Trailer For IFC’s Serial Killer Thriller ‘Snowtown’
Now going by The Snowtown Murders (review), Justin Kurzel’s chilling thriller arrives in limited theaters March 2 from IFC Films.
The company has released the official theatrical trailer for the true-crime story about a teenager who finds his world threatened by both his loyalty for, and fear of, his newfound friend, John Bunting, Australia’s most notorious serial killer.
“the film follows Elizabeth Harvey (Louise Harris), a mother raising her three boys in a poor suburb. After her latest boyfriend displays pedophilic tendencies, she takes up with a new man, hoping for security but instead welcoming an even more vicious predator into her home. John Bunting (Daniel Henshall) is the moral compass of a self-appointed neighborhood watch who, fueled by cigarettes and beer, cast judgments on those living around them. Bunting enlists his crew in acts of sadistic vigilantism on those he considers deviants, and in the process takes Elizabeth’s son Jamie (Lucas Pittaway) under his wing.”
In the wake of this past weekend’s extended “Everything Must Go Edition,” which features 16 minutes of extra bonus footage from Kane Parsons after the movie, A24’s Backrooms is headed home soon, and A24 has dropped one more little treat ahead of the Digital release.
A24 has officially uploaded a video to YouTube titled “1 Hour of Backrooms Ambience,” and it’s probably pretty self explanatory by the title alone. The video no-clips you back into the Backrooms for an hour-long ambient experience, offering up the perfect spooky vibes to fall asleep to or keep running in the background while you go about your work day.

From A24 and director Kane Parsons, Backrooms is the second highest grossing horror movie of 2026, scaring up an incredible $349.7 million at the worldwide box office to date.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire. One night, he discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
