You wait ages for a psychological horror film that takes place in a liminal space, then two turn up at once…

Hot on the heels of the Japanese film Exit 8 comes the latest A24 release, Backrooms:

'Adapted from his own YouTube series (itself inspired by a piece of internet horror folklore which evolved into an entire fandom), 20-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons directs an all-star cast in a feature-length exploration of the backrooms, where a strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom.'

Meet in the Broadway Café Bar from 5.30pm to say hello, before taking our seats in Screen 2 for the 6pm showing. Afterwards, we’ll gather together again in the Café Bar to discuss the film.
