Backrooms is built on a strong horror misdirection: the first wrong thing is a doorway in a furniture showroom, a place designed to feel ordinary. OSN+ has the UAE stream scheduled for 23 October, giving this feature a firm date rather than another vague “coming soon” shrug.

Backrooms trailer
The trailer sets up the film’s ordinary-place-gone-wrong hook.
What Is It About?
TMDB’s premise is clean and unsettling: a strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom. The bland setting does useful work; a familiar room becoming the wrong room is a sharper invitation than a paragraph of lore. TMDB classifies the film as Horror, Mystery and Science Fiction.
How Long Is Backrooms?
Backrooms is a standalone feature, not a season-led series. TMDB lists its runtime at 111 minutes, a neat one-sitting length for a story that starts with a doorway and declines to promise a sensible route back.
Who Is in the Cast?
The top billing puts Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Clark and Renate Reinsve’s Mary at the centre, with Finn Bennett as Bobby, Lukita Maxwell as Kat, Mark Duplass as Phil and Avan Jogia as Naren Warne. That is a substantial ensemble for a horror premise built around an empty space; the film’s job is to make those six people feel less alone than the room does.
