The Color Rose

For this movie I expected more scares considering this movie is claimed to be a horror but it is fairly bland. The ending is really cliché but the acting and cinematography saved this movie for me. This is a movie I wont remember in the next 2 weeks or so but I would recommend.

I don't even know what to say...this film had an interesting concept and actually started off well. I really like the idea behind it....however it went downhill when the murders started and continued to dwindle. It became tacky and ridiculous and once the murderer was unmasked the whole film became one colossal joke. Very disappointing and a huge waste of my time.

The movie synopsis sounds super interesting but the movie is wildly different from it. The laziest thing you can do in a film is exposition dump. Still, I kind of digged it in this movie. I have no complaints on the acting, the actors made it somewhat entertaining along with the cinematography that others have mentioned. The problem is the damn plot. There's no suspense or scare factor. It's a drama with off screen deaths. It's twist is predictable, but thats not that bad. The story just doesn't make any sort of sense. Its all over the place. It just progressively gets more convoluted and dumb as it goes. They had a basic premise planned, girl gets scared and terrorized by her friends and dies, other girls start dying, girl comes back as murderer. Then they just slapped random crap onto it for whatever reason. Like unnecessary subplots that are just there. It would have been totally fine to have her just scare them as some sort of ghost, just do easy creepy stuff like leaving roses places for them, leaving messages like the sins on the desk, anything remotely suspenseful. Then it's fine to have them disappear as long as there's a tiny bit of build up, but nope. Let's just have a random dude who happens to worship Satan and for some reason is like "oh this girl who is presumed dead is going to blackmail me? Well better help her kill these other girls then." Until he shoots her in the end, which he could have done at any moment. Side note, he's apparently a chemist as well as the mortician, because he has like paralyzing agents and chloroform for days. It feels like a movie with every good part cut out of it and all the setup left in. Not to mention the sins aspect is just plopped in there and I'm pretty sure "death by chest gunshot" was not on the punishment list for sloth, but who cares I guess. I'm pretty sure I blinked and one of the girls died and I missed it, because one of them I genuinely don't know what happened to, but she was gone for the rest of the film. If your looking for a TV quality drama with murder in the background, then you might like it. Story is still hot garbage, but the first 20-30mins are interesting at least before the disappointment starts.

Courtney Paige did an incredible job directing her first movie I can't wait to see more.

Why would anyone spend money and effort on brilliant cinematography and creating an atmosphere but give no thought about story, plot and screenplay?

Very bad movie, this film was promoted for a long while, of course due to Covid - 19 it was impossible to get a premiere night, and be showed on cinemnas worldwide, the film was showed in some cinemas and in some streamings, a lot of people were waiting for this film, but te expectative is so high and the reality here is so poor, nothing new, nothing good, just a waste of time

I don't know where the 10 start ratings came from. But its such a waste of time.

Started out ok and by the middle I was still into it but near the end it just dragged on and on. Like nails on a very long chalkboard. Actors were sexy and engaging but not memorable. Good try.

Good attempt but predictable and boring.. some acting was good but most was over done by inexperienced teen girls. This may have been a sin of its own!
