Where to watch 'Backrooms': Is the horror film available for streaming as well?
'Backrooms', the highly anticipated horror film, has everyone talking. Directed by Kane Parsons, the film centres on a door that appears in a furniture showroom and leads to a seemingly endless series of beige, sterile back rooms in deeply unsettling ways. Beyond that, it is best to go in knowing as little as possible, as the promotional material has made clear; this is the kind of film best experienced with minimal prior knowledge.Here is everything you need to know about where and when to watch it.

Is 'Backrooms' in theatres now?

Yes. 'Backrooms' was released in theatres on May 29, 2026. Whether you prefer to watch horror films in a crowd for the shared experience or at home where you can pause and step away, the theatrical run is currently your only option for now.

Where will 'Backrooms' be streaming?

The film has a streaming distribution deal in place, meaning 'Backrooms' will eventually be available to stream later this year. Based on the pattern of recent releases from the same studio, a streaming debut around late September 2026 appears to be a reasonable estimate, though no official date has been confirmed.Before that, the film will likely become available to rent digitally on demand, typically about one month after the theatrical premiere.

What to watch while you wait

If the 'Backrooms' trailer has given you strong 'Severance' vibes, that series is well worth a watch or rewatch in the meantime. You can also watch Kane Parsons' original 'Backrooms' web series that inspired the film, or explore the creepypasta meme that started it all.For those interested in the cast, here are some recommendations featuring the film's actors. Chiwetel Ejiofor can be seen in 'Dancing on the Edge' and 'The Life of Chuck'. Renate Reinsvate appears in 'A Different Man'. Mark Duplass features in 'Room 104' and 'The Creep Tapes'. Finn Bennett stars in 'Warfare'. Lukita Maxwell appears in 'Generation', and Avan Jogia in 'Now Apocalypse'.
