ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

merridowell This is one of those things that have been done before but that King does in a way that you might not expect. Having read Shirley Jackson's book that this was inspired by, and knowing how King likes to play his movies/TV shows/mini series, I am still always amazed at how spooked out I get with Rose Red.It is long, but you won't regret it. Great acting, spooky house, and a creepy backstory make this one of my favorites. There are snarky comments, and for those die-hard King fans, references and similarities to other beloved stories. Enjoy!!!

kai ringler I watched this when it came on TV in 2002, watched it 3 times since then,, excellent mini-series/ movie.. Nancy Travis was just a joy to watch in this,, Julian Sands character was awesome to.. a paranormal expert working at a local college, has always been fascinated with the Rose Red Mansion,, apparently it's haunted and lot's and lot's of people have died there. she recruits several experts in the field of the paranormal to go on a haunted house tour of Rose Red to see if it's really haunted as the legend goes,, well they get to the house and all sorts of creepy things start to happen around them.. there is a little girl who can "wake up" the house,, lot's of characters cross paths with each other, and some don't like the little girl as well.. as our teacher slowly finds out what's going on,, some may see that she is starting to lose her mind and that the house is taking her,, I love the scenes, where the house Is turned upside down,, and you don't know which room you are in,, whether you are coming or going,, will definitely recommend this to any horror fan,, or SK fan.

grenouilleux This may sound silly but with my friend we just finished watching the long mini series and we don't understand how the women disappeared in the first place. Nothing is explained in the story, all we know is that they disappeared suddenly and mysteriously. What about the daughter April? How come she comes up as a zombie in the attic? How can there be a male heir when all the males in the family get killed every time?? The movie could have been great but it makes no sense. The end is very disappointing as we are left in limbos. what is the connection with Annie? How could the ghosts or zombies control her? How did the ghosts/zombies became that way? What happened to the daughter April? Was she murdered, kidnapped? I would appreciate if someone could answer all these puzzling questions. It's a shame there are so many inconsistencies.

MubukuGrappa First thing first: This "movie" is awful.Statutory Warning: Watching this may cause nausea, suffocation, self-loathing, regret, worthlessness, self-hatred, and other such symptoms.I watched many Mad TV skits making fun of stereotypical movies and TV shows, as well as many Hustler XXX video parodies of TV series. This excuse of a movie ()or TV series or whatever could have possibly been watchable as either of those, but as a full-length feature, this is absolutely horrible stuff! Horribly bad acting, never-ending story, pathetic dialogs, an exercise in triviality. Even before the trip begins, I could predict who all people will die, and who would possibly survive. My prediction was wrong only in the case of the heir; all others that I predicted would die, did die. My guess regarding the survivors also was correct.Does that mean that I'm a genius? Hell, no. I am just a lonely loser, who watched huge number of such trash, and so there is nothing even remotely new or unique about such work.This was torture porn for me. I mean, I was invited for a dinner at a colleague's place, and since I ran out on excuses (I had declined 2-3 earlier such invitations), I had to go. Her and mine tastes in films are mutually exclusive, and so when I arrived there and this movie was playing, I was rather sure that I was there for 90 minutes of pain and agony.I was wrong! I was to be tortured for 4 hours or so by a meaningless, painfully bad excuse of a movie. This movie is so bad that it does not even qualify for "so bad that it is good" category. It's like how Tyler Perry would make Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. I mean, why else would Nancy Travis be trying so hard to look and act serious in her role, while she possibly knew that she was the absolute wrong choice for it? Imagine, for example, Marlon Wayans, trying to act a Marlon Brando. That is what I am talking about.To make matters worse, I was surrounded by 3 enthusiastic people determined to watch it till the finis (even when I reminded that it would drag until 1-30 AM), and my colleague, the host, kept on mentioning how this was originally made as a TV documentary. Yes, she used the word "documentary", really. If this is documentary, then I am Rockefeller.I've nothing good to say about this movie or whatever, except for the fact that the food was good; she really cooked well. I lost 4 hours of my lie, and a Saturday evening watching this. I could have much more enjoyed sitting in my apartment all alone drinking cheap wine and watching COPS and Cheaters and all that trash!
