His problem is...he doesn't know how to end things. At least most of the time with King the pay off is the build up and that build up is really fun to read...or in this case watch. But it ends like The Stand, with a solid "meh." And the plot is very Drive-in B-Horror movie, which is fun, because, you know, they aren't trying to do Shakespeare who was also a--gasp--pop writer in his day. It's King, he does horror and some of it is EPIC, like The Shinning, The Stand, you know the names... ...but most of it is B-Movie fun and enjoyable on a whole different level. Rose Red is a B-Movie from the haunted house vein and it works, it makes for an enjoyable show with an enjoyable cast. The is until it tapers out in the last act, but it's long enough where that doesn't matter, we had the build-up and it was worth it.
