A24’s latest horror movie, Backrooms, has left viewers with plenty of questions after its unsettling ending. One of the biggest questions viewers have been asking is whether the movie has a post-credit scene that could explain what happens next.
Backrooms becomes a breakout hit for A24
Backrooms, directed by Kane Parsons, released in theaters on May 29. The filmmaker first gained attention through his viral YouTube horror series Backrooms. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark and Renate Reinsve as Dr Mary Kline.

Backrooms ending explained
The film’s final act centers on Mary when she attempts to escape the Backrooms after Clark’s obsession with the backroom reaches a tragic conclusion. Clark dies after a confrontation involving a monstrous version of himself that has emerged within the strange world.
It shows Mary escaping, but the ending introduces a new uncertainty. She is taken into custody by individuals connected to Async, an organization studying the Backrooms and its mysteries. During the final scenes, Mary is questioned in a normal room. But the environment resembles the spaces found throughout the Backrooms. This leaves a question whether she actually escaped or is still in a loop.
Director Kane Parsons has intentionally avoided giving a definitive answer. However, he has indicated that the story could continue in future installments.
