The director of only twenty years who revolutionizes horror cinema with 'Backrooms'

When he was sixteen, Kane Parsons made short films based on a creepypasta (chilling legends that originate and go viral on the internet) called The Backrooms. Conceived as short, stylized horror films Obsession), the renewal of a certain current genre cinema comes from the collision with the strange universe of some of the most talented internet creators.

Parsons' has turned out to be the strangest of all: the original creepypasta is just the starting point for an extraordinary film that, like the space that constitutes its main location, expands in multiple directions and proposes a distorted and delirious vision of reality. This alternative universe that Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the anxious owner of a furniture store, discovers in his premises is an endless labyrinth of yellowish walls, an aseptic non-place that could recall a depressing office building (like in the series the series

Severance), if it weren't because it soon reveals itself as a sort of altered simulation of the world. Parsons manages to combine, with unusual maturity for his age, a synthesis of previous references (from Charlie Kaufman's tangled mental labyrinths to David Lynch's strange worlds) and an impulse for renewal capable of generating images – the incredible design of the space, but also that of certain unforgettable characters – that seem to inaugurate a new era, or at least a new visual paradigm, in current horror.
