‘Red Rooms’ Review: Karlovy Vary Int’l Film Festival Presents Disturbingly Brilliant Psychological Horror

Experience the unseen and the obscene in Pascal Plante’s brilliantly disturbing psychological horror, Red Rooms. This film takes the overused genre of serial killer movies and combines it with dark Lynchian surrealism to create something entirely new and original. Prepare yourself for a thrilling ride that defies expectations and leaves a lasting impact.

The story begins with Kelly-Anne, a young woman who finds herself caught up in a courtroom drama unlike any other. As the trial of Ludovic Chevalier, known as The Demon of Rosemont, unfolds, the true nature of his crimes is revealed. These brutal murders were not only committed, but they were also broadcasted live on the dark web for a paying audience. The shocking and disturbing details of these crimes will leave you on the edge of your seat.

But not everything is as it seems. Despite the overwhelming evidence against Chevalier, there are those who doubt his guilt. Kelly-Anne, on her second day at the trial, meets Clémentine, a murder groupie who believes the videos were faked. Together, they form an unlikely alliance that will challenge their perceptions of justice and morality.

As the trial progresses, the tension builds, and the truth becomes increasingly elusive. Kelly-Anne’s presence in the courtroom raises questions about her involvement and motives. Is she holding the key to unraveling the mystery, or is she complicit in the crimes herself? The answers to these questions will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew.

Throughout the film, Plante expertly weaves together themes of identity, desire, and the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator. Kelly-Anne’s modeling career and her involvement in the world of BDSM add layers of complexity to her character, making her both intriguing and unsettling. As the story unfolds, we are drawn deeper into her psyche, and the consequences of her actions become increasingly apparent.

With its gripping performances and haunting visuals, Red Rooms is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Plante’s masterful storytelling and attention to detail create an immersive experience that will leave you questioning the nature of evil and the depths of human depravity.

Don’t miss your chance to witness this captivating and thought-provoking film. Red Rooms is sure to become a cult classic and a must-see on the genre circuit. Get ready for a nightmarish journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche.
