Summary: Entertaining Mumbo Jumbo
Review: Anthony Hopkins rises above a mediocre script to make this a heartwrenching and suspenseful thriller. The film is very entertaining and the little girl is brilliant. The strange imagery, the creepy ending, Hopkins melancholy persona combine to make this a film worth viewing.

Summary: A Good Little Thriller About Reincarnation!
Review: Audrey Rose is a good little thriller about reincarnation. it's not scary in a horror movie sort of way like The Excorcist or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre so if you are looking for a movie about demon possession or a movie with lots of blood, guts and decapitations than this aint your flick but if you like stories about reincarnation than this just may be the flick for you! Audrey Rose is more what I would call psychological Suspense and drama then horror and I enjoyed watching it and I thought the girl who played Ivy was really good. And it also stars Anthony Hopkins who is brilliant as Eliot Hoover and Marsha Mason also turns in a great performance as Ivy's mother Janice.

Summary: Not An Exorcist Spoof!
Review: Audrey Rose is an outstanding movie about reincarnation, one of the things I like about the movie is that it's a little scary but it's not too scary that it gives you a total wiggins where you get scared when you turn the lights out at night and it has a great cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, Marsha Mason, John Hillerman, John Beck, Norman Lloyd and Susan Swift.Oh BTW: This is not an Exorcist Spoof, it's about reincarnation, life after death, not demon possesion. Movie is definitely recommended!

Summary: BORN 1959....DIED 1964.....BORN 1964....
Review: Audrey Rose. Who or what is Audrey Rose? Is it a demon? Is it a ghost? No. Audrey Rose a little girl. A little girl who died a tragic death and maybe living in another body of another girl...... Meet the Templetons. Janice and Bill. They live in a high-class New York apartment building with their 11-year-old daughter, Ivy. Suddenly, Ivy's personality has changed. She's not acting 11. But acting like a 5 year old. And she's been having a sleepwalking problem too. She'll get up (though, obviously sleeping) and run around her room screaming "Mommydaddymommydaddyhot!hot!hot!" and has even scorched her hands on some invisible hot fire. Enter Elliot Hoover. A middle aged mysterious man who follows Janice and Ivy home from school every day. But he stays far behind them. Every day, Janice worries that the mysterious man is going to attack her. One day, Elliot finally gets the chance to tell Janice and Bill something that has been bothering him. He believes that their daughter Ivy is a reincarnation of his dead child, Audrey Rose. You see, she was in the car that his wife was driving when it skidded off the road and into a ditch below where it caught on fire.He tells them that he moved into town around around the same time that Ivy has had her night fits. Suddenly, from the upstairs of their apartment, Ivy has another fit, screaming "Mommydaddymommydaddyhot!hot!hot!" The Templeton's are horrified to discover that the only way to calm her down is for Hoover to say "Audrey! Audrey Rose! It's daddy! It's daddy!" until she falls asleep peacefully. The Templeton's tell Hoover not to return to their apartment and to leave them alone. After countless attemps to contact the Templeton's, Elliot kidnaps Ivy and is arrested. During a court battle, Ivy is taken away from her regular school and is brought to a Catholic Elementary where there will be no reports covering the possible "reincarnated girl". During that time, Ivy is upset because all the girls tease her after sneeking in a newspaper with Ivy on the front. During a special holiday event at the school, the children build a gigantic snowman and dance around it singing "Old man winter go away! Don't come back till Christmas day" Ivy is forced by Audrey Rose to walk into the fire and kill herself, but is stopped by a nun. Meanwhile, the trial is still going on and a witness who was in the car accident (the trial is now about reincarnation and if Elliot was right) said the last words she heard Audrey Rose say was "Mommydaddymommydaddyhot!hot!hot!". Ivy is taken out of the school and Janice believes that Ivy is really Audrey Rose from the second she was born. Bill doesn't. Elliot is found "Innocent" and Janice agrees to Elliot's decision to put her under hypnosis to see what she can remember. It is done live on tv. Suddenly, Janice is startled when they go back in Ivy's memory to discover Audrey Rose yelling "Hot!Hot!Hot!Hot!Hot!Hot!Hot!Hot!Hot!" constantly. They try to take her off the hypnosis quickly, because if she doesn't snap out of it soon: she'll die. RECCOMENDED TO FANS OF:

Summary: Marsha Mason, we miss you!
Review: Four time Oscar nominee, Marsha Mason, is absolutely fabulous in "Audrey Rose", and makes you wish she'd made more movies. Anthony Hopkins matches her every step of the way, too. This is not really a thriller. Under the sturdy direction of Robert Wise, this is an absorbing, psychological drama which advocates reincarnation. It's a good film, and it sure makes you hope for more Marsha Mason movies to make it to DVD. MORE MARSHA! Please!

Summary: Exorcist Spoof
Review: Gosh, now i know not to judge a video by its cover! When i rented it i thought it would be good ( practically anything is good with Anthony Hopkins ). When i watched it all throughout the film i kept thinking " Shut that girl up!!!"! She was awful along with her father!! So much of the material was the same cliche!!! Especially from The Exorcist!! Take my advice, don't waste your money buying or renting this movie!

Summary: things of soul also fails in cinema
Review: I don't think this is an terrific film as commonly catalogued. It's a fable about reincarnation as believed in Hindu religion and not so badly conceived although contains a basic failure. Audrey Rose, a little girl eleven years old has disturbing nightmares that worsen progressively. Furthermore his parents are alarmed because a man are watching her. The explanation is this man had years ago a daughter killed in a car accident and he believes Audrey Rose is truly a undue premature reincarnation of her daughter and these is the origin of the strange crises Audrey suffers. Audrey isn't posessed by any devil, simply she expects a better life. Well I find one uses to think things from beyond the grave can't have these defects more own of carnal, human incapacity.

Summary: Fantastic Movie!!!!
Review: I first saw the movie Audrey Rose in movie theaters when I was a kid and me and my friends loved it, the critics didn't like it and gave it really bad reviews and ratings of 1 * or called it a turkey etc, but everyone I know who has seen it has loved it! The movie is always listed as a Horror movie but I really don't see it as a horror movie but more as Mystery and Suspense and a totally riviting Psychological Drama. Anthony Hopkins, Marsha Mason, John Beck and Susan Swift are all wonderful actors and I wish Susan Swift had appeared in more movies and TV shows besides Audrey Rose, Harper Valley P.T.A, and The Chisum Trail. I have Audrey Rose on video got it for Christmas one year and I'm hoping to buy a DVD player someday and to buy it on DVD.

Summary: still don't know what to make of it
Review: I had vague memories of this movie from when I was little, and remember being fascinated by it. So I was dying to get my hands on it as an adult, and reaquaint myself with the story. Well, naturally I was disappointed ... I can see how a little kid would be riveted to it, while an adult would be more critical. The family, in all their closeness, was hard to stomach. Ivy was indeed irritating, as others have proclaimed. (Anthony Hopkins was as great as always.) But it was the ending that let me down the most; it was so anticlimactic. I walked away from the whole thing with a bewildered, unsettled feeling.

Summary: I Liked This Movie!
Review: I read the book this movie is based on and the book is really good and so is this movie which is quite faithful to the book with maybe a few minor changes that really don't matter any way and I recommend this movie with it's fascinating reincarnation plot! Susan Swift was excellent as Ivy and the rest of the cast is good too!
