Rating: Summary: A house of horrors. Review: This is an account of a diary, a real one this time. Yet it is not like one you would enjoy as it is so sordid. Ellen relates the deviant behavior she learns from her older, disreputable husband and her unhealthy relationship with her foreign maid.It also shows how a house is constructed against all odds and its deadly consequences. Murders occur which are never explained and people disappear. I want to think that this is a true story, but how could a well brought up woman write such filth? It is not easy to read unless you want voyeur feelings into the lower life of the very rich and the things they can get away with.
Rating: Summary: Creepy, freaky, and everything in between; Review: Ridley Pearson, not Stephen King wrote it. Rose Red is really Thornewood Castle. The background story of the "Diary" is here: http://www.thornewoodcastle.com/tnt10.htm It is a beautiful place, and the movie crew did an excellent job of restoring it to its original splendor. In any case, none of this "real life" information should detract from the enjoyment of a good ghost story.
