Episode Description

Rose Red may have premiered back in 2002, but its power has not faded. While not a conventional haunted house tale, its genius lies in a grounded realism that makes the terror feel palpable. It's honestly a tragedy that this miniseries is so often overlooked, because it remains a brilliant, underrated piece of horror that deserves a permanent place in the horror community. One person who stands out the most is Matt Keeslar who plays Steven Rimbauer perfectly; a most talented actor who deserves top recognition for his portrayal in this miniseries.

Join me and Matt as we sit down and talk about his role as Steven Rimbauer; He goes into detail about his character, the movie set, production and what it was like to work with such a talented cast. Matt also brought Julian Sans back to life with his almost perfect imitation of the deceased actor which I thought was really cool.

Although Rose Red is considered a miniseries, it’s still on my rewatch list not only because of the story line but also because of the actors who delivered their roles phenomenally. And to be honest, I believe that this movie still resonates with audiences almost 25 years later.
