Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
The leisurely pace of the horror miniseries Rose Red 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) gives 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Luxurious Horror, 10 Sep 2006
By Green Man Music "green-man-music" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Rose Red is the story of a vast, rambling, shape-shifting mansion with her own persona that has the nasty habit of "swallowing" visitors up in her apparently infinite rooms, and who are never seen or heard of again. A parapsychologist, driven to exasperation by the derision of her psychology department peers, sets out to recruit a team of psychics to prove beyonmd doubt that a haunting can be recorded scientifically.

A mini-series adapted into a two-disc DVD set, Rose Red actually plays out like a long movie. The production is sumptuous for a TV show, and in technical terms surpasses much of the other Stephen King stories that have been adapted into big screen films. The colourful characters, the elaborate sets inside the rambling old haunted house, and both the costumes and camera-work are all well done and frankly a joy to watch. The ghostly appearences are more in the brightly shining mode of the "Poltergeist" flms, but it's not the special effects that are the winners here.

The acting is really good from a cast portraying a highly eccentric group of ghostbusters paid to enter Rose Red, after twenty years of the house lying empty. From the deeply religious and goody-goody to the selfish and arrogant, the larger than life characters and their idiosynchracies provide the life of the story.

One of the most fascinating is the parapsychologist herself; at equally as eccentric as the rest of her team, she is a real enigma. Like many of the other strange characters, as the film picks up in its pace, one begins to doubt (or at least think about) what their true role and agenda is.

Although not in the gore-vein of horror, Rose Red is nevertheless a film of luscious creepieness with a strong cast and an engrossing story, which includes a history of the house's former occupants built up in flashbacks throughout. Well worth watching, whether you're a Stephen King fan or not.

By anne taylor (bangor, co down United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rose Red [VHS] [2001] (VHS Tape)
I absolutely loved this film and have watched it several times (will probably watch it several more). I found it really gripping and every time I watch it, it still makes me jump.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary as anything, 20 Feb 2004
I got this a while ago and only got around to watching it last night. I think that some Steven King books wont translate to film very well but some are just amazing. I have loved Steven King for a long long time now and own almost all his books.

This is by far one of the best Steven King films ever (Although it was a made for TV show) Buy it you wont regret it!
