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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rose Red Riviting
Rose Red
'Rose Red' was a good story without all the spooks and goblins of Halloween.
The placement of the story, and it's surroundings, looked more realistic and less ridiculess (unbelieveable) than most spook movies. I enjoyed it.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - "Emmers!!!"
The Good Things
*A few neat, somewhat creepy special effects.
*It's pretty well-filmed.
*Some good lines.
*Some interesting ideas.
*Good usage of the setting.

The Bad Things
*Some parts are totally ridiculous.
*Other parts are just plain weird or convoluted.
*I really couldn't care much for these characters.
*This whole story reminds me too much of "The Shining."

For Stephen King, "Rose Red" is one of the weaker titles ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Scary but haven't we seen this plot before??..........
After watching this movie, I have more or less given up trying to find a really, really good Stephen King story brought to film - The Shining is by far the best. The plot of this one has been seen before. This one is just cheap chills and thrills and not much else. I found this movie in the 5.00 DVD bin at Wal-Mart. You most definitely get what you pay for. Mr. Stephen King: how about something really original that doesn't just go on and on and on - but really has a great plot, great chills - and when ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Retread of old stuff
I just saw this mini-series on the Sci-Fi channel. I grew up reading Stephen King--I used to read all his stuff. But he reached his pinnacle about 2O or more years ago. "It" and "The Talisman" (written with Peter Straub) were the last of his great novels. Although I rarely read him anymore, I thought this miniseries looked interesting. But it turned out to be a cross between Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" an the real story of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, where ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Flick
This is a really fantastic effort by all concerned. The house is absolutely amazing. I'd love to live there, without all of the strange goings on, of course. It's a shame we lost David Dukes. He did a bang-up job.

Incidentally, I believe that Stephen King appeared as the man who delivered the pizza to Rose Red. Does anyone else think that King was in the film?
