When the boy starts calling her show and reciting eerie nursery rhymes, an unnerving game of cat-and-mouse begins.

Critical reception
[edit]Sean Decker of the Dread Central gave Rosewood Lane 1 out of 5 stars, saying "the film is rife with baffling plot turns, characters who consistently make the most illogical of decisions, abandoned sub-plots (and players), plot holes a'plenty and a second act sequence that betrays the third reel's reveal (a reveal that ultimately makes little sense anyway)".[5]
