Résumés(1)
Dr. Joyce Reardon (Nancy Travis) is a professor at the University of Washington in Seattle who is determined to prove that supernatural occurrences are real. Using six specialists, each of whom possess a different form of psychic ability, the scientist leads her group into Rose Red, a haunted mansion that has grown in size since it was built in 1907.

It can be said that Rose Red is a typical television adaptation of Stephen King's work, meaning it is very average with mediocre actors. However, it benefits from the quality of the original material, and therefore is not outright bad. If the producers had exercised some editing and judgment, a high-quality single-episode TV movie could have been made instead of a three-part miniseries, which would have clearly deserved four stars. As it stands, alongside excellent scenes and shots that definitely do not lack atmosphere - like the scene in the winter garden - there is a lot of filler and boring dialogue. Overall impression: 45%.

I don't think it's an outright bad piece of work on King's part, but it's generally rather average in terms of what has been based on it. Even though there's no novel to adapt from, there's still a sense that the atmosphere is lacking here, and overall, it's a bit cliché, both in terms of the horror of the haunted house and as a film adaptation of King's horror. In reality, there aren't characters that truly captivate me here, and there isn't a house that overall stands on solid ground.
