Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest to Premiere Extended Backrooms Cut
Event Details
The Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest will showcase the new extended version of Backrooms: Total Liquidation on August 1 at 10 p.m. at La Misericòrdia. This screening is part of the festival’s Trends section, which runs from July 24 to August 2.
Why This Version Stands Out
16 Minutes of Unreleased Footage
The extended cut adds 16 minutes that were never shown in theaters. Festival organizers stress that these minutes are not deleted scenes but fresh material designed to expand the Backrooms universe, deepen the mystery, and give fans more clues to theorize about.
Record‑Breaking Popularity
Even with only five weeks in theaters, the original Backrooms film drew 938,000 spectators, making it the most‑watched horror movie of the year and the sixth‑best genre premiere since 2020.
About the Creator
Kane Parsons – From YouTube to the Big Screen
Kane Parsons, a 21‑year‑old American YouTuber and film director, first gained attention in 2022 with a series of horror shorts inspired by the Backrooms phenomenon. Those shorts laid the groundwork for the feature film now being screened in its extended form.
What to Expect at the Screening
Audiences will experience a version that:
- Adds new layers to the story’s lore.
- Introduces fresh visual and auditory cues that fuel fan theories.
- Shows that there are still unexplored corners within the Backrooms mythos.
The festival describes the event as a “unique opportunity to discover this new montage on the big screen.”
Conclusion
The Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest’s presentation of the extended Backrooms cut offers both longtime fans and newcomers a chance to dive deeper into one of the most talked‑about horror projects of recent years. With fresh footage, a young visionary director behind it, and a prime summer screening slot, the event promises to be a highlight of the festival’s program.
