Backrooms OTT Release: Horror Movie Now Streaming on SonyLIV in 6 Languages
The horror and psychological thrillers of today have another title to add to their OTT watchlist. Backrooms—the 2026 horror film inspired by the internet phenomenon—is now available for streaming on SonyLIV in India.
The movie can be viewed in various languages and thus accessible to a wider audience in all the languages. Language options are Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English, Kannada and Malayalam. The film is also available on Airtel Xstream Play through SonyLIV to subscribers who are eligible.
Kane Parsons’ Backrooms expands the dark world that the filmmaker’s online work in the viral online world of his films has created into a feature-length film. The story is about a mysterious and unsettling environment that turns an apparently ordinary situation into a nightmare.
The concept of Backrooms was an Internet phenomenon, with images, videos and stories of infinite, strangely familiar spaces that make sense outside what we are actually in. When we make it into a movie, that unsettling idea is taken and a horror narrative is told.
For Indian viewers, the availability of dubbed versions makes the SonyLIV release particularly notable. For those that prefer international movies in regional languages, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or Malayalam, Hindi-speaking viewers can watch the Hindi version. There is also an original English version available.
The film has a reported runtime of about 1 hour and 51 minutes, so you can see the horror story in a pretty small format.
Backrooms OTT release on SonyLIV
The movie is currently available for streaming on SonyLIV in India. But viewers can search for Backrooms on the platform and look up the audio and subtitle options on their device.
There are no free standalone streaming options for the film at present according to the current streaming listings. However, it depends on the viewer's subscription or Airtel plan to view Airtel Xstream Play.
Backrooms Languages on OTT
One of the main benefits of the digital release is its multilingual availability. Backrooms is reportedly available in:
Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English, Kannada, Malayalam.
The multilingual release of the film also allows people from different parts of India to watch it and not only the English version.
What is Backrooms about?
Backrooms is constructed around a mysterious doorway that leads into an unnerving and seemingly endless environment. The setting is based on the internet’s long-running Backrooms mythology where ordinary rooms, corridors and spaces become increasingly disturbing.
Kane Parsons, who already had his Backrooms-like online videos, is the director. But the film takes that visual concept to a much wider cinematic scale. The cast includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mark Duplass and Renate Reinsve.
For fans of atmospheric horror, the movie may not be as scary as most monster-driven horror movies. The real attraction of the kind is the unsettling atmosphere, mystery of the whole Backrooms concept, and the psychological tension that follows.
How to Watch Backrooms Online
Indian viewers can now stream Backrooms on SonyLIV. It is also available via Airtel Xstream Play as SonyLIV content. Depending on the user’s subscription and access, viewers can choose the preferred language and start streaming the movie.
With Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English, Kannada and Malayalam options, the OTT release makes Backrooms accessible to a broad Indian audience. Horror fans who desire a dark and atmospheric international movie can now watch the 2026 title from home.
