Have you seen it?\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s called<em> The Backrooms<\/em>. It was uploaded to YouTube on Jan. 7 and is a nine-minute film directed by Kane Parsons, who also goes by Kane Pixels. This kid is a talented VFX artist too and used his skills as a filmmaker to explore liminal spaces and cosmic horror, a world based on popular internet horror stories.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo what is this film about? The short follows a camera operator who falls over while shooting a film. He slips through a crack in reality and wakes up in an abandoned building on another plane. There&#8217;s a horrible dial-up sound, a creepy message telling him to stay still, and long corridors that cast dark shadows. He&#8217;s stuck in a maze of hallways with no way out. This is creepier than many recent big-budget horror films, and it&#8217;s such a simple concept.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWatch the full film by Kane Pixels here, and let&#8217;s talk after.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/backrooms-short-film-explained\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Author: Jason Hellerman<br \/>\nThis article comes from <i>No Film School<\/i> and can be <a href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/backrooms-short-film-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>read on the original site.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine being 16 years old and directing the best horror short film in years.
