A24 has officially unveiled the 4K UHD and standard Blu‑Ray releases of its highest‑grossing film ‘Backrooms’. Both formats include almost three hours of bonus material and are now available for preorder exclusively through the A24 Shop.
Key Takeaways
- ‘Backrooms’ 4K UHD and Blu‑Ray priced at $35 and $30, respectively, now available for preorder.
- Nearly three hours of special features, including ‘Everything Must Go’ footage and VFX deep dives.

One of the most talked‑about entries in modern horror, Kane Parsons’ ‘Backrooms’, is finally heading home. A24 announced detailed specs for both the 4K UHD and standard HD Blu‑Ray versions, pricing them at $35 and $30. This move brings the studio’s top‑grossing title to the living‑room market, underscoring a strategic pivot toward high‑value home‑media revenue.
Depth of Bonus Content
The two discs together boast roughly three hours of supplemental material. Highlights include the limited‑time theatrical “Everything Must Go” footage (16 minutes), an extensive VFX deep‑dive and prop walkthrough (26 minutes), and two optional VFX breakdowns (5 minutes and 2 minutes). Collectors will also receive six exclusive postcards featuring the film’s uncanny rooms and objects, adding a tactile layer to the viewing experience.
Preorder Mechanics and Membership Perks
Both editions are available for preorder exclusively via the A24 Shop, with shipments slated for late August. Members of the AAA24 subscription program can apply a 10 % discount, effectively lowering the cost while reinforcing brand loyalty. By limiting distribution to its own storefront, A24 retains full control over pricing, packaging, and the collector‑centric narrative it wishes to convey.
Packaging Aesthetic
The physical packaging mirrors the film’s iconic yellow‑walled setting. The outer case showcases Renate Reinsve as Dr. Mary Kline, while the inner sleeve features a still of Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark. Opening the case reveals an image of Clark spending a night in his furniture store—a visual cue that references the blue packing tape used in‑film to mark “no‑clipping” zones.
Future Outlook
Beyond the physical release, ‘Backrooms’ is slated for digital distribution on HBO Max later this year, keeping the title in the streaming conversation. The film’s commercial triumph has already sparked early talks of a sequel, suggesting that the liminal horror universe may continue to expand across media formats.
