The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (TV film)

The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer is a 2003 television miniseries prequel to the film Rose Red 2002. Directed by Craig R. Baxley, the film stars Lisa Brenner as Ellen Rimbauer, Steven Brand as John Rimbauer, and Tsidii Le Loka as Sukeena.

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 Johns 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 Ellens, and Sukeena both disappear over the next few years. Ellen herself disappears in 1950, never to be seen again.
