A highly anticipated Blu-ray and 4K edition of the horror hit Backrooms has been officially confirmed, promising fans an immersive look behind the curtain with nearly three hours of special features. The film, which has taken Hollywood by storm, continues to build on the momentum of its successful theatrical run.
Directed by Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old filmmaker who gained massive popularity through his YouTube short films, Backrooms is rooted in the internet’s famous “creepypasta” lore. The movie stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as a furniture store owner who discovers a terrifying dimension of endless liminal spaces hidden within his own basement, with Renate Reinsve co-starring as his therapist.
A Deep Dive into the Backrooms Universe
Since its release in May, the film has achieved significant commercial success, grossing $331 million against a modest $10 million budget. To celebrate this achievement, A24 has announced an exclusive home media release that caters to the film’s dedicated fanbase.
Keep up. It only gets better. A24 Shop Exclusive Blu-ray & 4K editions of Kane Parsons’ Backrooms are now available for preorder.

The A24 exclusive edition is packed with supplemental content, including the Everything Must Go bonus footage, director and crew commentary, and a brand-new making-of documentary. For those interested in the technical wizardry behind the film, the release also features a detailed VFX deep dive and a prop walkthrough led by Parsons himself, alongside additional VFX breakdowns and six collectible postcards.
Expanding the Narrative
This home media announcement follows news of a special extended cut, titled Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition, which includes 15 minutes of additional footage. Addressing fan curiosity on Discord, Parsons clarified that the new material is not standard behind-the-scenes filler, but rather content that will appeal to those who enjoyed his original YouTube series.
While the film has sparked debate regarding the use of AI in cinema—a practice Parsons has publicly criticized as “cultural rot”—the project remains a testament to his unique vision. As the film continues to find its audience, the upcoming Blu-ray and 4K editions offer a definitive way to explore the intersection of dread and delirium that defines the Backrooms experience.
