marinanenna120 This movie was certainly interesting to say the least. Although I have not seen Rose Red, i thought it was an okay movie. To clarify some of the comments that were made about this movie, The film DOES explain the disappearances of the characters indirectly. The characters that disappeared had either a close relationship to Ellen, or had something to do with her husband (who had a very large sexual appetite). Rose Red is more or less a spirit controlling the house that was quite fond of Ellen. The house grew to love Ellen. The mysterious happenings occurred so that Rose Red could get her to see that her husband was really a shaky and unfaithful character. They also occurred because the house wanted Ellen to remain fond of only Rose Red, which is why April disappeared as well. Basically, Rose Red grew jealous of Ellen's and April's relationship. Sukeena never disappeared, Ellen's husband just had her put in jail after April disappeared thinking that she was the cause.With certain horror movies, every detail, every word should be payed attention to, otherwise you will have questions afterwards.

toxiemite There is nothing in this film that isn't covered in Rose Red. Almost every scene in this film is an extended cut of the flashbacks from the first film.Rose Red was just shy of a masterpiece but unless you really really want to see for yourself, the 90 minutes spent watching this film could be used to watch something else...anything else really.Performance and visual style are excellent, but does that matter when we've seen it all before?(I am writing this to meet with IMDb's quota of lines for an individual review... 10 lines at least per comment)

dbaleckaitis Do not bother; the wifey made me watch. I had nightmares from the horrible plot which never develops; just rent these movies instead: Poltergeist, Burnt Offerings, House. The acting is OK at best, maybe more believable if there was some background to work with, but NOT.Even though its made for TV I have to say they should have done much better.The cast, location and props are well done but without character development and a plot with background information... It kills this movie in it tracks. Two words, Keep away

Carycomic This definitely qualifies as one of them. Twice as good as the mini-series, and only one-third the length! Good period detail. Suitably creepy all the way through. I give it four stars, to the original's two-and-a-quarter!
