Viral internet horror has officially arrived in the mainstream. Directed by 20-year-old filmmaker and YouTube sensation Kane Parsons, Backrooms expands the unsettling mythology of his massively popular YouTube series into a full-scale theatrical event. Blending found footage realism, liminal space horror, and ambitious visual effects, the film follows a therapist who ventures into a mysterious dimension of endless, shifting rooms in search of her missing patient. Starring Mark Duplass, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve,, the A24 release has become one of the year's biggest genre events.
The film's theatrical debut exceeded even the most optimistic expectations, opening to approximately $81.5 million domestically and $118 million worldwide, the largest opening weekend in A24 history. Parsons also became the youngest filmmaker ever to direct the #1 movie at the box office, cementing Backrooms as a landmark success for both independent horror and the new generation of creators emerging from YouTube. Now surpassing $250 million worldwide, Backrooms has become A24's highest-grossing film ever and one of the most successful horror releases of 2026, proving that internet-born horror can compete with—and outperform—many major studio franchises.

As the Human Human Hibachi trilogy reaches its shocking conclusion, Human Hibachi 3: The Last Supper serves up the franchise’s most disturbing and ambitious chapter yet. Directed by Mario Cerrito III, the film builds upon the raw brutality and underground realism that made Human Hibachi and Human Hibachi 2: Feast in the Forest cult sensations within the extreme horror scene. In this final chapter, a gathering fueled by obsession, ritual, and violence spirals into horrors more disturbing than ever before.
After strong festival screenings and growing word-of-mouth within the indie horror community, The Last Supper has quickly become one of the most talked-about underground horror releases of the year, further cementing the Human Hibachi series as a modern cult phenomenon in found footage cinema.

Go To Sleep is the latest original feature from FOUND TV — a psychological found footage horror film following a recently single man who begins documenting increasingly disturbing sleepwalking episodes after moving into a new home. As the nights grow more violent and unexplainable, the footage suggests he may not be alone inside the house. Directed by Steven Espinoza and co-written with Chris Vander Kaay (.ASK), the film leans heavily into claustrophobic POV camerawork, paranoia, and supernatural dread.
Following its festival debut, Go To Sleep will launch globally as a FOUND TV exclusive, continuing the platform’s growing focus on original found footage productions. With its stripped-down realism, escalating tension, and unsettling “something is watching” atmosphere, the film is shaping up to be one of the more notable indie POV horror releases of the summer festival season.
