When the grandmother of the publicist Karin (Gina Phillips) dies, she inherits her property in the fields. She travels with her boyfriend Jeff (Randall Batinkoff) for the weekend, but she decides to stay along the week cleaning up the place and packing the stuffs. Karin has horrible nightmares and visions of ghosts of her past, while she stays in the house with the creepy housekeeper Pierce (Tom Sizemore) and her younger sister Wendy (Jenny Mollen).

"Ring Around the Rosie" has a non-sense, absurd, confused and unintelligible screenplay. The motives and actions of Karin, who behaves like a moron in spite of being a successful publicist, are never well explained. It seems that she had a traumatic experience in the house many years ago, and when she returned, she recalled and lived it again, blending nightmares with reality, but the director Rubi Zack was never able to explain the story. It seems also that each one of the four writers wrote one part of the story, but they forgot to interact and put the ideas together. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "O Mistério de Rosie" ("The Mystery of Rosie")

The plot lacks substantial development of character history or resolution of ideas. It has a sudden abrupt ending I saw coming a mile away, but lacked substance and leaves many questions vital to the plot unanswered. To discuss more would reveal spoilers.

I guess one would have to read the book to understand what actually happens... I seams as if the true story was discarded and stomped all over to get some cheap thrills in. The thrills, BTW are not too believable or exciting.

The only good thing I have to say is Sizemore is creepy as hell. Otherwise the acting is completely unbelievable.

"Original" musical scores blatantly composed to sound as if from "The Grudge" and "The Ring" so much so that one has to wonder if plagiarism just occurred. I was fooled into thinking it was the same composer from "The Ring". I see from the message boards I am not alone in this opinion.

I am so disappointed I wasted my time on this movie. The trailer proved to be more exciting. Don't waste your money.

This has to be the stupidest, incoherent bunch of crap ever to waste 90 minutes of my life! Absolutely worthless! Obviously, Tom Sizemore was hired as a "name", which after his problems with Heidi Fleiss and drugs, he hardly is anymore. But, this drivel needed every chance it could get.

It's like the six, yes that's six, writers really couldn't agree on a plot, so they just kind of threw everything together.

Don't waste your time. Trust me, when it is over, you will be scratching your head saying, "What the f***?" If you want a really scary, atmospheric movie, just rent "The Ring" again! And as someone pointed out in the forums, this movie actually ripped off music from "The Ring" and "The Grudge" - Two completely superior movies.

i rented this movie last night hoping for a scary movie, something that would keep me entertained, and maybe i have watched too many scary movies and have become desensitized but this movie was bordering on hilarious rather than hair-standing-on-end scary. and i just didn't get it, nothing tied in together. this movie just provided you with a bunch of shots about a girl hallucinating and then in the end didn't explain any of it, and then added another ending scene that just seemed pointless. sure maybe it is supposed to make you think, but it just seemed....like a bunch of loose ends that never tied together. definitely a waste of time. i said in the first 13 minutes that i hoped it was only an hour and a half film. if you want a really good suspense film i say watch the skeleton key.

Avoid this tripe at all costs. After 20 minutes of stupid dream sequences and Gina Philips' boyfriend sneaking up behind her, Tom Sizemore suddenly shows up. He just happens to be living on this property too but she never tells the boyfriend about him when we see him next. Even the music is dumb with plenty of loud shocks and it shows up when something stupid frightens the Gina Philips.

The sex sequence is stupid too. I'm expecting something hot as Gina Philips shows up in a nightie but she never takes it off. They actually have sex with their clothes on!! Finally, I had enough and turned this off; I wasted enough time on it.

For better entertainment get a bucket of ice and watch it melt.

these should be the words that best describe this film, although silliness and non sense have quite a strong presence here.

it's pointless to even attempt to describe the film's plot - there isn't a coherent one! the acting isn't all that bad, but one gets easily fed up with the never ending scenes that depict nothing at all and are simply confusing.

the scenes (painfully!) march slowly along towards an end that brings nothing new and unexpected to the genre. there are better films who manage to accomplish the effect this one tries (and fails!) to achieve, so i'd say there should be no reason for people to watch this film, unless they wish to decide for themselves just how poor can a film be.

Boy, I must be unlucky. Two banal and pointless movies in one week (the other being the extremely bland "Shallow Ground", for reference). I don't think I've been this unfortunate in a long time. Anyway, this is the story of a woman, Karen, who moves back into her grandparents' home after her grandmother dies, following her last wish. She's going to clean up the house and then sell it and marry her boyfriend. But what happens when she starts reliving the horrors of her past every single night?

This seemed promising, like some kind of Amityville Horror or The Shining-type of film. It had the lead actress from Jeepers Creepers, which I thought was a good movie overall. So this one was a good pick for me, and I didn't bother reading reviews or anything. But ehh...it's just mediocre at best, if not flat out awful. The acting is...terrible...especially from Gina Phillips, who was nowhere near this horrible back in Jeepers Creepers. Maybe it's the awful script. She screams way too much and they go on for too long. The caretaker is meant to 'become increasingly more violent', but it's actually more like one moment he's nice and kind and the next moment he's a freak. Doesn't make much sense. By the end it's barely even a horror movie. I don't know what to call it, but this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I did give it a point or two extra for making me think, because there is a really intriguing idea buried here if you look hard enough. The ending of the movie seemed trite and lame to me, until I thought about it, and realized exactly what the whole thing meant. All the hazy, distorted flashbacks, the missing pages in the kids' book, and Pierce's sexually violent nature...all of it leads up to something that I think I'll let you figure out yourself. This may be a terrible film, but I had to give it a point for making me think and realize the meaning behind some stuff here.

