Ivy Wolk says she’s not part of the “Backrooms” cast, directly challenging a Letterboxd listing that names her as appearing in “Inbred Still Life.” She told followers she hasn’t seen the film and doesn’t know how the credit ended up there.
Ivy Wolk’s Saturday-night vibe didn’t stop her from checking something on Tuesday—at least not when she saw her name in the wrong place.
Wolk took to her Instagram Stories to address a cast listing on Letterboxd tying her to the YouTube-based horror sensation “Backrooms.” The platform’s listing shows her under “Inbred Still Life. ” but Wolk said flatly that she isn’t in “Backrooms” at all—and she doesn’t know why Letterboxd has her there.
“I’m not in back rooms. don’t know why letterboxd says I play ‘inbred still life,’” Wolk said on Instagram via her handle @wolkmindvirus2. She added: “Don’t know what this means cuz i haven’t seen it. can’t assess the shade levels.”
Wolk’s pushback lands in the middle of a “Backrooms” momentum surge. The film blew up at the box office over the weekend, bringing in $118 million globally and $81.4 million domestically—numbers that helped shape the weekend’s conversation across theaters.
The cast confusion also points to how easily movie credits can get scrambled online. The Movie Database, an internet service that crowdsources information from users, supplies the data Letterboxd pulls in for listings. That pipeline has led to similar errors before—like the inclusion of fan-made (and parody) posters in what was presented as the official poster selection lineup.
“Backrooms” includes multiple “Still Lifes,” living humanoid organisms that appear across the seemingly infinite “liminal rooms” of the story. The concept has its roots in YouTube short films. and it’s also referenced in the original internet image that helped spawn the IP. In that framework, one “Still Life” is described as the primary antagonist of the film.
As “Backrooms” continues to collect attention at the box office. Wolk’s denial is a reminder that the internet’s quickest credit can still be the one that isn’t real. She hasn’t seen the movie. she said. and she doesn’t understand the “inbred still life” claim showing up next to her name—leaving the mismatch to the platforms and the data that brought it there.
