Red Rooms

A model as well as a computer hacker, Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariépy) becomes obsessed with the trial of an accused red room killer. Very intense film portraying obsession balanced by two women who have opposing positions on the trial. One a fan of the accused, one determined to prove he's guilty. Gariepy is magnetic as a character we find unknown and familiar. I never did decipher what her motivation was.

With subject matter as dark as its possible to get half of me wishes I had never watched this. The other half marvelled at the performances of the actors and the parade of grotesque characters. A twisted film of undeniable power.

Hypnotic and deeply unsettling. More of a dark drama thriller than a full-blown horror movie, but it nonetheless manages to be pretty disturbing and creepy.

film that disturbs the mind and soul.

I just don't get it. What's the point? If there is no point, why the movie? Perverted torture and snuff videos exist and are accessible on the so-called dark web? check. People watch them for reasons that, in some cases, are hard to learn or to understand? check. If this is a "thriller," sorry but there are no thrills. If it's a psychological quest, it goes nowhere and learns nothing. If it's some kind of arty movie that the author "just needed to make," then he can have it; why should I watch it? I just didn't get it.

I really didn't understand the point of this movie at all, and a lot of things that happened weren't clear.

Disturbing and mostly enjoyable movie. This is a French Canadian movie that follows a woman who becomes obsessed with the trial of a serial killer. There is a lot of mystery as it leaves vague her motives or exactly why she is obsessed. This obsession leads to troubling outcomes. The plot is a bit slow and requires attention so not a casual watch by any means but it is entertaining just because of the originality of the story.

Even with great acting, direction, and cinematography, all is wasted when the screenplay and storytelling fail so fundamentally. I had no desire to follow the main character through this film and stopped watching after 20 minutes.

An absorbing journey through obsessive pathology, heartwarming friendship, morbid fascination and class unity.

A twisted movie that is so effective because it seems so plausible. Beautifully hauntingly shot
