Red Room (赤い密室(へや) 禁断の王様ゲーム, Akai misshitsu (heya): Kindan no ōsama gēmu) is a 1999 Japanese V-cinema (direct-to-video) horror film written and directed by Daisuke Yamanouchi.
[1] The film follows a group of four contestants (a husband and wife on the verge of divorce, a young corporate woman, and a 17-year-old schoolgirl) on a reality TV game show who are locked in the titular "Red Room" to torture each other, with the last person standing winning ten million yen.
