A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Patrick Cremona

The voyeuristic impulse to pore over true crime is interrogated to chilling effect in this expertly crafted and frighteningly relevant psychological horror from French-Canadian film-maker Pascal Plante. It follows Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariépy), a model who has developed a morbid fascination with a man accused of broadcasting the barbaric torture and murder of teenage girls on the dark web. As Kelly-Anne dispassionately watches his trial, Gariépy turns in a first-rate performance, keeping her character's motivations inscrutable even as the sordid extremes of her troubling behaviour become increasingly apparent. There are shades of George Sluizer's The Vanishing (1988) to Plante's cold yet riveting presentation of pure evil, with the film serving asan updated look at the darkest depths of the human psyche in the age of the internet. Meanwhile, Dominique Plante's terrific score elevates the already oppressive atmosphere, with the use of music in one key courtroom scene especially spine-tingling. Crucially, Red Rooms also avoids steering into exploitation territory - all the more effective for its refusal to show the heinous acts of violence outright.
