Modern cinema often explores themes like crime, obsession, and the thin line between real life and digital fantasy. Yet, every once in a while, a film arrives that pushes these ideas further and forces viewers to face uncomfortable truths.
Red Rooms (2024), directed by Pascal Plante, is one such movie. This French psychological drama is now streaming on Prime Video and has become a major discussion point online. Many viewers are calling it one of the most disturbing films in recent years.
The film is not terrifying because of violence, but because of the intense psychological layers it explores. Audiences say it is hypnotic, chilling, and difficult to forget. It holds a mirror to society’s growing fascination with true crime and the dark side of online curiosity.
The story revolves around Kelly-Anne, who becomes deeply drawn into a high profile criminal case. Her growing obsession goes beyond the digital world and starts affecting her real life. The narrative highlights how digital anonymity can blur empathy and obsession.
Critics praise Plante’s direction and Juliette Gariépy’s unsettling performance. Many call Red Rooms disturbing yet necessary viewing, as it makes viewers reflect on how far human curiosity can go when protected by the internet. It is a film that stays with you long after it ends.
