The Backrooms Returns to Theaters With Extended Cut Featuring New 16-Minute Scene and Alternate Ending

The extended cut of The Backrooms will hit theaters on July 9, giving horror fans a chance to experience the film with major new content. This version features a 16-minute post-credits scene filmed by director Kane Parsons after the original premiere, along with an alternate ending that expands the story's universe and introduces unexpected twists.

With a total runtime of 2 hours and 13 minutes, the extended edition is significantly longer than the initial release. The new 16-minute sequence appears after the credits, offering additional material for viewers to discover beyond the main narrative.

Kane Parsons, who directed the film, created the new post-credits scene on his own, drawing inspiration from his earlier YouTube videos about the Backrooms. This solo approach brings a blend of familiarity and innovation to the added footage, maintaining the film's signature unsettling atmosphere.

The alternate ending and extra scene reframe the events of The Backrooms, giving horror fans a rare opportunity to see an alternative version of the story on the big screen. These additions are intended to deepen the lore and broaden the universe of The Backrooms.

By the way, not long ago, the director of Backrooms visited Valve and expressed interest in making a Portal movie. We also recently published a feature highlighting the most anticipated movies and TV shows of the year.
