Azerbaijan Body Horror ‘Obitus’ Unleashes Deadly Parasites in New Trailer

Directed by Rec. Revana and written by Cahangir Suleymanov, the official trailer for Obitus has arrived.

The Massive Horror Hit ‘Backrooms’ Makes its Streaming Debut this September

Kane Parsons’ runaway box-office sensation Backrooms is officially making the jump to home screens. The horror hit will debut exclusively on HBO next month. Yellow Wallpaper, Green Cash To say Backrooms cleaned up at the box office would be a massive understatement. When A24 unleashed the film theatrically, it completely routed the competition. It pulled in a staggering $81 million domestically in its opening weekend alone against a modest $10 million budget. The triumph also made cinema history. A24 confirmed that the 19-year-old Parsons is now the youngest director ever to helm a number-one film at the global box office, which is impressive for a creator who started out experimenting with Blender animations in his bedroom. Welcome to Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire Scripted by Will Soodik, it is based on Parsons’ viral internet series, which has racked up over 190 million views. The nightmare follows Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor). He’s a struggling furniture store owner whose personal life is in shambles
