Ring Around the Rosie (2006)

Great Film overall

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

God this was bad.....Tom Sizemore was great as the slightly off caretaker. But what was he thinking? Probably just wanted to make a movie with Gina Philips. She is hot. But, what was she thinking? No one seemed to like Jeepers Creepers. I did. I thought she was great in that. And now I see she will be in Creepers 3. I'm looking forward to seeing it.But this film was a serious mess. Usually you see a horror movie like this and say ........hmmm, it must mean something, but I'm not seeing it. Or..........I get it......this must have happened blah blah....but this film doesn't allow for any of that. It's blatantly incoherent. The only way it would work is if you re-wrote it. And why do that. I think it was trying to be a cliché, but that wasn't even working......I'm not going to go into details. Basically......girl goes back to childhood house, haunting memories(of what..who knows!) Girl figures it out. My money says she really didn't figure anything out. Gina took the money and ran. It took me a while to get my DVD player to play this film. It keep giving me a code instead of playing. I'll know better the next time to listen to my player....the code probably meant "movie sucks, back away from the remote"......don't waste your time, unless you're curious and would like to write a creatively bad review. That's the most fun you're going to have with this film..........

That was a terrible, terrible movie. Absolutely dreadful. Isn't even worth my time discussing it. Don't watch it, heed the signs and don't waste an hour and half of your precious time like I did. Why was Karen like that? She's a complete moron. Again, awful. No character description. The information on the movie was that she went through some long suppressed horrible memory. What was it? The movie never even hinted at what it was! It went from one idea to another, absolutely ridiculously stupid. Nothing was explained. Nothing! I am so annoyed at the writers for wasting time and money turning out such a piece of rubbish. Thanks for nothing! And what was that little 5 seconds of film just before the credits rolled? What the hell was that? What was it supposed to be? IT WAS NOTHING! JUST SOMETHING TO BULK OUT THE TIME! Didn't explain anything at all relevant to the movie. The writers are complete half-wits! To Whoever Directed "Fear Itself:Dark Memories" or "Ring Around The Rosie": I COULD DIRECT BETTER THAN YOU! I mean come one! It's common sense that when filming a movie, 30 seconds of film is a lot of time to be looking at the one frame, like, oh, I don't know, 30 seconds of Karen waking up and just sitting in her bed. I'm 14 years old and I know this! To sum it all up: Stupid movie, A waste of time, money and resources, and not worthy to be a movie from this time.

When the grandmother of the publicist Karin (Gina Phillips) dies, she inherits her property in the fields. She travels with her boyfriend Jeff (Randall Batinkoff) for the weekend, but she decides to stay along the week cleaning up the place and packing the stuffs. Karin has horrible nightmares and visions of ghosts of her past, while she stays in the house with the creepy housekeeper Pierce (Tom Sizemore) and her younger sister Wendy (Jenny Mollen)."Ring Around the Rosie" has a non-sense, absurd, confused and unintelligible screenplay. The motives and actions of Karin, who behaves like a moron in spite of being a successful publicist, are never well explained. It seems that she had a traumatic experience in the house many years ago, and when she returned, she recalled and lived it again, blending nightmares with reality, but the director Rubi Zack was never able to explain the story. It seems also that each one of the four writers wrote one part of the story, but they forgot to interact and put the ideas together. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "O Mistério de Rosie" ("The Mystery of Rosie")

Honestly, they should decide what they want this movie to be, a psychological thriller or simply an action thriller... Because their combination of both just doesn't seem to work out...Good thing about it though is that the characters aren't stupid... unlike some other horror movies, these characters are relatively believable. Another thing is that it is quite unpredictable but really, nothing exciting about its ending.I do wonder however at the title and how it is related to the movie(I watched it as "fear itself: dark memories")...or the tagline for that matter.
