Red Rooms

An interesting amalgam of character study and courtroom drama, two distant filmmaking styles that synchronically procreate this unique blend, which attempts to elaborate on the concepts of corruptive transgression.

I love how the protagonist was put in a position that could be questioned from a moral point of view but cannot be labeled as good or bad, as her desultory conscience, rather the decisions she makes, places her in a sheath of ambiguity.

Once the film ends and the credits start to roll, all you will be thinking about whether Kelly Anne stood for the right or for the wrong; did she give in and surrender to her deviant infatuation? Or did she finally experienced feelings of guilt and overcome her unhealthy obsession?

I adore it when movies leave questions for the audience to ponder on and "Red Rooms" left aplenty to think about.

Was pleasantly surprised after randomly catching this film on Crave. Sound design and cinematography are both superb; very moody atmosphere is developed, which does an excellent job at enhancing the aura the script evokes. From the startling glance by the accused to the gorgeous shots of the city, both elements were exceptional, great in the LUT department as well.

The acting is also commendable by all involved, particularly the main actress. I see some reviews saying she was one-dimensional or lacking in emotion, but I found that she really pulled off a mysterious and almost sociopathic vibe very well. Quick mention to wardrobe, which was also great here.

A few minor qualms with the script, I felt that there could have been a bit more depth in the development between the two main female characters, but then again I think that would have also been a tricky balancing act.

Overall, I can highly recommend this to anyone who has a penchant for thrillers with elements of horror, but this film shows that you can accomplish the horror part very well without being graphic or obscene.

Elegantly haunting, this film takes a refreshing angle on the serial killer genre and elevates it via subtlety and a sharp, slow knife.

Kelly-Anne is a mysterious lead, as we are taken into her strange and unique world of glamour, gambling, obsession and psychopathy. Accompanied by a fellow, more innocent, 'fan', the two decide to go to the trial of a suspected monster each day out of a morbid sense of curiosity.

There are mesmerising little avenues this film meanders down to keep you gripped, but it's almost impossible to predict the finale. It's a truly refreshing, if gently horrific, take on the dark thriller, as it turns out that it's not just the ones with the blade to look out for, it's also the ones with a keyboard.

This is cerebral, clever, and it is at its scariest when it's at its most direct. This is a film that will stay with you for quite a while. If you want a cheap thrill, don't bother - but if you want something that pushes boundaries in a 'less is more' kind of way - give this a go. Just don't say I didn't warn you ...

Les chambres rouges.

A model becomes obsessed with a high-profile murder trial.

Red rooms is a psychological horror and thriller that gets darker in twisted way, the story is interesting and I love courtdrama films but this one felt unique and different a little with an up-to-date case about the dark web, so it really was a very interesting experience.

This movie excelled to picture the dark story of Kelly-Anne especially the atmosphere, most of the scenes were at night and it really served the movie.

This one shouldn't fly under the radar, it's one of the year's best, unfortunately it was released late in the year and it just didn't get the amount of appreciation it deserves.

This was right up my alley as it combined two of my obsessions; serial killers and computers.

A young model with a resemblance to a murdered teenage girl attends the trial of the suspected murderer. She meets a fellow courtroom enthusiast and they a join the maddening crowds at the spectacle.

The suspect is kept in a room within the courtroom and he is kept behind glass.

The model is an internet geek and soon learns of the dark web where supposed snuff films are available at auction for the right price. She hacks her way into that world in order to uncover the missing video of one of the victims.

Red Rooms is a realistic portrayal of the dangers of modern technology.
