Baxley, and starring Lisa Brenner, Steven Brand, and Tsidii Le Loka. It is a prequel to the miniseries Rose Red (2002), and is based on the 2001 novel by Ridley Pearson, which itself is an accompaniment piece to the miniseries. PlotThe miniseries is an adaptation of My Life at Rose Red (2001), written by Ridley Pearson under the pseudonym Joyce Reardon, PhD Pearson's novel was based on the script of Stephen King's Rose Red. The plot revolves around the construction of the Rimbauer mansion, Rose Red, in Seattle, Washington, tracing a series of mysterious accidents throughout the mansion's early history which cause it to become cursed. Set at the turn of the 20th century, the stately, sinister mansion is constructed by powerful Seattle oil magnate John Rimbauer (Steven Brand) as a wedding present for his timid, submissive young bride, Ellen (Lisa Brenner). Rimbauer uses much of his wealth to build the mansion in the Tudor neo-Gothic style and situate it on {{convert|40|acre|ha}} of woodland. The site has been a Native American burial ground. The house appeared cursed even as it was being constructed: three construction workers are killed on the site, and a construction foreman is murdered by a co-worker. Shortly after her marriage to Rimbauer, Ellen begins keeping a diary in which she confesses her anxieties about her new marriage, expresses her confusion over her emerging sexuality, and contemplates the nightmare that her life is becoming. Ellen soon has two children which helps soothe her painful relationship with her husband. First, a boy named Adam, and then a girl (born with a deformed withered arm) named April. At first impressed by her husband's extravagance, Ellen eventually hates and fears John, especially when learning unsavory facts about his past. Meanwhile, the number of individual hauntings in the mansion increases, possibly including ghosts of the many people close to John who have mysteriously vanished. Ellen interprets the eerie manifestations as a warning that she, too, may some day disappear without a trace. Years after her young daughter April also vanishes inside the estate, Ellen and her maid and confidant Sukeena still continue to live in the house. After John's death, Ellen believes that if she continues to build the house, she will never die. She uses nearly all of her inherited fortune to continually add to the home over the next several decades, enlarging it significantly. Rose Red begins growing by itself, adding new hallways, new corridors, new rooms and new staircases seemingly overnight. But mysterious disappearances continue: Deanna Petrie, a famous actress friend of Ellen's, and Sukeena both disappear over the next few years. Ellen herself disappears in 1950, never to be seen again. Cast
ReleaseTelevision airingThe film premiered during sweeps on ABC on May 12, 2003.[1][1] Critical responseMichael Speier of Variety noted the film as an "atmospheric period thriller with kinky lining... an elegantly staged and crisp haunted house primer that could have easily popped up as an A&E production or, minus a few gimmicks, even on PBS."[2] Ron Wertheimer of The New York Times was critical of the performances in the film, adding that "The only memorable sights in these two hours are the close-ups into the wide eyes of Ms. Brenner and the wider eyes of Ms. LeLoka. They both seem to be truly afraid of something, perhaps that someone they know will see this film."[3] Home mediaThe film was released on DVD by Lionsgate on October 14, 2003.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |work=Los Angeles Times | title=Sweeps has ABC on ropes |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2003/may/21/entertainment/et-tvratingstext21 |author=Lowry, Brian |date=May 21, 2003 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181016053550/http://articles.latimes.com/2003/may/21/entertainment/et-tvratingstext21 |archive-date=October 16, 2018 |access-date=October 16, 2018 |dead-url=no |df=}} {{closed access}} 2. ^1 {{cite web |work=Variety | author=Speier, Michael |url=https://variety.com/2003/tv/reviews/the-diary-of-ellen-rimbauer-1200541796/ |title=The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer |date=May 8, 2003 |archive-url=https://archive.is/3xGtb |archive-date=October 16, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |author=Wertheimer, Ron |work=The New York Times | title=TELEVISION REVIEW; Big House With a Short Fuse |date=May 12, 2003 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181016053536/https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/12/arts/television-review-big-house-with-a-short-fuse.html |archive-date=October 16, 2018 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/12/arts/television-review-big-house-with-a-short-fuse.html |access-date=October 16, 2018 |dead-url=no |df=}} {{closed access}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/8901/diary-of-ellen-rimbauer-the/ |work=DVD Talk | date=December 29, 2003 |author=Sinnott, John |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181016052447/https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/8901/diary-of-ellen-rimbauer-the/ |archive-date=October 16, 2018 |title=The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer DVD |access-date=October 16, 2018 |dead-url=no |df=}} External links
