Red Rooms18

Directed by Pascal Plante | Canada | 2023 | 1h 58m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Juliette Gariépy, Laurie Babin, Maxwell McCabe-Lokos, Dominique Côté, Elisabeth Locas

Obsessed with the trial of a suspected serial killer, a young woman becomes increasingly entangled in the dark, digital undercurrents surrounding his crimes. Pascal Plante’s Red Rooms is a chilling, meticulously controlled study of voyeurism, online extremity, and the seductive pull of violence. Coolly executed and deeply unnerving, it reflects a contemporary anxiety about spectatorship in the internet age.

Reviews

‘It’s rare to feel the tension built inside a theater to the point where everyone is holding their breath, but Red Room is a unique movie that defies expectations and keeps pulling the audience deeper into the dark abysm of human nature.’
★★★★★ Marco Vito Oddo, Collider

‘Red Rooms is a striking and austere examination of the true-crime industrial complex that benefits from its formality and disturbingly removed protagonist’
★★★★ Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
