The A24 film 'Backrooms' is making its way to the big screen, adapting and expanding upon an existing online phenomenon.

The project is notably steered by its original creator, Kane Parsons, known online as Kane Pixels.

Parsons' work, which has been described as 'liminal horror,' aims to capture a specific fear prevalent among Generation Z.

This fear, according to Parsons' influences, stems from the contemplation of empty spaces that were once vibrant and full, and the likelihood that they may never return to that state.

This development is significant as it brings a unique, internet-native perspective on modern anxieties to a mainstream cinematic platform.

Parsons' creative background offers insight into the themes explored in 'Backrooms.' His online presence, including his YouTube page, reveals influences such as the anime 'Attack On Titan' and the video game 'Portal.' He also frequently cites the television series 'Mr.

Robot' as a major influence, a show recognized for its portrayal of modern technological alienation.

The creator's journey from online content creator to Hollywood filmmaker highlights a growing trend of internet-born concepts transitioning into traditional media.

Parsons' approach to horror is rooted in the idea that while screens present their own set of problems, they might be preferable to the alternative of increasingly empty and understaffed public spaces, where communal interaction has diminished.

This perspective suggests that the fear depicted in 'Backrooms' is not merely about physical emptiness but also about the loss of shared public experiences and the shift towards more isolated, screen-mediated interactions.
