If you were a sixteen-year-old girl and a rich, handsome older man promised to take you away from your boring life and jet you off to Paris, buy you expensive clothes and expose you to a sophisticated world you only dreamed of experiencing, what would you do? That’s the key question at the center of AN EDUCATION. The viewer watches the main character make all the wrong decisions, but can you blame her?

Jenny (Carey Mulligan, PRIDE & PREJUDICE) is a smart young girl working hard to get into Oxford on scholarship. Her father Jack (Alfred Molina, SPIDER-MAN 2) is an unrelenting tightwad who pushes her to succeed. Her mother Majorie (Cara Seymour, THE NOTORIOUS BETTY PAGE) just smiles and nods in the background. On a rainy day while she is waiting by the bus stop, the charming David (Peter Sarsgaard, GARDEN STATE) offers to give her a ride home in his sports car under the pretense that he’s only a music fan looking out for the cello she is carrying. Soon Jenny becomes drunk on David’s lavish world.

In conjunction with the very good ROSE RED, Stephen King and Ridley Pearson concocted this gimmicky prequel story based on the backstory of the TV miniseries. The novel was published as “real life” diaries from Ellen Rambauer who lived in a haunted house. Two of the characters in ROSE RED are credited with editing and writing the afterward for the book. This neutered TV movie version of the diary lacks the scares of the miniseries and the sexual tension of the book.

In 1907, Ellen Gilcrest (Lisa Brenner, THE LIBRARIAN) married the charming John Rimbauer (Steven Brand, THE SCORPION KING), a wealth man who built her a mansion for their engagement gift. But as her husband, he becomes domineering, especially in the bedroom. During their honeymoon to Africa he takes other women into bed with them. On the trip, she gets very ill and is nursed back to health by Sukeena (Tsidii Leloka, ROSE RED), who becomes her best friend and travels back to the States with the Rimbauers. Back in Seattle, Ellen is plagued by deadly supernatural run-ins at the house and becomes convinced that she must keep building onto the mansion in order to beat the spirits.
