Red Red Rooms, Stay Close To Me-ee-ee


Heads-up that one of my favorite movies from last year's Fantasia Film Fest is hitting some theaters today -- Quebecois director Pascal Plante's serial-killer-thriller Red Rooms is hitting 50-ish screens in the big cities and you can check this link to see if it's near you. Also you can read my review of the film right here, and I posted the trailer -- which quoted yours truly! -- right here. I haven't seen the movie since last July when I reviewed it and there's been so much good writing on the film hitting this week -- specifically I liked this piece and then this piece -- that I really want to watch it again myself. It does such interesting things with the genre, finding brand new and exciting ways to make your jaw drop in the face of any cynicism you might hold toward the over-worked and oft under-self-contemplative genre. A really fascinating spin on all of it, looking at the dark recesses of humanity through our true crime obsessions. Big recommend!
