>> Migrating here to this version of filmmaking under the sort of Hollywood notion,
if you want to call it that, I think feels
like I I have an engine for what I do.
>> Backrooms is based on Parsons' YouTube horror series about a furniture store owner who finds a secret doorway that leads him to an endless stretch of nondescript rooms.
>> If this is what we can expect from young filmmakers, like we are in for some good movies.
>> It's not just Backrooms generating massive appeal for the Gen Z crowd.

>> Obsession, another low-budget horror film also directed by a YouTube star,
has taken in more than $104 million, posting three consecutive weekends of growth, the first non-Christmas release to enjoy such a streak since Jaws in 1975.
And earlier this year, Iron Lung, a horror movie from YouTube star Markiplier, brought in more than $50 million on a $4 million budget.
