Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily. Today is Wednesday, Septembercom and I'm joined on today's episode by slash

film critic Chris Evangelista.

Hi.

All right, Chris, we haven't really been doing or reading much, so let's jump right into what we've been watching. I watched a movie called

Red Rooms that I think technically was released last year but is getting a

theatrical release in the United States this year and it's written and directed by this person named Pascal Plant.

I'm going to try to describe what this is about,

and then I'm curious what you think about this,

because I know that you actually wrote a review of this movie for slash film.

I'm going to link to that in the show notes.

I purposely did not read your review because I wanted to talk to you about this movie before I

sort of spoiled myself about your thoughts about it. So the film is set in Montreal

and it's centered on the trial of a guy

who is accused of committing horrific murders

of three teenage girls and live streaming their deaths to buyers on the dark web.

And there's video proof of the crimes, but the guy's wearing a mask so you can't clearly see the killer's face so there's this big trial

that captures the attention of the whole country and the main characters are these

two women who wake up really early every day to attend the trial and they sit in the audience and just watch all of this play out.

It's obvious why one of them, who's named Clementine, is there, because she's a basically like a fan girl of the accused killer and she thinks that he's innocent and maybe she's even in love with this guy from afar. It's kind of tough to say, but she's definitely like obsessed with him in a pretty unhealthy way.

The much more interesting character, I think, is the character of Kelly Ann, who is a professional

fashion model.

She's a high stakes poker player and she lives in this sleek high-rise apartment building and seems to have a pretty good life overall.
