Backrooms has officially landed on PVOD platforms like Apple TV and Prime Video. The liminal horror hit, which currently stands as A24\u2019s highest-grossing movie of all time<\/a>, received just over 45 days of theater exclusivity. <\/p>\n

In her 8\/10 review for IGN<\/a>, writer Lex Briscuso praised the film as \u201ca terrifying and thrilling big-screen debut\u201d for director Kane Parsons. If you didn\u2019t happen to catch the creepypasta-inspired<\/a> movie in theaters, here\u2019s how you can watch it online as well as everything we know about its streaming and DVD release. <\/p>\n

Backrooms Lands on Digital, Streaming Release Date TBA<\/p>\n

Backrooms is available to rent for $19.99 or purchase digitally for $24.99. Purchasing the movie does not appear to net you any digital extras, suggesting that bonus features like the extended cut that was recently shown in theaters<\/a> will be reserved for the film\u2019s DVD release. <\/p>\n

Backrooms<\/p>\n

11<\/p>\n

A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom, leading to an endless network of interconnected rooms where time bends and the only thing scarier than getting lost is the sense that something is laying in wait.<\/p>\n

Speaking of, A24’s X account has officially confirmed<\/a> that we’ll be getting news about the movie’s 4K and Blu-ray releases on July 15. If you want a sneak peak, some standard 4K UHD listings have already appeared on the Canadian version of Gruv<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What About Streaming? <\/p>\n

Backrooms will eventually land on HBO Max, courtesy of an ongoing deal<\/a> between A24 and the Warner Bros.-owned service. While we haven\u2019t gotten word of an official release date, recent A24 releases like Marty Supreme<\/a> and How to Make a Killing<\/a> have taken about four months to come to the streaming service. Assuming Backrooms follows a similar timeline, it should be available to HBO Max subscribers starting in late September or early October. <\/p>\n

Backrooms is the directorial debut for Kane Parsons, who had previously built up his own audience through the development of the Backrooms-inspired \u2018Found Footage\u2019 series on YouTube. The movie shared the bulk of its theatrical run with the breakout indie hit Obsession<\/a>, leading to a summer box office dominated by young directors in horror<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It’s not at all surprising then that we\u2019ve already gotten confirmation about a sequel<\/a>. Meanwhile Parsons, who admitted to adding a Half-Life reference<\/a> into his directorial debut, has been putting his foot in the ring for a potential adaptation of Portal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The film’s success has also seemingly inspired a wave of \u2018internet horror\u2019 movies getting the green light. For example, Zach Cregger, the director of Weapons<\/a> and the upcoming Resident Evil movie<\/a>, has already been tapped to produce a movie based on the Siren Head creepypasta<\/a>.<\/p>\n
