DVD Reviews of Rose Red
DVD Review: Rose Red
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen it before but I fell a sleep and missed a lot. I've finally received it and watch. Guess what fell a sleep again. I know which part I missed. So, I know which content to search. And finally which part I missed and figure it all out in the film. This was a great movie and scary. Stephen King is an excellent writer. I know I will watch it again and again.DVD Review: I Love This Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Stephen King movie by far! I remember watching it as a 3 night mini-series some years ago and fell in love with it. All of the characters' personalities are strong and make this movie interesting. I also do not think it's a "cheesy ghost movie," like some have said. The hauntings are unique and intriguing. DVD Review: Rose Red (2002)-Not very original for a Steven King story
Summary: 4 Stars
Rose Red (2002) was not very original for a Steven King story. I enjoyed it to the tune of four stars but the reason is that I am an easy mark for almost any haunted house story. King stated during the documentary that he wanted to make the ultimate haunted house film. In order to make this the definative haunted house movie Steven King recycled some old ideas and lines from Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, and his own work in THE SHINING (and probably others that I am not aware of).
I am certain many fans recognized the plot elements and lines from THE HAUNTING including: The house is coming alive; Some houses are born bad (which was credited) and the basic idea of the plot which assumed that psychics would serve as a catalyst to the old house. I did enjoy this film and the only thing I was really upset with was the many very long lingering shots of the moody sets and CGI images of Rose Red which I think were only used to fill up the six hours of air time. Special effects were very good for a made for TV movie.
DVD Review: Mystery Lover
Summary: 5 Stars
Red Rose is a wonderful follow-up for the Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. I have both tapes and have enjoyed them immensely. DVD Review: Good if you like haunted house movies
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll admit straight-out, this is not the best or highest budget haunted house movie you could see. But what it does have in spades is ambiance that give the abstract foreboding feeling that a haunted house should. There's no direct sense of how exactly the house is evil, just that it perturbs, distorts, and manipulates it's inhabitants into insanity through visions and hallucinations. That, and the house expands *itself* infinitely (easy to get lost in and no one knows the count of the rooms). This is the cause of everyone's death through Rose Red (I'm sure you saw this one coming).
EG - One person sees statues moving and has a heart attack. He would have survived if he could get into the house, but all the doors and windows are mysteriously locked. The only person who sees him is convinced that he is a hallucination (due to the house OD'ing everyone on them), and refuses to submit to it. Meanwhile, the woman who brought this psychic group there is too obsessed with the house (it is a pretty bad@$$ English Manor) to let a pesky thing like death get in the way of her studies of it, namely of the super-psychic kid who eventually tames the house. Pretty cool overall.
Pros :
- Cool house
- Cool story
- Detailed
Cons :
- Long (4+ hours)
- Low production values for a movie (made for tv, but still decent)
- Some annoying acting
Description of Rose Red
The chilling tale of Dr. Joyce Reardon, an obsessed psychology professor who commissions a team of psychics and a gifted 15-year-old autistic girl, Annie Wheaton, to literally wake up a supposedly dormant haunted mansion, Rose Red. Their efforts unleash myriad spirits and uncover horrifying secrets.On regular television, punctuated by frenetic commercials, the leisurely pace of the horror miniseries Rose Red probably felt grueling; but on its own terms, the effect is like settling into a long book full of detail--a book not unlike those of Stephen King, who wrote the script. The story (about a researcher into the paranormal who takes a team of psychics into a haunted house) recycles themes that King has used before--a telekinetic girl, a house with its own consciousness--but for his fans, the familiarity is probably comfortable and even enjoyable. The cast (including Nancy Travis, Julian Sands, and Melanie Lynsky from Heavenly Creatures) give committed performances, and the special effects are television-grade but used pretty well. Most of it doesn't make much sense, but at its best Rose Red is absurd and creepy at the same time. --Bret Fetzer
