Summary: I love this movie
Review: I love this movie. I love Stephen King. I heard about this movie, but I didn't see it until this past summer. My brother and I watched it almost once everyweek this summer. I went and bought it because I knew it was something that I needed in my collection. If you like to be scared, then this movie is for you. If you like this, then you should read the book that goes with it. The diary of Ellen Rimbauer, My life at Rose Red.

Summary: Don' Expect to Be too scared...
Review: 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!!

Summary: The tame side of the tame side of creepy
Review: I am a big fan of Stephen King's writing and watched Rose Red for this reason. As a scary movie, it was disappointing, it had a kind of nostalgic feeling back to the days when scary was a sudden breeze or a withered hand suddenly touching your shoulder. Scary has moved on, this movie however has not, not creepy in the slightest. Only recommended for die-hard King fans and the pre-pubescent.

Summary: Best King Mini-series in a LONG TIME
Review: Rose Red has to be one of the best "King" mini-series I have sen in a long time. Good story, thrilling and edge of the seat suspence through the entire series. "IT" was a bomb, boring and dull, no where near as thrilling as the book. "The Stand" was good, but none of these compare to "Rose Red". Rose Red along with "Storm of the Century" both awesome movies, great suspense and thrilling to watch. I highly recommend "Rose Red" to any one who loves horror,thriller movies. This is bound to become a Stephen King Classic.

Summary: Scary!
Review: I sat down to watch this one night and I was simply GLUED to the TV through all of it. The first half contained minimal gore and death, and yet I felt that it was probably the scarier than the second! Everything about the movie was just done so well, it had me at the edge of my seat. The way the house was set up rivaled that of the house in 13 ghosts, and little Annie Wheaton was perfect. It's been a long time since a movie creeped me out, so if you're a big horror fan i would definitely reccomend this movie.

Summary: Combo of Bentley Little and 13 Ghosts.
Review: Truly this movie reminded me of a book I read by Mr. Bentley Little called "The House" and of the movie "13 ghosts" except that it was a lot better, had a lot more interesting characters and the suspense level was at Threatcon Delta throughout. The house is super cool, not only haunted but alive, just waiting for a chance to absorb (a nice way of putting it) it's next victim. An old covenant has sealed the house's fate to the first lady of the house, who is, of course, now long since dead. The tension mounts, you find yourself turning up the volume, maybe throwing on the eyeglasses to see a bit better, but maybe you will hide your eyes instead at the scariest parts, maybe you will begin to notice creepy things out of place in your own house, things moved around, or were they always there? I will allow you to decide, but while you are deciding, and before you go upstairs tonight, did you really leave that closet door open?
Stephen King - Many thanks, I don't know how you keep doing it, but please keep doing it.

Summary: Not King's best, but far from his worst.
Review: It's good to see Stephen King getting back to what he does best, writing really deep, scray stories. Rose Red is a tale that could have easily made for Stephen Kings best novel since Needful Things, but instead he decided to write Rose Red as a screenplay (by request of Stephen Speliberg was orignally going to direct it), had Speliberg directed Rose Red we may have gotten the best horrow film in a decade, but that didn't happen. Instead we got another six hour mini-series, scaled back for a TV audience to a PG-13 rating. And this is where the downfall begins. The special effects are excellent (high-budget quality), the acting is for the most part good, but the director made decisions for the last hour of the movie and the story really winds down way too quick without much resolve. Long story short (because although I only give it 3 stars I do recommend you see this one) this mini-series is good, possibly Stephen Kings best, up till the end, then it kind of falls apart for a quick resolution. I think another hour would have done it justice. Now on to the DVD specifics. Rose Red is mastered in DD 5.1 (so it sounds great) and this alone will be incentive enough for some of you to pick up, but the bonus features aren't bad either. We have the making of Rose Red (which is kind of slow) and then the 30-minute ABC speical on the Diary Of Ellen Rimbrauer, which serves to help promote the book of the same name (one of two tie-in fiction publications (products) that came out prior to the mini-series.

Summary: Read the book!
Review: The book was great. The movie is too long and boring. Bears little resemblence to the book. Don't bother
