VHS Movie Reviews of Audrey Rose [VHS]
Movie Review: bRILIANT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very well made and deserves a rating of 4.5 stars. The only bad part is the girl starts to get on your nerves, just like the dad. But other than that, I think you'll be okay. A little hokey and cliched but effective none the less. Watch it alone in the dark.Movie Review: Okay
Summary: 4 Stars
This is for fans of Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, and The Omen kind of. It's about riencarnation. Pop in the Dvd and watch the theatrical trailer first, then watch the film. A shocking ending. Haven't read the book. Some of the acting is hokey, but it can be forgiven. Rent it!Movie Review: Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay now that my Brady colors have been revealed let me say Marsha Mason is the best part of this. I bought this b/c of the great Anthony Hopkins but honestly, in this picture he is upstaged. Marsha Masons performance even rivals the great performance of Ellen Burstyn in the Exorsist. Still, the movie has a few too many weak points to be great. Most notably, the courtroom scenes. This case would be thrown out, no doubt about it. The jury would have no evidence they could examine out in the open and even having the scenes in the movie sorely undermines the credibility of the story.
The husband is decent, a bit overbearing, now lets discuss Ivy. She has the serious look of someone who should star in this type of movie. A real odd look that is beautiful and yet ... well, odd. But the sound direction is totally off. The dubbing used here for her "drop-outs" is so noticable. Just about every line she has has been obviously overdubbed, and poorly, it comes off as a strange "whine". Still, even with this Ivy/Audry has a sort of timeless quality about it.
Everything about the movie technically is good. The soundtrack has some spooky elements in it but never really approaches greatness. The dvd has a trailer (whoopie!) but nothing else which is a downer for anyone who owns Carrie. Still, it's the story I've always been drawn too when I think of Audrey Rose and the sort of ambiguous ending which I personally like, I think it's held up pretty well. If we could give 1/2 stars bump this to 3.5. Give me some interviews and a remastered soundtrack and this could be a 4 easily.
Movie Review: Might make a believer out of one yet !
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best films of the late 1970's. A spine-tingling tale about an eleven-year-old girl who has nightmares about a former existence when she died in a car fire .Susan Swift gives a touching performance as Ivy Templeton. Sir Anthony Hopkins , Marsha Mason and John Beck also star in this bittersweet and horrifying film based on Frank De Felita's best-selling novel.Watch this one with the lights out.If you're skeptical about reincarnation it might just make a believer out of you yet.If you like this one I also recommend "The Changeling" (1979) staring George C. Scott and Trish Van Deer .
Movie Review: Hot Hot Hot Young Anthony Hopkins!
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, that was a joke, 'Hot, hot..." is a line from the movie...But he was quite dashing. C'mon! That's why I bought it! Otherwise, this super-creepy film doesn't really merit a second glance. Once is enough. Marsha Mason plays frazzled again- and she is good at it. Tony Hopkins makes a nice father figure. (But then you see glimpses of Hannibal coming through). This is a film best given to the local psychic for seance material, or as a Halloween Party Door Prize. Or just watch it for fun. I did say it was Creepy...
