Movie Reviews of Rose Red
Movie Review: If you want a scare...watch Rose Red!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Rose Red on tv when it aired this past winter. Stephen King usually has unique, scary plots so I tuned in to see how Rose Red would be. All I can say is that I was scared to turn the lights off for about a week afterward. Just imagine staying in a mansion with a reputation for the people who have died in it. Added to that, there are people who have gone in but have never come out. The house is alive and feeds on the fears of those who dare to enter its doors. When a professor trying to establish herself in a university, collects several people with special powers in order to research this evil home, she does not realize the magnitude of its power. One by one the group gets smaller as each comes face to face with the evil that dwells within the walls of this massive house. With Stephen King's uncanny ability to allow us to identify with the strangest of characters, you will detest the jealous colleague,hate the whiney momma's boy, feel for the big sister of Annie, and feel drawn to Annie the little girl who can make Rose Red come alive. This is a must see. Rent it , buy it but don't miss it. It is wonderful. Definately a DVD worthy of my video library. I also recommend IT, The Stand, and The Green Mile.Movie Review: It is THE haunted house movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're going to watch just one haunted house movie, watch Rose Red. The whole story idea is woven together perfectly and the characters are incredible. It is a classic Steven King masterpiece, as you'll see by the twists he threw in to the movie. Rose Red has made me believe that houses are indeed alive and I now look at every house a little differently. The characters in this movies are all memorable, and it's easy to relate to at least one of them. They're typical people with extraordinary powers, chosen to go on a nearly suicidal expedition. Nick Hardaway (Julian Sands) is one of my all-time favorite movie characters, and I'm in severe denial about his demise in Rose Red. He is so charismatic and charming that it's hard not to love him. Even Emery Waterman (Matt Ross) is hard to hate, because after a while you just grow attached to him for some reason. Matt Ross said himself in an interview that "Emery's a character you hate, but hopefully you enjoy hating." Overall, this movie is great for Stephen King lovers. If anybody thinks it's too long, then watch it in segments or don't watch it at all. That's all there is to it. This story couldn't be told in a two-hour feature.Movie Review: Best ever work of Stephen King
Summary: 5 Stars
Rose Red is an amazing movie! The story is so realistic, between the movie and the book it is based upon, The Diary Of Ellen Rimbauer, I honestly can not tell if it is ficton or fact! I have not seen a movie of this calliber in a very long time, especially one that was meant for television, this movie is so good it should have been made into a feature film in theaters. The story is absolutely amazing, that keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing through the whole thing. It's a perfect movie for horror fans, as well as those who like to be scared, yet hate to be terrified.
The house used in the film and the set's are reason enough to watch the movie, yet there is also a completely brilliant cast, awsome story and a dvd with lot's of added features that again will keep you guessing whether or not the story actually happened!
I would and do reccomend this movie to everyone I meet! It is definately worth the price and although it is lengthy, you'll sit through the whole thing so concentrated on this amazing film that you'll never know how much time has actually gone by until it's over!
Movie Review: Don' Expect to Be too scared...
Summary: 5 Stars
yes i gave this 5 stars, this is for normal people like me who don't analyze everything again and again, i saw the minisereis on tv and ive watched it 2x since then, you can watch this movie without reading into it too far, if you do that then you'll be dissapointed, this movie has a definite charm and magic,a nd unlike everyone else who has written a review and only given it 3 stars i didn't look at this as a blank canvas for the critics. I thought that Annie was the main character not Joyce or stephen. Nancy travis was excellent in her role, and when i saw her on Becker a few weeks ago i kept seeing her as being really really whacked out, i think that King did an EXCELLENT job casting and writing this miniseries adn ANY one who even remotely likes King should definitly buy this dvd or vhs. and it's not too scary so its even ok for some younger children, i'd say 12 at youngest, my siser whatched it and wasn't too too scared and it was the first horror movie she had ever seen so its not that badf, not to say its tame becuase it is DEFINITLY NOT!!Movie Review: GREAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED this mini-series! When I invited some friends over one night, they went through my dvd stash and saw Rose Red. At first they said that it would probably be [bad] but watched it anyway. These people NEVER pay attention to a movie even for 1 hour, but they did for this one. They were actually even SCARED at some points and they NEVER get SCARED! (notice the sarcasm). Stephen King did a great job with this and i highly recommend! They also even did a great job with keeping the suspense by making it an EXPERIENCE rather than just a movie. About a month before this mini-series premiered, ABC showed a special about this supposedly haunted house and a woman who was going to explore it. This program was actually promotional and used to get people really feeling like this house actually exists (which it doesn't). They also made a "diary" of Ellen Rimbauer, the woman of the "house" at the time. Great movie...go out and buy it. It made me fear to go to sleep because of the "let's get it on" woman (you'll know if you watch):)
