Product Description:
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.Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent.Release Date: 05/22/2007Starring: Nancy Travis David DukesRun time: 254 minutesRating: Pg13
Amazon.com:
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

- Rose Red (2002)-Not very original for a Steven King story
Rose Red (2002) was not very original for a Steven King story. I enjoyed it to the tune of four stars but my only reason is that I am a sucker for haunted house stories. King stated he wanted to make the ultimate haunted house movie.In order to make this the definative haunted house film Steven King recycled some ideas and lines from Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, and his own work in THE SHINING.
I am certain many fans recognized the plot elements and lines ... Read More

Red Rose is a wonderful follow-up for the Diary of Ellen Rimbauer.I have both tapes and have enjoyed them immensely.
Rating: - Good if you like haunted house movies
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 ...
