At the Zurich Summit, Deadline reports, Backrooms director Kane Parsons said he does not view the film as a horror project despite its internet-horror roots and marketing. The comment is about creative intent; it does not erase the genre label used by audiences and distributors.
Fanpage reports that Sara Bronzini, eliminated at the X Factor 2026 auditions, says the broadcast omitted her response to judge Irama. Her account is a participant's claim about the edit, not independent proof of why the sequence was shortened.
