Recommended TV: Red Rose (2022)
Horror. Netflix. Michael and Paul Clarkson. Amelia Clarkson. Henry Blake. Lisa Siwe. Ramón Salazar. Recommended TV.
What do you get if you combine a tragi-comic coming-of-age drama with Black Mirror and Ringu? Well RED ROSE seems to fit the bill. This really is a cracking series with some knockout acting, razor-sharp dialogue, genuine chills, naturalistic humour, tension, shocks, and more. Highly recommended.
‘Red Rose is a 2022 British horror drama, based on the teenage angst experienced in varying degrees within a group of school-leavers obsessed with their smartphones. Created by Michael and Paul Clarkson and set in Bolton, this series revolves around a group of friends in the town as they plan to have one more care free summer before heading off to college. However, their plans are immediately thwarted as a sense of danger looms over the group when an app called "Red Rose" is downloaded, and makes sinister demands that ends in deadly, consequences if not followed.’
