The horror movie is theatrically releasing tomorrow, but the early reviews are already out and all over social media X [formerly Twitter]. It is expected to have a record opening weekend for any A24 movie, but what are the early reviews saying? Scroll below to find out.

The movie had its world premiere earlier this month at the Aero Theatre in LA. The movie features a rich cast comprising Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell in leading roles. The movie is expected to prove once again that small-budget projects with strong plots can win hearts at the theaters.

Film critic Hunter Bolding wrote, “Backrooms is woefully boring. Inept, meandering, and all style, no substance, the film is just like the Backrooms it comes from. A movie without a plot, the performers do a fine job with a substandard script. There’s a distinct lack of scares outside of POV scenes.”

Rotten Tomato-approved critic, Courtney Howard said, “#Backrooms / #BackroomsMovie scrambled my brain & f*cked me up real good. Chiwetel Ejiofor & Renate Reinsve explore a veritable nightmare factory. Kane Parsons is a modernist architect of panic attacks.”

Movie critic Tom Chatalbash writes, “#Backrooms is a spine-tingling debut for Kane Parsons. His restraint and patience as a filmmaker at such a young age is impressive, using wide, open framing and near ceaseless tension to make the audience feel paranoid and wholly uneasy throughout. Ejiofor delivers haunting, top-tier work that, coupled with the retro aesthetic and the truly incredible production design, makes for a wonderfully refreshing horror film that swallowed me whole. Safe to say, I’ll never look at furniture the same way again. Full review tomorrow!”

Entertainment reporter Jonathan Sim wrote, #Backrooms is quietly unnerving horror and a promising debut from Kane Parsons (who DID direct the movie).”

Taylor Gonzales another film critic said, “Backrooms is deeply unsettling in the best way possible. As someone who wasn’t super familiar with the concept before this film, I am HOOKED. A mix between Severance and Paranormal Activity. #Backrooms demands a 2nd viewing. There’s so much to unpack and explore.”

Another critic Christopher Gallardo said, “BACKROOMS is chilling, uniquely mysterious, and exceptionally creepy. Kane Parsons’ distinctive direction shows great confidence, perfectly blending his YouTube style with A24’s cinematic flair. Deep in gaslighting and empathy, this film sticks out as a great debut.”
