Title: Disappointing
Review: The book The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer was absoluteley riveting. The movie left out all the essential character building storyline. The Rimbauer's entire year of travel was cut into a couple of quick scenes (and they are completely inconsistent with the book). You are let in on secrets too early and without any background. Suspense is built on not knowing everything right away.You never get a sense of Rose Red as a character, when she is supposed to be the driving force of the story. The movie cut and pasted events and character roles into places where they do not make sense or are ineffective. I had to force myself to watch the rest of the movie...and it didn't get any better. Scary? I don't think so. Don't waste your time.
