BACKROOMS

Now Playing @ 🩷🤍 THE MAYFAIR 🤍🩷

🚪

A doorway appears.

You step through.

And suddenly, you're somewhere you were never meant to be.

The internet's most unsettling urban legend has arrived on the big screen. Backrooms takes the liminal spaces that have haunted countless nightmares and transforms them into one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

When a mysterious doorway leads to an endless maze of interconnected rooms where time bends and reality feels just slightly wrong, the fear isn't just getting lost...

It's the feeling that something is waiting for you.

Directed by Kane Parsons in a stunning feature debut, Backrooms has become a 2026 horror sensation, earning praise for being as mesmerising as it is terrifying.

Some doors are closed for a reason.

🎟️ Enter the Backrooms at The Mayfair... if you dare.

👽🌎 Today is DISCLOSURE DAY 🌎👽
At 🩷🖤 The Mayfair 🖤🩷

If someone proved we weren't alone... what would happen next?

Not a rumour. Not a blurry photo. Not a conspiracy theory.

Proof.

This summer, the truth belongs to eight billion people.

Disclosure Day reunites legendary director Steven Spielberg with longtime collaborator David Koepp for a gripping, thought-provoking blockbuster that asks one simple question: what would our world look like if humanity learned, beyond all doubt, that alien life exists?

Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth, and featuring the 30th collaboration between Spielberg and the incomparable John Williams, this is big-screen cinema in every sense of the word 🚀✨

Mysterious, thrilling and packed with wonder, Disclosure Day is too big to watch anywhere else.

🎟️ See it now at The Mayfair.
