The international horror film "Backrooms" made an impressive debut last week both in Estonian and cinemas worldwide. In Estonia, the film attracted over 7,000 viewers in its opening days, demonstrating the genre's popularity with local audiences.

Behind the film is just 20-year-old director Kane Parsons, whose feature-length debut managed to earn a remarkable $118 million internationally at the box office on its opening weekend. This is an extraordinary result for both such a young filmmaker and an original horror concept.

"Backrooms" is based on an urban legend that spread online, according to which a person can slip from a familiar room into an endless labyrinth of yellow corridors. The concept has been popular among internet culture enthusiasts for years, and now it has made it to the big screen.
