Red Rooms
The allure of the serial killer is explored in this deeply unsettling and unforgettable exploration of the impact of extreme violence.
Director: Pascal Plante
Overview
Ludovic Chevalier stands accused of murdering three teenage girls and broadcasting their deaths across the dark web. Amongst the ravenous press and bereft family members attending the trial, a lone woman watches the case unfold with an obsessive vigilance. With its focus on the psychological effect of violence rather than the acts themselves, Pascal Plante’s compelling cyber-thriller wisely steers clear of the sensational but remains a profoundly disturbing work.
