Laughable Horror Movie
The psychiatrist and host of the radio talk show Talk Line, Dr. Sonny Blake (Rose McGowan), returns to Rosewood Lane, in Stillwater, one year after the death of her father to live in his house. Sonny was raised with brutality by her father and is a traumatized woman that was submitted to therapy by Dr. Cloey (Lesley-Anne Down). Sonny's boyfriend, the DA Barrett Tanner (Sonny Marinelli), helps her to bring her things to her new home. On the arrival, her next door neighbor advises Sonny that the paperboy (Daniel Ross Owens) is a dangerous weirdo. Sonny finds that the paperboy has broken in her house and might have killed her father, but Detectives Briggs (Ray Wise) and Sabatino (Tom Tarantini) do not believe on Sonny and think that it is her imagination. When Barrett is attacked and is missing, Sonny and her friend Paula Crenshaw (Lauren Vélez) call the police but he is not found in the house. Is Sonny freaking out or is the paperboy an evil being? "Rosewood Lane" is a laughable horror movie with terrible story and screenplay with many plot holes. I have already spent my time watching this garbage and it does not worth to spend more time writing about this awful film. If you do not believe on my words, do the same I did to feel how bad a movie can be. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): "A Vila do Medo" ("The Villa of the Fear")
Not as bad as most people make it out to be.
The film stars Rose McGowan who played a radio talk show psychiatrist named, Dr. Sonny Blake. After her alcoholic father's death, she decided to move back to her childhood home, but once she got back in her old neighborhood, she was immediately warned by her neighbor about the local paperboy who seemed to be a strange young sociopath with supernatural abilities. Unfortunately, the boy immediately took a special interest in her; and when he started calling her show, reciting eerie nursery rhymes, an unnerving game of cat-and-mouse begins. As the game dangerously escalated, she suddenly found herself in a terrifying all-out war, one that forced her to redefine her perception of sanity and had her fighting for her life. This is not a movie with pails of blood pouring out or tons of gore spewing about, but I thought it was a nice mild suspense thriller that reminded me of the Twilight Zone days. If you're into stories like that, then this is definitely one you wouldn't want to miss. This actually got a lot of negative review, but I thought it was quite nice. Something you'd love seeing on TV on a slow weekend, sort of thing. One of the many complaints made was the actor who played the antagonist and his being inappropriate to be cast as a paper boy. Granted, he doesn't look like a boy, but take into account his acting skills here, I thought he made a pretty good job on his role. The story itself isn't perfect, and yeah, some choices the characters made were a bit questionable, but isn't that how movie people have always been? Like how they go into a room when we're screaming for them not to? All in all, I thought the actors were great and the story solid enough to see it through.
Lacking in thrills but still great I thought.
Victor Salva is a very talented director, that's a given, we have the 2 Jeepers Creepers film to thank him for, and a lot of people are very disappointed with his latest effort Rosewood Lane, pretty much straight away I realized that I was watching a very different type of Salva film, obviously the budget is a lot lower than the Jeepers films and this is less of a horror and more of a drama with a supernatural/ thrill edge to it. The story is slightly similar to other movies of the past, but because this has the supernatural twist and the constant guessing throughout it makes it not just a rehash if something already done, in saying that this is really a film that will leave you guessing right up until the end, and you may or may not like the ending but I guess it's 50 50. Rose McGowan has a great screen presence, she has a kind of sweetness and honesty to her that really make you like the characters she plays, and she can carry an entire film quite easily I think, I hope more directors see what a great investment she could be. The youngster who plays the villain is is also really good, the fact that he is always smiling kinda creeped me out a bit, which is good because that's the point I guess. Yes it's no Jeepers Creepers, but it is something a little different, people should give it a go, they may enjoy it, just don't go in expecting full strength horror, expect a thrilling drama that will scratching your head afterwards. Enjoy :)
Hey I liked it what can i say
This brought back memories of the Jeeper Creeper without the big monster in it but it sure had the villain. Unlike most movies that have a huge build this one does not. Right from the beginning you know who the villain is and there is no question this kid is screwed up. The movie is going to go a place that I didn't think it would go. I was sure this kid was the devil with some of the stunts that was going on. I will not spoil the surprise but at the end you will understand everything. I really enjoyed it from beginning to end. If you enjoyed jeepers creepers style type movie than you will enjoy this. Recommend
Not good
Was looking forward to this due to the other review on here, but what a let down. Slow paced, not remotely scary, only stuck with it because i thought it would get better, it didn't. Actually billed as a "Horror/Thriller" it did neither, the bad guy (boy) was very not scary, sorry but menacing looks and black iris's just don't do it for me (or the wife), in fact to call him a boy was really pushing it. Overall a very big let down and a waste of an evening in :-( Certainly not the worst film i have ever seen, but a long way off recommending to anyone. I couldn't give it any more than a 3 out of a sense of duty, because someone had obviously put effort into this, just a shame it is so mediocre.
