VHS Movie Reviews of Audrey Rose [VHS]
Movie Review: This Poor Girl Has A Severe Identity Crisis
Summary: 4 Stars
"Audrey Rose" is a creepy occult thriller of reincarnation. It is based on Frank DeFelitta's best-selling novel of the same title. DeFelitta also wrote several other horror novels; one of which, The Entity, also became a box office success.
Marsha Mason and James Beck give wonderful performances as Bill and Janet Templeton; their daughter Ivy (Susan Swift) is tormented by nightmares of a girl, Audrey Rose, who died in a fiery car crash. Movie legend Anthony Hopkins ("Silence of the Lambs" and "Magic") delivers a convincing performance as the mysterious stalker, Elliot Hoover, who insists that Ivy was his daughter Audrey Rose in her previous life (or incarnation).
"Audrey Rose" does bare some similarities to "The Exorcist." Each film has a tormented girl. Regan of "The Exorcist" is possessed by a demon, whereas Ivy is obsessed by the memories of her former incarnation. Instead of being treated by an exorcist, Ivy is treated by a hypnotist.
The viewer feels much sympathy for the tormented Ivy. Susan Swift gives a great performance each time Ivy has a nightmare during which she believes she is trapped inside a burning car. She bangs her fists against windows and turns over furniture. Unfortunately, this particular scene is repeated too many times and loses its shock value.
"Audrey Rose" is a great introductory film for those who are unfamiliar with the Hindu belief of reincarnation. During the courtroom scenes, a holy man explained that reincarnation is the eternal soul traveling from one body to another as it seeks perfection.
The ending was rater tame, predictable and disappointing. Audrey Rose died in flames. The ending should've been more fiery and explosive. Nevertheless, it was sad.
"Audrey Rose" is a must see for those who believe in reincarnation and for fans of occult horror films, especially those made in the seventies. Also recommended is "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud."
Summary of Audrey Rose [VHS]
Suppose a stranger told you that your daughter was actually his daughter in another life. Suppose you began to believe him. Suppose it was really true! Sir Anthony Hopkins (Academy Award? winner* for The Silence of the Lambs) stars with Marsha Mason (Nick of Time) and John Beck (Nightmare Honeymoon) in an unforgettably powerful and hair-raising occult thriller thatwill make your blood run cold! All Bill and Janet Templeton (Beck, Mason) wish for is a quiet, peaceful life with their 11-year-old daughter Ivy. But their dreams turn to nightmares as Ivy is besieged first by ghoulish "memories" of events that never occurred...and then by a mysterious stranger (Hopkins) who stalks her every move. And just when they think things couldn't possibly get worse, the Templetons come face to face with a horror beyond anything they could ever have imagined: a force from beyond the grave that threatens to destroy the only thing they've ever loved. *1991: Actor: The Silence of the LambsHorror VHS Video
