Backrooms Director Confirms Portal 2 Inspired His Terrifying Film

bekir May 28, 2026 1 min read 4 views

Parsons said, “Portal 2 is probably my biggest inspiration.” He added that its inherent humor and absurdity fuel his creative process, noting that many of his darker ideas stem from that same comedic core.

The director also revealed that the game’s environments have been haunting his thoughts for years—and that he often dreams of them. According to Parsons, the feeling of standing inside vast, endless, decaying spaces directly taps into the Backrooms’ essence and its infamous liminal zones.

Backrooms follows a therapist, played by Renate Reinsve, who ventures into a nightmarish dimension to locate a missing patient portrayed by Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film also boasts performances from Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Avan Jogia.

Analysis: Casting high‑profile actors like Reinsve and Ejiofor signals the studio’s commitment to elevating the Backrooms franchise into mainstream cinema, potentially attracting a broader audience beyond the original fanbase.
