Rose Red

Great movie!! As for the length, it was perfect for me...yeah, I know that sounds crazy to most of you...but I wish lots of movies were longer, with more of a story line and this one has it!!! I love movies with creepy old houses and ghosts! I give it a 10! So far, it's my favorite horror movie! The characters in the movie were very good! A bit of sarcasm and humor...fun parts, scary parts...!! I bought the DVD and watch it over again from time to time and it never gets boring to me! I can't compare the book to the movie, as I don't read Stephen King's books...I rather wait for the movies :-) !!! And like always, he plays a small part in the movie ;-) Stephen King gets a 10 also, such a wild imagination that doesn't let his fans down!!!

This movie is based on the Winchester mystery House of the woman who lived there continually built on the house after her husband died I think she went insane after losing her husband &because she became a widow. His guns became something Legendary And since the movie is so loosely based off of it I decided to watch it once since I had visited the Winchester mystery House And actually got lost and it scared the hell out of me. This movie is more along the lines of a house that's like the Winchester except it's not evil my visit to the Winchester mystery House was very boring except for when I got lost and it scared the hell out of me I was lucky my tour guide found me huddled in a corner in the meditation room the only way out I found was through a panel in the closet This wasn't found out until after her death I think if her maids went into the room which they were not allowed and they were caught they would be fired immediately I think this is why this movie haunts me so elaborately.

Okay, when I first heard of this film I was quite skeptical. Although I had enjoyed other SK miniseries' I did not believe that anything could make the haunted house horror films good again. I, however, was totally wrong. This film is great, it had action and horror and the acting was surperb. Julian Sands was excellent as he always is and the others were good too. The only thing that I did not like was the little girl who "woke up" the house. I do not like child actors if only for the simple fact that very little of them can actually act, this girl was no exception. Other than that it was a great film.

^_^ Have Fun!! Amanda

There are so many of King's books that didn't go over well as movies. And this one, which was never even a book, did really well. If you have a Friday night and a lot of popcorn to kill, this is a decent one to settle down with. A lot of the actors are unknown, but pull this off well. I like how it's not just a group of people going to spend the night in a haunted house and win money and fame shtick. (i.e. the new House on Haunted Hill) I also liked how all the people who went had a unique specialty in the paranormal/supernatural. Also, it has the regular blend of characters you love to hate, ones who are suspicious, and the adorable ones that you hope don't make the mistake of investigating unknown noises in the middle of the night alone.

Stephen King has really out done himself this time. Rose Red kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a very exciting movie with lots of special effects. At times it was rather spooky. It's a movie that should be shown without interruptions. I wished I had recorded it to watch again later. I hope it comes out on DVD. I would love to own a copy.
