Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture This picture about people obsessed with criminals and their grisly crimes confronts us with the mystery of who the obsessives truly are. Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) I have to warn that you may need to be a little twisted to love this film... Definitely the most tense I've felt in a long time. I can't recommend it high enough. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety The coolly controlled film unsettles with a kind of diseased psychological atmosphere -- hewing not from the mindset of the accused so much as the parasitical sickness that makes spectators obsess over his kind. Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Alise Chaffins MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack) in one of the film's most powerful moments, we hear the violence, but all we see are the reactions of those watching it. It is an incredibly effective use of sound and visuals while avoiding the precise kind of voyeurism that the film is speaking about. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Will Bjarnar Geek Vibes Nation Plante never relieves his audience of the dread his film consumes them with; it would actually be more appropriate to say that he continues to up the ante as the film continues, the temperature of its unease forever threatening to reach its boiling point. Rated: 7.5/10 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Derrick Murray This is For Reel Red Rooms is an assured piece of cinema - one that starts off simple enough and slowly but surely delves deeper and deeper into places and worlds we’d rather not see.

Mr. Hollywood An effective thriller. Not much happens but it happens in an interesting way. Good cinematography, acting and pace. Will be disturbing but its worth the watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Tom B. A compelling. well-told story about true crime obsession, even one apparently well-intentioned. Well cast, well acted, well written. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Thomas S Too long and too boring. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Gary G For a movie of the "dark side of humanity" genre this was a good one. I'd like to think the best of the main characters intentions at the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Wee B Tough subject. Good film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Horror L Don’t Go Into This Expecting Horror — You’ll Be Disappointed Do not go into this movie thinking it’s a horror film — it’s not. Despite any marketing or promotional suggestions, this film lacks fear, tension, and any of the disturbing visuals or psychological weight that define the genre. The only scary thing here is how much the film relies on the viewer’s imagination to create the horror that it refuses to show. From start to finish, this is a slow, uneventful movie. There's no twist, no big reveal, and very little payoff for all the buildup. The protagonist, who we follow for the entire runtime, is emotionless — not in a mysterious or unsettling way, but simply dull. And when the film eventually confirms what we already know, she’s a sociopath, it feels like a non-event rather than a revelation. Much of the film’s energy goes into describing the brutality of the murders, but when it comes time to show anything, the movie pulls back entirely. No visuals, no disturbing imagery — just screams and the sound of machinery. It leaves all the work to the viewer's imagination, not as a creative decision, but more as a shortcut. This film ends up being incredibly disappointing. It lacks substance, stakes, and emotional weight. If you're a fan of crime thrillers or slow-burn dramas, you might find something here to appreciate. But if you’re a horror fan who enjoys impactful twists, haunting stories that linger, or even just a compelling narrative worth discussing — this movie won’t deliver. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