A movie has to be really bad for me to fail to see some redeeming quality in it. This is that movie. It has no redeeming qualities. None. The acting is bad. The story (or lack of same) is bad. There is no resolute ending. It is about a woman who must come to terms with a lifetime of night terrors and the cause of them. When her grandmother dies and leaves to her the house where she spent her summers as a little girl, the opportunity for her to deal with her nightmares presents itself. She goes to the house to stay until she can sell it. She transforms from successful business woman to disoriented, annoying screamer as soon as she enters the house. Apparently everything she sees, hears, feels, thinks is symbolic of a childhood trauma. Unfortunately, there is never a foundation developed to which one can relate the symbols. Nothing relates to anything. Nothing makes sense, except we know that she is terrified, maybe guilt ridden from some childhood experience(s). None of her actions are logical, even if you can manage to suspend disbelief, which for this movie is required to even sit through the whole thing. I'd like to see a finished version of this movie, because this version is obviously half baked.

After seeing the trailer for this on a DVD, it looked like a pretty promising movie. I was led to believe it was a supernatural thriller, which it was... or at least I think it was.

"Ring Around the Rosie" is about a woman named Karen (played be Gina Phillips from "Jeepers Creepers") who goes to clean out her grandparent's secluded old summerhouse after her grandmother passes away. She spends the weekend there with her boyfriend, and he leaves to go back to work while she spends a few more days there to finish up packing. She has some strange visions and dreams about the house, and some odd occurrences take place. While staying there, she is introduced to the caretaker of the place, Pierce (played by Tom Sizemore), who seems nice enough, if not a little strange. Her sister Wendy shows up to help, and as time progresses, Pierce begins to become violent, threatening the girl's lives.

The main problem with this movie is that it can't decide whether or not it's a supernatural horror film or a dramatic thriller. Or maybe it is one of the two, but I just didn't pick up on it. I thought it was some sort of supernatural story for the first 45 minutes or so, and then it turned into a thriller from there. Then when the dream-like twist ending wrapped things up, it seemed to combine the supernatural and thriller elements together - leaving the viewer very, very confused. On the plus side, the acting was pretty good, and it had some good moments. But it doesn't make up for the tangled, confusing plot.

I still don't exactly know what happened, it makes no sense to me. If you watch this film, you will see how many questions are left unanswered, leaving the viewer with the attitude like "What in the hell was that!?". This movie could have been decent, but as it progressed, things got too confusing and it ruined the movie. Perhaps someone else may understand the plot better than I, but it just didn't work for me. 4/10.

this movie is a complete waste of money, time, and film-making effort you should only watch this movie if it is your LAST option

i'm not going to tell you how it ended, but i'll let you know that you WILL be disappointed and i'm going to say it right now: i'm sorry. i'm sorry for whatever this movie cost you and i wish you could have it back

this movie was below horrible it made no sense it had a horrible plot the actors were horrible basically, anything that could have gone wrong with this movie DID. if you are about to seriously contemplate watching this movie, please consider some of the following alternate options: 1. death 2. gouging your own eyes out so no one can make you watch this stupid movie 3. number 1 again

i hate this movie

The plot is rather stupid and raw. A few questions arise after watching, and if it had been a good, solid horror film, it would hint, give a clue where to find the answers. But, unfortunately, it is not. I bought this film because of Tom Sizemore in a lead. I really love this guy! He is the most smashing dude I have ever seen, especially when he plays bad guys and freaky military men. But I this flick, hmmm... Tom! Were you really so short of cash to agree to "star" in this sh...! I was really disappointed by this movie! It turned to be worse than "Ticker"! Peope,if you really care for Mr. Sizemore, don't watch this film, he will be grateful!

Not very well acted (except perhaps by John Sizemore) and a story that just failed to grab me. After a while, Gina Philips haunted looks as she gets out of bed for the umpteenth time, really started to irritate me.

Also, if I suspect there's an intruder in the house, I wouldn't yell from upstairs: "Hello, is anybody there...?" as if that intruder would actually give an answer...

It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's just one of those "thirteen in a dozen" films. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Goof: When Gina is holding a baseball bat with which to defend herself, she holds it upside down. In the next shot she suddenly holds it right side up.

this movie fits into those other thrillers where bad memories come back and bite you in the butt. This one is different though, it has Gina Phillps. she is an incredible actress and very believable. It's about Gina Phillips going to her grandparents summer home, to sell it. While she's there her recent dreams turn into nightmare. She meets the grounds keeper and he looks over her. She obviously gets the creeps from him, but that doesn't matter at that point.

When her sister surprisingly shows up, things take a turn for the worst. Pierce (grounds keeper) becomes more and more violent and develops personal and sexual feelings for the girls. Thats when the truth is revealed..

I thought this movie was really good because it was more believable then the rest of the films in that genre. It keeps you watching until the end. It wasn't amazing but you really do want to see how it ends

The best scene in the whole pathetic and ridiculous movie was when Karen got beat up! She was so immature and such a whining sissy that I was happy when she got slammed around. I wanted it to happen almost as soon as she got to the place. She was so spoiled and childish she actually deserved it.She overreacted to everything and she also was a b-tch to her boyfriend.He should have dumped her.This movie really sucked. It has major holes throughout.There are so many unanswered questions. Anyone that has given this thing a good review probably is somehow connected to it and wants to help it save face. It's that bad! Don't waste your time. The cover looks good but don't be fooled.
