tlooknbill Well, I'ld be yelling my head off in excruciating agony running to plunge my entire body in the kitchen ice box. I certainly wouldn't be wining in a weak annoying high pitched tiny scream and flailing my hands against the window while running around the house which is what you'll be subjected to from a little girl reliving this experience through the reincarnated soul of another child occupying the same body who was years before burned to death in a fire from a automobile accident.This little girl's reacting this way throughout the entire movie is the hole in the logic of the movie's entire premise though it is a very interesting concept for a movie plot. It just needed more emphasis either through acting performance and/or special effects to make it land right.I finally watched this movie from start to finish a day ago after always catching this movie in the middle in reruns and kept hitting the remote because I just couldn't sit through this irritating screaming girl I at first thought was just being possessed by an evil spirit as some Exorcist movie wanna' be.I actually misjudged this movie based on not knowing what this screaming girl's problem was. I felt all the adult actors did a very good job in making me suspend disbelief in a movie plot that effectively demonstrates how reincarnation could be shown and manifested in a human.I mean most claims of reincarnation I've heard or read about don't provide any proof. This movie cleverly and compellingly shows it in a well written plot with convincing dialog and realistically gut wrenching emotion from the actors. Lot's of tears are called up by the actors in this one. There's not a lot of movies that approach this subject in this way with this level of seriousness and commitment by the actors and story line at the same time have it be a thoroughly entertaining experience which was the case with me.I just couldn't get passed the little girl's thin sounding screaming from reliving being burned alive over and over.
tamosoeka I was watching this film a week ago, without knowing this has Hare Rama Hare Rama stuffs in it. That day, Ram Rahim Story came out in India. He was sentenced to imprisonment.Now, I don't want to sound like Hindu-phobic or something, but the film was boring. There were better re-incarnation films made in Bollywood. Comparin' to them, this was a ridiculous attempt at it.The film cuda been a hell lot good. It just wasn't.The ending simply fall flat. When you make a story, you end it good, or you just don't know how to end it. With that meaningless hypnosis scene, it ended in nothing.Skip it. There are better movies waiting' there.
utahman1971 Holy annoying little girl that screams nonsense a lot through out the whole movie. How is anyone able to compare this to The Exorcist? Nothing alike. There is no exorcism at all. It is just boring and nothing hardly at all except the girl screaming all the time.I am only watching because just nothing on television but crap most of the time, and this channel Comet shows a lot of interesting movies, except this one. This is just really bad of the bad movies out there and to see it with a over 5 rating is disgusting.Nothing creepy or scary about this film or even remotely interesting, except to just waste a lot time, which it does very well or very badly with the screaming. I rather listen to my metalcore music over the girls screaming. This should be one of the worst films made.
Claudio Carvalho In New York, Janice Templeton (Marsha Mason) is happily married with the executive Bill Templeton (John Beck) and they live in a comfortable and fancy apartment with their eleven year-old daughter Ivy (Susan Swift).One day, Janice is stalked by a weirdo and she tells her husband. Soon the stranger contacts them and invites the couple to meet him in a restaurant. Elliot Hoover (Anthony Hopkins) tells to Janice and Bill that his daughter Audrey Rose died eleven years ago burned in a car crash and her soul would have reincarnated in Ivy's body. Bill and Janice believe that Elliot is nuts and Bill tells his lawyer to get a restraining order against Elliot. However, Ivy has dreadful nightmares and only Elliot is capable to calm her down. When Elliot abducts Ivy, Bill and Janice go to the court to arrest him. But Elliot wants to prove that Ivy and Audrey Rose are the same soul. When I saw "Audrey Rose" in the 70's, I found it a great film of reincarnation. I have just seen it again on DVD and this time I found it a reasonable film only with a flawed screenplay. Maybe the film is dated, with the present behavior of people.The unstable Janice Templeton, performed by Marsha Mason, is an inconsistent and irritating character. Her attitudes are ridiculous and she never supports her husband, even in court when she is summoned to testify. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "As Duas Vidas de Audrey Rose" ("The Two Lives of Audrey Rose")
