Viral internet horror has officially arrived in the mainstream. Directed by 20-year-old filmmaker and YouTube sensation Kane Parsons, Backrooms expands the unsettling mythology of his massively popular YouTube series into a full-scale theatrical event. Blending found footage realism, liminal space horror, and ambitious visual effects, the film follows a therapist who ventures into a mysterious dimension of endless, shifting rooms in search of her missing patient. Starring Mark Duplass, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve,, the A24 release has become one of the year's biggest genre events.

The film's theatrical debut exceeded even the most optimistic expectations, opening to approximately $81.5 million domestically and $118 million worldwide, the largest opening weekend in A24 history. Parsons also became the youngest filmmaker ever to direct the #1 movie at the box office, cementing Backrooms as a landmark success for both independent horror and the new generation of creators emerging from YouTube. Now surpassing $250 million worldwide, Backrooms has become A24's highest-grossing film ever and one of the most successful horror releases of 2026, proving that internet-born horror can compete with—and outperform—many major studio franchises.

Go To Sleep is the latest original feature from FOUND TV — a psychological found footage horror film following a recently single man who begins documenting increasingly disturbing sleepwalking episodes after moving into a new home. As the nights grow more violent and unexplainable, the footage suggests he may not be alone inside the house. Directed by Steven Espinoza and co-written with Chris Vander Kaay (.ASK), the film leans heavily into claustrophobic POV camerawork, paranoia, and supernatural dread.

Following its festival debut, Go To Sleep will launch globally as a FOUND TV exclusive, continuing the platform’s growing focus on original found footage productions. With its stripped-down realism, escalating tension, and unsettling “something is watching” atmosphere, the film is shaping up to be one of the more notable indie POV horror releases of the summer festival season.

After retreating to an isolated cabin deep in the wilderness, an aspiring vlogger documents his attempt to disconnect from the outside world and rebuild his fractured sense of self. But as strange phenomena begin to emerge from the surrounding forest, he realizes an ancient natural force has marked him for something far more terrifying.

Directed by filmmaker duo Charlie Robb and Douglas Tawn, Loner blends psychological horror, wilderness survival, and found-footage-style realism into a tense descent into isolation and paranoia. Shot against the bleak backdrop of the British countryside, the film leans heavily into atmospheric dread, capturing the feeling of being completely cut off from civilization while something ancient and unknowable closes in.

Debuting as a FoundTV exclusive, Loner joins the platform’s expanding lineup of independent horror and POV-driven genre films, offering audiences a slow-burning nightmare rooted in nature, solitude, and the terrifying idea that some places were never meant to be disturbed.

Primal Darkness is a found-footage horror anthology built around a series of recovered recordings from people who ventured into remote wilderness areas and never quite made it back the same. Each segment captures what begins as an ordinary trip that slowly unravels.

As the footage continues, strange sounds echo through the forest, familiar landmarks disappear, and the sense of being watched—or followed—starts to creep in. The result is a chilling reminder of how quickly a simple trip into nature can turn into something deeply disturbing.
