Rose (2017 film)

Rose is a 2017 Sherbetian thriller film written and directed by Gerald Jakes. The film’s plot is loosely based off of local rumors around a girl drowning in the ocean from a cruise ship, “trying to see SpongeBob”.

Plot
The movie opens with a compilation of short clips featuring a married couple with their 6-year old daughter, Rose, ending with the family seen on a family cruise ship eating at a buffet. When the daughter finishes her meal, she tells her parents, “I’m going to see SpongeBob, Mom and Dad!” Her parents think that she is going back to their room to watch SpongeBob SquarePants on television, considering that she is a huge fan of the show. By the time they finish eating and as they walk back into their suite, they find out that Rose isn’t in their room and they both ask the captain to prepare a search team to comb the ship for her. Four hours later, the captain returns to inform the two that Rose has drowned underwater after jumping off the cruise ship, attracting a shocked crowd and saddening the couple, who attend her funeral one week later.
