Back in 2022, ‘The Backrooms,’ a short film by Kane Parsons went viral, racking up millioms of views and capturing the horror community’s imagination. We covered it here at PopHorror, but I somehow completely missed it. That small film inspired A24’s new full length horror feature, Backrooms, which is scaring …

A lot of us think the rich are deserving of tragedy. I know my thoughts on the subject and side with the premise of the movie. What would happen to the world if the wealthy caught a virus exclusive to them? I call it karma, but who am I to …
