Kane pixels nailed this. This backrooms short film goes hand in hand with the lore and has multiple references to specific images of liminal spaces. The sound design is also incredibly well done and fully immerses you in the environment. The phenomenal editing keeps the viewer from knowing when there will be an actual jumpscare.

For being low budget, filmed by someone under the age of 18, and being based of an urban legend, it is an amazing adaptation with a gripping and suspenseful 9 minutes of film. Just having one person be the main character throughout the whole film only adds to the suspense.

It's supremely difficult to rate this short without taking the series Kane Pixels has been making into account. Each episode has been layering and weaving hints of the larger picture that explains the viral creepypasta of the Backrooms.

While there are far more polished horror films out there, even in the found-footage realm, the tension created in this space is nearly perfect. There are real and imagined dangers with enough puzzle pieces keeping you distracted and intrigued that, even in such a short piece, the horror aspects still manage to surprise and delight.

Go on YouTube, watch this series. You'll be glad you did.

Excellent piece of work, and quite possibly the scariest thing I've ever seen. This adaptation of The Backrooms blends a creepy atmosphere, terrifying sound effects, and an unbelievably cool set. 10/10.

The Backrooms (2022) follows a cameraman who finds himself clipped into the backrooms, and this short records his journey wandering around the liminal spaces. I can't praise this short enough, the legend of the backrooms is one of my biggest fears and I hope to see Kane Parsons make something like this again as it shows great potential!

This short was incredibly well-made and felt so real, the found footage element was perfect and really added to the immersion. For me, this film perfectly captures the horrors of liminal spaces.

Visually, this film was great too. The colour palettes were sickly, eerie and unnerving. It definitely wasn't pleasing to the eye but this is exactly why it's so horrifying. The backrooms look so ominous and unsettling yet also nostalgic and strangely familiar.

Possibly the most effective element of the short in my opinion was the sound design. It gave me chills on numerous occasions and really shook me to the core. The static hum mixed with the loud, horrendous noises from the creature creates an absolute nightmare.

Up until seeing the entity, the short builds the tension insanely well. Every corner turned I found myself more on edge and nervous for what was to come.

Lastly, the creature itself was designed to be simple, but super effective and weirdly terrifying. This short film scared me more in ten minutes than most feature length horror films do in two hours.

I love this project. The fact that this is created at virtual environment is just stunning. If you love liminal spaces, dreamcore or weirdcore you would know why this is so great.

Just the sound effects and the sets are amazing everything about this is just eerie just like the backrooms. This is the best adaptation of the backrooms and everything about is top notch.

I think this will probably be engraved in textbooks for next generations to learn about. THAT'S how iconic this episode is. This whole 9 minute video is way too amazing for just one 16 year old to have animated. So amazing to look at. Looks beautiful. Captures that style of old cameras perfectly. Amazing.

9.5/10.

I like it. In fact, I love it. But the one problem I have with it, is it gives me partial nightmares. . I have to get this up to 150 letters so here we go. .

This video is available to watch it on YouTube. I've heard things about this video, I've seen some memes about it and a video for telling the explanation of backrooms. When I lied down on my bed and watched Backroom found footage, I was on the edge of my seat and I was so anxious about what's gonna happen. I have nothing to complain about this video. A must watch.

Awesome Film! It blew my mind when I first saw it. This 16 year old has a lot of talent. I wish I could do CGI in Blender. I have really tried but blender is IMPOSSIBLE!!!

I love how awful this started out, only to turn into perhaps the most terrifying 9 minutes of my life. The ability to tell a story with anxiety and solid use of location cannot be matched with a budget lower than this. I'm almost confused enough to think that the camera has an old film filter to making me thing that the location may be digital. Like Severance, I kinda feel like my mind was melting trying to process what I was looking at.

The creature was really original and they did a good job frightening me every second it was in frame. Really excited to see this being adapted into a Hollywood feature film by A24.

When I watched this short film, I thought it was very old. How did they shoot this, I said to myself. But after seeing it's 2022, it doesn't matter how they shot it :) I think it's a very good short film.

It's always really inspiring to see a small project like this become so popular, and in the case of The Backrooms, it's well deserved. The atmosphere is on point, the little acting we get is solid, and the suspense is very well handled. And even though the film is mostly made in blender, it's very convincing. Good job, Kane Parsons!
