The portal leads to endless yellow rooms with fluorescent lighting and strange architecture, inhabited by a lurking creature.\n\nBackrooms, directed by Kane Parsons, is his directorial debut. The film, partially based on Parsons' YouTube videos, grossed over $400 million worldwide. Critics have praised the film's visual composition, terrifying production design, and complex protagonist.",
