It doesn’t feel bone chillingly cold outside tonight for a change.

Pasta bake for dins, had some frozen leftover meat sauce and making the meal more interesting by adding lots of cheese and baking.

Red Rooms (2024) movie review

A French Canadian psychological thriller (horror?)

A story about a woman’s obsession with an extremely disturbing murder trail. The accused is a man who tortures and kills young girls while live streaming on the dark web.

It’s a hideous and creepy pretext for a horror movie, however there is absolutely no gore, or jump scare, or boogie man under the bed.

It’s a story about Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariépy). A very smart and attractive woman whose entire life starts to revolve around this trail and her fascination with the killer, the victims family, other serial killer groupies and true-crime junkies.

She is cold, calculated, and technically proficient. A cross between Patrick Bateman and Lisbeth Salander.

In the end, Kelly-Anne is able to facilitate some modicum of justice, but at a sadistic cost. The real mystery here is not the killer in the courtroom but what Kelly-Anne’s motivations are.

This isn’t a movie with clear answers and that might turn people off. It’s a slow burn. It’s ambiguous.

And I’m still thinking about it.

Little miss was crying today and I was concerned. But I forgot to block off the chair seat and the second I turned my back she was up there. She’s going to be jarring her joints jumping up and down from that!

Could it be she’s okay, and is just crying because she wants extra wet food and to get up on furniture she’s not supposed to?

I take it all very seriously at her age though.
