Stephen King's Rose Red Reviews
LONG, MESSY, SOMETIMES POORLY ACTED, BUT FUN...
Rose Red is not, and was by no means intended to be, "Great Art." Yet this looooooong movie (originally a mini-series) hits its spots at the beginning and does not totally disintegrate by its end. This is good, creepy fun.
The three best things that this movie has going for it are (in descending order): the always beautiful and engaging Nancy Travis, the funny Stephen King cameo, and the winding prelude to the action of this movie.
So what if this movie does not pay off? As those who have read the Dark Tower have learned, the joy is in the journey.
This is a short review of a long film. To sum it up as quickly as I can--
Taken with the wonderful book (and somewhat less wonderful movie) The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, Rose Red is a massive chunk of creepy entertainment that is somehow pleasingly more than the sum of its parts.
Give this movie a look. I recommend it.
As a PS-
If you like this movie and have not yet read Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, then you should really give The Haunting of Hill House a try. If you don't like this movie, don't blame Shirley. Check out her book anyway. It's a classic.
Stephen Kings Rose Red.
I Bought The Movie RoseRed Due To Finding Out About The Movie
Made About My Great Great Grand Mother And Her House. I Did Some Digging About My Granmom And I Find It So Kool. I Thought The Movie Was Great, I Love Stephen King, I Have All His Books, And Movies, I Thought The Lady Who Played My Grand Mom Was A True Likeness And I Am Very Very Proud Of The Fact That This Is A True Story That He Wrote. Alot Of People Say Its Fiction Well Im A Rimbauer And Yes I Was Born In Seattle And Yes Its True About The House. My House In The U.K. Is Called RoseRed. So I Tell You Another A great Story From Stephen King. Thank You Stephen King. I Loved The Movie.
