Description

YOU WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO FIND THIS DOOR… Tara Erickson & Roxy Striar experience A24’s Backrooms (2026) for the first time, reacting to Kane Parsons’ feature-length expansion of his viral Backrooms analog-horror series. In this Backrooms movie reaction and review, Tara & Roxy follow a mysterious doorway beneath a furniture showroom into an endless liminal maze filled with disorienting spaces, disturbing discoveries, terrifying creature encounters, and unpredictable jump scares. They also react to Backrooms: Everything Must Go, featuring 16 minutes of bonus footage, while discussing the unsettling ending, found-footage influences, massive practical sets, and visual effects that bring Kane Pixels’ internet phenomenon to life.

Directed and co-scored by Kane Parsons, with a screenplay by Will Soodik, Backrooms stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark (12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange), Renate Reinsve as Dr. Mary Kline (The Worst Person in the World, A Different Man), Mark Duplass as Phil (Creep, The Morning Show), Finn Bennett as Bobby (True Detective: Night Country, Warfare), and Lukita Maxwell as Kat (Shrinking, Generation), alongside Avan Jogia (Victorious, Zombieland: Double Tap). Tara & Roxy react to the furniture-store basement portal, the maze’s iconic yellow corridors, the film’s unnerving monster sequences, its blend of psychological and science-fiction horror, and Kane Parsons’ evolution from Blender-created YouTube shorts to an ambitious A24 feature. #BackroomsMovie #A24 #Backrooms #KaneParsons #KanePixels #LiminalSpaces #AnalogHorror #FoundFootage #HorrorMovies #MovieReaction #ReelRejects #TaraAndRoxy #EverythingMustGo #A24Horror BACKROOMS MOVIE REACTION(Greg and Jackie): https://youtu.be/iTidkZQyq70 OBSESSION MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/8SHrVI7JmC4 X MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/vJcI88xvZgI THE MIST MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/J5qlalDMxhI Follow *Tara Erickson* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow *Roxy Striar* YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/roxystriar 0:00 Leave A Like 1:47 Backrooms Reaction 31:31 Huel 33:21 Backrooms Movie Reaction 58:26 Backrooms Movie Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

The best thing about this channel (being someone who is a cinephile) is the many different reactions to these popular movies. I love being able to see 2 videos on the same movie but 2 entirely seperate perspectives

i feel so silly after watching this movie multiple times with reactors and finally making the connection between Mary phrase “open the window” and the her childhood trauma 😂

Clark couldn't bring his phone into the backrooms because it was 1990.

That kills me... It was Clark who was leaving the message on the answering machine about finding the window, not the mom.

To me, the scary thing about Mary's copy being stuck in the backrooms, the look of hopelessness on her face. As if she had already been running around in the backrooms like a chicken with her head cut off, caught in a loop, eventually running out of energy, and having to sit down in abject despair, possibly contemplating the concept of being trapped there forever. How do I know there isn't a copy of me sitting in the backrooms doing the same thing? At least in my mind, there is the concept of that.
