A24 Drops a 1-Hour BACKROOMS Ambience Video That's Slightly More Boring Than the Movie
Just when you thought you'd escaped the endless yellow hallways of Backrooms, A24 has found a way to pull you right back in.
As the studio gears up for the film's Digital release, it's offering fans one more eerie little bonus by uploading a YouTube video titled "1 Hour of Backrooms Ambience." If the title sounds self explanatory, that's because it is.
The hour-long video drops viewers back into the unsettling liminal world of Backrooms, complete with its familiar fluorescent hum and empty maze-like corridors.
It's designed to let fans immerse themselves in the film's atmosphere, whether you're looking for creepy background noise while you work, something strange to fall asleep to, or you simply can't get enough of spending time in this yellow office setting.
The video arrives on the heels of this past weekend's extended "Everything Must Go Edition," which included an extra 16 minutes of bonus footage from director Kane Parsons after the feature presentation.
I'll be honest though, I thought Backrooms was a pretty boring movie, and this ambience video is just slightly more boring than that. Then again, that's kind of the point.
If you were one of the people who really connected with the film's unsettling atmosphere and enjoyed simply existing inside that creepy liminal space, this is probably going to be right up your alley. There's definitely an audience for this kind of thing, even if I wasn't one of them.
Whether you loved it or not, there's no denying Backrooms found a massive audience. From A24 and Parsons, the film has become the second highest-grossing horror movie of 2026, earning an impressive $349.7 million at the worldwide box office.
The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as the owner of Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire, who discovers a mysterious doorway hidden beneath the basement of his furniture showroom. Curious to see what's on the other side, he steps into an impossible liminal space and finds himself trapped inside a living creepypasta nightmare.
Backrooms marks Parsons' feature directorial debut after launching the viral YouTube series in 2022. The original videos became an internet phenomenon and have accumulated more than 190 million views, making the jump to the big screen one of horror's biggest success stories in recent years.
If spending another hour wandering empty hallways with buzzing fluorescent lights sounds like your idea of a good time, A24 has you covered.
