How the Cyber-Thriller ‘Red Rooms’ Became a Cult Classic Before It Was Ever Released

The film stars Juliette Gariépy as Kelly-Anne, a Quebecois fashion model who moonlights as an online poker stud and internet snoop obsessed by the trial of serial killer Ludovic Chevalier (played by Maxwell McCabe-Lokos). He’s on trial for murdering several teenage girls and broadcasting their grisly deaths and dismemberments in so-called “red rooms” on the dark web. Kelly-Anne sleeps on the courthouse steps in order to get a good seat for the proceedings every morning. She’s joined by another “groupie,” Clémentine (Laura Babin), whose interest in Chevalier is more clearly sycophantic.
