Want a film that punches you in the gut and then dares you to try and look away? Consider Red Rooms, an unnerving psychological thriller and courtroom drama that will likely leave you reeling. The SIFF 2024 film dives into the dark web’s underbelly and the digital age’s fascination with true crime. It follows model and amateur sleuth Kelly-Anne (played by Juliette Gariépy) and her obsession with a gruesome murder trial of three young girls. As Kelly-Anne goes down the rabbit hole of serial killer fandom, the lines of her reality start to blur. Juliette Gariépy’s performance as the poker-faced, morally ambiguous beauty is outstanding. Red Rooms‘ sleek style, tight camera work, and pulsing score had me levitating by the time its credits rolled.

(Note: The violence is implied and not shown, but the subject matter is disturbing.)
