It was announced this afternoon that Oni Press’ (Whiteout) graphic novel The Last Call, which was created by Vasilis Lolos, is being developed as a live-action feature for Universal Studios. Evan Spiliotopouli (20th Century Fox’s ‘The Box’) is adapting. While out on a midnight drive, two friends – Alec and Sam – are hit by the “Ghost Train,” an inter-dimensional soul carrier. They wake up to discover themselves stuck on the train with no way out and no ticket, which is a problem when the conductor comes around. As they desperately search for an escape, the boys uncover clues that lead them deeper into the train’s musty cabins and into the path of a killer! Read on for the cover art of and a 38-page preview of the graphic novel.

After a massively successful box office run that scared up $364 million (and counting) at the worldwide box office, Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is now available on Digital at home.
You can either digitally rent or digitally purchase the A24 horror film on outlets including Amazon Prime, and it’ll cost you $19.99 for the rental and $24.99 for the purchase.
As for the extended 16-minutes of footage that were included with the recent theatrical event Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition, Parsons promises it’s coming online.
The extra footage is expected to hit the Kane Pixels YouTube channel this week.
The sixteen minutes of “Everything Must Go” footage essentially plays out like a new episode of Kane Parsons’ Backrooms YouTube series. You can read all about it right here.
No word yet on a physical release for Backrooms. Stay tuned.
Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who 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 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.
