Red Rooms

Simple start to the movie: a woman heads to a courthouse to watch a murder trial of a convicted killer of 3 young girls. The movie is mostly about why she is there and what her motives are. The main character, Kelly-Ann, is a highly intelligent, stoic, mostly emotionless model in Montreal, Canada. She is a wiz with computers and an expert poker player. She plays online poker to make money on top of her modeling job. Most of the movie's runtime she spends going ot the courthouse to watch a murder trial. I won't give anyhting away, but she isn't just going for curiosity as she claims.

The movie is a critique of true crime junkies and groupies of serial killers that claim they are innocent even when all the evidence points to their guilt. There are a lot of theories about the main character's motives and why she does what she does. There are some things the director has said about the main character that a lot of people have talked about. He has said that the main character is very much on the sociopathic end of the spectrum. There’s a term, hybristophilia, which describes people who are literally turned on by horrible crimes.

I find it interesting that he says this because Kell-Ann has empathy, and they don't show her really getting turned on by crimes; she comes across ot me more like someone who must solve crimes ot prove she is smarter than detectives. I would say she enjoys true crime and watching horrible crimes as a hobby, as they don't disturb her like a more…

Love the quality of these cases & discs.

Merci

A very good thriller about the horrors of the Dark Web, with a surprising twist at the end.

Good
