backrooms movie explained: Viral Video Claims Upcoming A24 Film Is Actually a Classified CIA Training Simulation
A viral TikTok video with over 4 million views is claiming that the much-anticipated "Backrooms" movie, which went viral after A24 acquired the rights to Kane Pixels' YouTube series, is not a fictional horror film but a real CIA training simulation leaked online. The footage in the TikTok shows eerie, yellow-lit office mazes labeled as "declassified test environments," with a narrator insisting that actors were told they were filming a movie, but the "distress studies" are authentic. Let's be clear: THIS IS FAKE. The "Backrooms" movie is a legitimate creepypasta-inspired project by director Kane Parsons, and A24 has confirmed it is a work of fiction. The CIA has no such simulation, and the viral clip is a clever edit using unused test footage from the real short film. While the concept is chilling, it's entirely fabricated for online engagement.
