Product Description
The chilling tale of Dr. Joyce Reardon, an obsessed psychology professor who commissions a team of psychics and a gifted 15-year-old autistic girl, Annie Wheaton, to literally wake up a supposedly dormant haunted mansion, Rose Red. Their efforts unleash myriad spirits and uncover horrifying secrets.
Amazon.com
On regular television, punctuated by frenetic commercials, the leisurely pace of the horror miniseries Rose Red probably felt grueling; but on its own terms, the effect 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) give 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

 Rose Red DVD December 29, 2009
Connie Schwartz (Alliance NE)
This was really a great horror movie. It's a long movie; and
it's done really well.
Rose Red October 22, 2009

I've seen it before but I fell a sleep and missed a lot. I've finally received it and watch. Guess what fell a sleep again. I know which part I missed. So, I know which content to search. And finally which part I missed and figure it all out in the film. This was a great movie and scary. Stephen King is an excellent writer. I know I will watch it again and again.

This is my favorite Stephen King movie by far! I remember watching it as a 3 night mini-series some years ago and fell in love with it. All of the characters' personalities are strong and make this movie interesting. I also do not think it's a "cheesy ghost movie," like some have said. The hauntings are unique and intriguing.
Rose Red (2002)-Not very original for a Steven King story May 26, 2009
Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
Rose Red (2002) was not very original for a Steven King story. I enjoyed it to the tune of four stars but the reason is that I am an easy mark for almost any haunted house story. King stated during the documentary that he wanted to make the ultimate haunted house film. In order to make this the definative haunted house movie Steven King recycled some old ideas and lines from Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, and his own work in THE SHINING (and probably others that I am not aware of).
I am certain many fans recognized the plot elements and lines from THE HAUNTING including: The house is coming alive; Some houses are born bad (which was credited) and the basic idea of the plot which assumed that psychics would serve as a catalyst to the old house. I did enjoy this film and the only thing I was really upset with was the many very long lingering shots of the moody sets and CGI images of Rose Red which I think were only used to fill up the six hours of air time. Special effects were very good for a made for TV movie.

Red Rose is a wonderful follow-up for the Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. I have both tapes and have enjoyed them immensely.
