All fall down

Ring Around The Rosie is one of those films that leaves you with a feeling that you've just wasted a bunch of time you could have spent cleaning the bathroom, organizing your sock drawer, or perhaps even reading a book. It's bland, it's without scares or thrills, and it's not at all recommended. Some uptight executive type (Karin) finds out her grandmother has just died so she and her boyfriend go to her remote home to pack up all the stuff because she's going to sell the house. There's a somewhat creepy caretaker there (Tom Sizemore) and he is a bit too friendly for Karin's taste. Karin's sister Wendy shows up to help pack and spends most of her time flirting and hanging out with the aforementioned creepy caretaker. Karin is having strange dreams or something, hallucinations? Not sure, but they involve something that happened years ago and the caretaker may have played some part in it. And then nothing was as it seemed when Karin's boyfriend shows up to take her home and Wendy's been dead for 17 years, end of story. Huh? So what the hell happened? Who knows, who cares. For having somewhat of a decent budget (so it appears), this is very shoddy and doesn't do a very good job of telling a story. I've been wondering how this one was for a while, and finally found it cheap at a sale, used, but it wasn't worth even the five bucks I shelled out for it. Don't waste your time, there's plenty of better flicks out there. 2 out of 10.
