PLOT SUMMARY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Audrey Rose<\/em><\/strong>, Robert Wise\u2019s adaptation of Frank De Felitta\u2019s novel, gives us an affluent couple (MARSHA MASON, JOHN BECK) at a loss to explain the transformation of their heretofore happy girl (SUSAN SWIFT) into a nightmare-ridden visionary, haunted by intimations of violent death. Until, that is, a stranger (ANTHONY HOPKINS) appears, insisting that little Ivy is, in fact, the reincarnated \u2014 and tortured \u2014 soul of his own daughter, Audrey Rose, who died in a tragic accident just as Ivy was being born.<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Audrey Rose<\/em><\/strong> resurrects onto Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time and despite being given a 1080p high-definition transfer, presented in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio, the picture is not pretty, littered with heavy noise throughout and some obvious dust marks and scratches. The colors though aren\u2019t too bad but there is some saturation going on at times. Not sure if this was just a bad master from MGM or if it\u2019s just not a movie that ever looked that good in HD.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Disappointingly, Warner only included a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track instead of a 7.1 channel track but even so, the lossless audio still sounds incredible with excellent dialogue levels coming from the center speaker to the resounding score that fills any voids since there\u2019s minimal sound effects. It\u2019s a great aural experience all around and has a wide range from Price\u2019s robust score to the utter quiet of outer-space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, Audrey Rose<\/em><\/strong> is not what one would call a lost or forgotten psychological horror-thriller from the 1970s and frankly, even with Anthony Hopkins, it\u2019s not a very effective film especially considering the ridiculous screenplay. The Blu-ray released by Twilight Time unfortunately offers poor-average video, adequate audio and only a trailer in the bonus features section.<\/p>\n
