CreaZion Studios Brings A24’s Sci-fi Horror ‘BACKROOMS’ to Philippine Cinemas
The global phenomenon that captivated a generation, Backrooms is coming to the Philippines on June 3, 2026 through CreaZion Studios.
Produced by genre powerhouse A24 with Chernin Entertainment, Atomic Monster, and 21 Laps, the highly-anticipated science fiction-horror film Backrooms is the directorial debut of prodigy Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old YouTuber who turned the viral legend into a cinematic nightmare.
Parsons’ web series about secret backrooms garnered nearly 100 million views. The Creepypasta-inspired horror has also been adapted into numerous video games, including on the platforms Steam and Roblox.
Academy Award nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value, The Worst Person In The World) star in the movie, alongside Mark Duplass (The Morning Show), Finn Bennett (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap), Chelah Horsdal (Hell on Wheels), and Toby Hargrave (Superman & Lois).
In the teaser, a strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom, plunging the viewer into a world where time slips and space shifts. The first poster for the film, meanwhile, features a familiar yellowish wallpaper.
#KwentoMoTo: Bringing Human Stories & Experiences
Backrooms is the latest highly-anticipated international film that CreaZion Studios is bringing to the Philippines, as part of its #KwentoMoTo mission to make “Human Stories and Human Experiences” accessible to Filipino and Southeast Asian audiences.
“As a major player in film distribution in the Southeast Asia (SEA) region, CreaZion Studios finds purpose and meaning in giving SEA audiences the opportunity to experience well-crafted films, in the best possible way — in cinemas,” said RJ San Agustin, President, CEO & Co-Founder of CreaZion Studios.
“Nothing compares to the experience of watching a film on the big screen, particularly works distinguished by excellence in writing, performance, cinematography, and overall execution. BACKROOMS marks the beginning of CreaZion Studios’ slate of international titles for exclusive distribution in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia, and we look forward to unveiling more of our forthcoming releases under our banner, #KwentoMoTo.”
Last year, CreaZion Studios successfully brought to the domestic and SEA markets the critically-acclaimed filmmaker Park Chan Wook’s No Other Choice and A24 fantasy adventure film The Legend of Ochi; and in 2024, the award-winning body horror film The Substance.
