However, only two of the three videos were recovered by the police.
As Kelly-Anne searches for the missing snuff film, her obsession spirals into a psychological nightmare.
What is most fascinating about this film is how little of the tapes are shown.

Kelly-Anne is a very disturbed protagonist.
Kelly-Anne makes a friend at the trial who comes across as possibly worse.
These characters are so far removed from any actual pain, yet make this story their entire lives.

Anonymity is the central theme of the film, which fits into the commentary.
Clementine also does not seem to care about the victims until she sees the videos for herself.
Anonymity allows some fans of true crime to disassociate from empathy, and treat the truth as fiction.

The public reaction is also disturbing.
Kelly-Anne has no true friends, her family is never seen, and she does not have a partner.
However,Red Roomsrefuses to stray from this method.
They repeat this shot towards the end of the film, when Kelly-Anne is watching something.
It is a horrifying way to let the audience member’s imagination run wild with sadistic possibilities.
Red Roomsis available to buy or rent on Amazon.
