ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Wizard-8 Although "Ring Around the Rosie" was filmed with normal video cameras, it all the same has the look and feel of those ultra cheap shot on videotape movies that popped up in video stores in the 1980s. Needless to say, the low budget means that we don't get that much in the way of special effects or elaborate set pieces. The only way then the movie could have been saved is with the writing, but even in that area the movie fails miserably. The end credits for the movie list FIVE screenwriters, and it shows. The movie can't make up its mind as to what kind of horror movie it's supposed to be. It wavers between being a haunted house movie, a psychological thriller, and a mad psycho thriller, none of which is particularly interesting or creepy. A lot of that is due to the often incoherent nature of the movie. Things happen with no explanation or subsequent investigation (or action) by the heroine, and the characters (particularly the heroine) are murky and hard to get a handle on. How this extremely badly planned and executed project got a star like Tom Sizemore to appear in it, I cannot say. Maybe it was a favor for a friend, but I would bet that friendship was severely tested when Sizemore saw the finished results.
the_wolf_imdb This is THE horror / thriller movie solely intended for the female fans of Sex and the City. Wimpy city girlie that seems to be completely useless in the real world visits the village house which has to be cleaned up for the sale. For reasons completely unknown she decides to do the job herself, maybe because the house is basically already pretty clean. (All the actors seem to be incredibly clean as in the Twilight saga - artificial, lifeless.) She is complete mental wreck that seems to collapse when she sees a mouse or something other horrible happens (like draft closes or opens the window). Even when she is frightened by her own shadow yet she insists that her boyfriend should leave her alone. (She has another, complete different mental issues with him, which are known as a "complicated relationship".) Then the horrible things start to happen. She rides a horse. The takes a bath. The warden cuts off head of the chicken in order to prepare a meal. There is even a really horrifying scene when her sister starts to bleed from her nose. What a shocker! And of course she has dreams and hallucinations, mostly messy and pretty weak.She should take her Xaxax or Prosac and find some nice psychic ward. She needs therapy, seriously. I have seen real people suffering by schizophrenia that seemed to be more normal that she is. Her boyfriend should evacuate this "relationship" at once. He is way too nice to waste his life with such pathetic waste of skin.As for the movie, it is real suffering for anyone who does not live in glamor / completely artificial city world. It is incredibly boring and lifeless.
sigridhelenes The film is simply awful and makes no sense at all. Still don't get what it was about. Some girl inherits a house and has to go there to clean it up before she sells it (she seems to have a lot of money so its sort of stupid that she doesn't get anyone else to do it for her, but anyway). Some creepy guy takes care of the house (or does he really? Sort of difficult to understand) and he scares her. All the time some terrible music is playing, and it gets sort of ridiculous - and not scary at all. This was truly a waste of time. It will be for you too if you decide to see it, even after having read this review. If you do that, you're really not that smart. Actors, plot and music is terrible. Don't see it. Just don't.
luckyfoshizzle If it was possible to give this pathetic excuse of a movie absolutely no stars I would have. This movie definitely ranks up there with one of the absolute worst movies I have ever seen.For one, it was extremely boring. For like 5 minutes every 20 minutes it'd seem like it was going to get interesting but nope it just went nowhere.The acting was horrible. I, myself, seem like a golden globe winner compared to the acting in this movie.Oh, and don't even get me started on the plot. The whole makes-no-sense plot was all suppose to lead to a "surprisingly good ending", but nope definitely did not. Once the ending was revealed I thought that they were at least going to explain why this girl dreamed the whole movie up, but nope. They didn't explain how her sister died.To sum it all up, if you have a choice between this movie and any other movie on the face of planet, get the other movie. I wasted 3 bucks to rent this movie cause with the title "Ring Around the Rosie" I thought it was going to be about a bunch of creepy kids (which absolutely scares the hell out of me). The title didn't enough have anything to do with the movie. This movie was just the very definition of crap!
