About this episode

The hosts review the 2026 horror movie 'Backrooms', discussing its plot and themes.

This week on HTGS reviews, Dave, Rob and Jesse hit the theatres to watch the 2026 horror movie, backrooms! The Backrooms movie is a psychological sci-fi horror film centered on a failed architect and furniture store owner named Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who discovers a mysterious portal in his shop's basement. This portal leads to "The Backrooms"—a seemingly endless, maze-like dimension of yellow-wallpapered rooms, humming fluorescent lights, and disjointed liminal spaces.
