This feels like a project that could have done with more script development, good though the actors are.

Rated: 2/5

It's the modern love story most of us crave. Well, some of us.

Screen International

Eerily intimate in tone and positioned on the restrained end of the horror spectrum, Rose: A Love Story is a striking feature directing debut for Jennifer Sheridan.

Vague Visages

Even when an inevitable interloper arrives at their house to add drama to proceedings, the film remains inert and uninterested in the contradictions that make people the way they are. It’s lifeless.

Unfortunately, it suffers from over-indulgence and will likely test the patience of all but the most ardent of horror fans, and the pay-off is nowhere near satisfying enough for the build-up involved in getting there.

Rated: C-

A hell of a debut from Sheridan & Stokoe and for audiences and horror fans it will be love at first bite.

Rated: 5/5

A very atmospheric and slow character story. The main cast, real life partners are good and the location of snow covered woods set in some stunning scenery brings a strong sense of claustrophobia. You will probably guess what is going on early in the film but be patient because the ending is excellent.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Satisfying slow burn drama/horror set against a chilly woodland backdrop. Nicely acted, holds its cards close to its chest and will reward the patient viewer.

Rose lives in seclusion with her husband in a cabin in the woods. The couple's relationship is tense as the woman sees her mysterious disease as a burden. The unexpected arrival of a troubled guest will forever change the courses of their lives. "Rose: A Love Story" is an unusual approach to the vampire subgenre. The movie is driven by the couple's suffering and daily struggles. A love story shaped by one of the most terrifying dramas of human condition: illness. Dark and tender!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Frustratingly slow paced plot. The dialog is annoying and exhausting to suffer through.
