About this episode
This episode discusses the horror film 'Backrooms' (2026) and its impact on low-budget storytelling in cinema.
If you haven’t seen Backrooms (2026) yet, you’re missing out on one of the most intriguing horror experiences in recent years. Directed by Kane Parsons, this film takes the viral creepypasta concept and turns it into a dread-filled, must-watch nightmare. With an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and a massive box office draw, it’s proof that original, low-budget storytelling is becoming the future of film. My short film, “Bishop’s Day” is available to check out on YouTube , and make sure to check out my written reviews at www.ClassicAmericanMovies.com
