Backrooms

We bid you welcome to the MODERN HORROR PODCAST. Hosted by authors A. J. Black and Hugh McStay, Modern Horror focuses on horror cinema from 2010 onwards, examining the best, worst, biggest and most obscure horror pictures from around the world. This week we look at the newest box office horror sensation, the adaptation of prodigy director Kane Parsons' YouTube series, Backrooms. We discuss the rise of a new generation of filmmaker emerging from a different creative medium; the history of The Backrooms and its attendant lore; the fusion of low-fi horror concepts with prestige actors; and wonder about the vanguard this might lead given its rampant success...
