Editorial Reviews
Stephen King tells the ultimate haunted house story in Stephen King's Rose Red, a lavish four-hour extravaganza written by the horror novelist, originally aired as an ABC-TV miniseries. Borrowing its set-up from Shirley Jackson's novel The Haunting of Hill House (the basis for 1963's The Haunting), Rose Red tells the story of a psychology professor (Nancy Travis) who assembles a diverse group of extrasensory adepts to spend a weekend in a 90-year-old haunted house in hopes of bringing out its supernatural side. Travis effectively conveys the professor's precarious position on the razor's edge between passion and obsession. The ensemble of guests includes, among many others, Matt Keeslar, Julian Sands, Judith Ivey, and David Dukes (who passed away during production). Echoes from earlier King works resonate, such as the presence of an autistic, telekinetic teen (Kimberly J. Brown) who evokes moments of Carrie and Firestarter déjà vu. With a wealth of inspiration and source materials -- including The Legend of Hell House and House on Haunted Hill -- King revels in the miniseries format, developing the characters and building background before we even set foot in the devilish abode. The elaborate sets and special effects are splendidly scary, as one would expect from a King creation, in this case directed with flair by Action Jackson auteur Craig R. Baxley. The result is an exciting stay in an enormous house with enough ghosts -- both vaporous and gruesome -- to satisfy even the most ravenous of spectral appetites. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble
