Dead Of Winter / Audrey Rose (Dvd) *New* and 12 similar items

Brand new factory sealed dvd is Out Of Print and only available as a dvd-r. I believe this is a regular pressing, but I don't know if it's widescreen or full screen. It is not noted on the back. It is from TGG Direct and their titles are licensed by the major studios for reproduction. I have seen their Vincent Price movies and can vouch for their quality. They were widescreen, sharp, colorful but no special features. Same here, no special features, but hey, you get two great movies that are both no longer available in a legit pressing. DEAD of WINTER: Lured into the snowy country side for an acting job, Katie McGovern (Mary Steenburgen) finds herself in an isolated mansion at the hands of a suspicious casting agent (Jan Rubes) and his creepy assistant (Roddy McDowall). Soon she realizes a murderous plot is underway with her audition tape as the centerpiece. Despite a few sadistic concessions to the slasher genre, the gothic "old dark house" approach ironically keeps the film from feeling dated. Steenburgen contributes three differant character performances, even battling herself as both heroine and villainess in one memorable showdown, while the twitchy McDowall is watchable as always. This remains a crackerjack suspenser worthy of a larger fan base. AUDREY ROSE: Marsha Mason is alarmed by a sinisterly bearded man (Anthony Hopkins) who seems to be showing an undue interest in her 12 year old daughter Ivy (Susan Swift). When he explains that Ivy is, in fact, a reincarnation of his own daughter Audrey Rose, who was burned to death in a car crash, Mason's husband (John Beck) remains skeptical. But Ivy starts having screaming fits, mysteriously burning her hands ("she is reliving the accident") and calmed only when Hopkins addresses her as Audrey Rose. Later, after a court case in which an Indian guru adds his authoritative testimony as to the reality of the transmigration of souls, an experiment is arranged in which a hypnotist takes Ivy back to relive Audrey Rose's death, and Hopkins completes the exorcism to set his daughter's soul at rest. A surprisingly watchable film with shades of the 'Exorcist' and the 'Omen'.
