Rose's films are heavily influenced by modern, hyperkinetic action movies and video games. Some films even go so far as recreating scenes and character profiles from popular horror-themed video games (such as "Goldman" in the Mutation films, who is directly lifted from the Sega shooter House of the Dead 2). His penchant for practical gore effects are extremely reminiscent of the early works of German contemporaries Andreas Schnaas and Olaf Ittenbach.

Rose has released several rap CDs under the stage name King Hannibal and takes part in numerous live performances throughout Germany. His albums, which mix traditional rap with metal have all been successful in Germany's upstart hip hop industry. His latest music project, King and Prinzessa, was with Magdalena Kalley, his then-girlfriend who had also appeared in several of his films.

As a journalist, Rose is also known on social media platforms, including Twitter, by the nom de plume KDM, which is short for Königreich der Monster ("Kingdom of Monsters").
