Audrey Rose Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Robert Wise
Genres: Horror
Rating:
Audrey Rose is a "thinking man's" horror film, which in a way is unfortunate, since it tended to be ignored amidst the many spell-it-all-out scarefests of the late '70s. Marsha_Mason and John_Beck play Janice and Bill Templeton, a happily married couple, the parents of well-adjusted preteen Ivy (Susan_Swift). Their family security is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Elliot Hoover (Anthony_Hopkins). At first mistaken for a potential child molester, Hoover explains that his obsessive interest in young Ivy is actually paternal. It is Hoover's contention that their daughter is the reincarnation of his own child, who died in a horrible accident. This information is dismissed out of hand-and then strange things begin happening. Directed by Robert_Wise (who had previously helmed the psychological thriller The_Haunting), Audrey Rose was adapted by co-producer Frank de Felitta from his own novel. Hal Erickson, Rovi
