Rose Red is a great TV series based on the fictional events that took place inside the house, where a group of psychics plan to awake the spirits. For practically three hours its entertaining which most TV series and films fail to do, but its missing a plot which is the only problem. There's a really built up story and background to the house but what actually happens in the film go's nowhere.
Stephen King's many stories have defined horror for decades, and one of his most underrated miniseries remains the ideal watch for a good scare. Rose Red is a 2002 American television miniseries scripted by horror novelist Stephen King, directed by Craig R. Baxley, and starring Nancy Travis, Matt Keeslar, Julian Sands, Kimberly J.
Brown, David Dukes, Melanie Lynskey, Matt Ross, Emily Deschanel, Judith Ivey, and Kevin Tighe. Rose Red is unabashedly pulpy, but retains a likeable sincerity. Its pleasures lie in its excess: the extended runtime, the florid dialogue, the grand folly of doomed and dangerous curiosity and beneath the spectral spectacle lurks a neat meta-thrill; Stephen King in conversation with Shirley Jackson, rewriting her restraint into a maximalist.
Rose Red is Stephen King's mini-series that represents his most direct attempt at a haunted house story. In King's nonfiction book on the horror genre, Danse Macabre, King gives high praise for Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, and one gets the impression that King has been eager to embrace this subject matter for. I completely forgot about Rose Red.
