The Reincarnation of Peter Proud

Never have I viewed a more well written story line. It is the most believable horror movie I have ever witnessed. It is really difficult to view it as a horror movie because of the movies most realistic aspects. It does not have a tendency to frighten you as much as it causes you to seriously consider the possibility of reincarnation being a serious possibility that you may not want to ignore. It also causes you to reconsider those those moments of premonition. Are they really real? Why do they continue their repeat performances in our memories? Is there a reason why they are so blatantly real and continually haunting in our lives. Then there is the undeniable clincher if you believe in the Bible and God. Jesus Christ came back. Lazereth came back, and the Bible says we all will return to one place or another. Mannn!,how in the world was this sequel overlooked?

Saw it in the theatre in the 70's. Just to let everyone that doesn't already know, it will be available on 4K and DVD MAY 29th.

This is one of my favorite films from the 70's when horror and suspense didn't necessarily mean slasher and gore. There was a comment about about an "illegal copy" of this film on the web from VIDEORETRO. I have looked into it and found out something very enlightening. Just so you know, the film is in the Public Domain and the copyright was never renewed, so it looks like there is a lot of bad blood going around in addition to false allegations. Sadly, it doesn't look like there will ever be a remastered DVD of this rare classic as the demand for the film is altogether too low. So a DVDR will have to do.

I really liked this movie, it is one of those movies that really sneak up on you and spook you more as it goes along but why doesn't it ever come out on TV or USA or TBS or HBO.. To all with the power to put this back on TV, please get it back on.. I know a few people who would like this movie. Other movies like this i'd like to see on TV, basic cable or premium (ie:HBO) Also mysteriously spooky movies i'd like to see along with this one.. The Changeling, Ghost Story These are movies that, while they may not have had a great rating.. they were great in that they were all eerie & spooky, unlike Jaws, it didn't just come right out and bite you but it spooked you and I would love to see all these back on TV, all of them were about an 8 in rating.

Recurrent dreams of your murder that may signify your reincarnation! Others who've noted the superior cinematography and soundtrack are correct in identifying the elements that glue one to Peter Proud's predicament. I was an usher when this first showed up in'75--we always got 'gasps' from the audience at the preposterous climax! An opening screenshot saying "L.A. 1975" would make the film appear undated and retrospective. Otherwise exciting and a must-see especially for film students and aficionados.

Edge of your seat thriller, pre-Dolores Claiborne, wrings every chill out of it's story line of a young college Prof. played out gloriously by Sarrazin, who begins to see visions in his sleep. He can't explain them, or tell what they are, and the dream parapsychologists can't seem to help him either. he soon learns that he is reincarnated from a previous life. He goes to where he lived, meets up with people he knew, and finds out he had a daughter. Things get complicated when he falls in love with his former daughter, and his former wife, played outstandingly by Margot Kidder, killed him and he is on a self journey to find out why! Tense, and underrated due to poor distrubution. This film is arguably one of the best thrillers of the seventies, with a haunting musical score by Jerry Goldsmith. Great camera work and scenic locations add to this fine piece of work! Nightmares for months!

All - everyone - give outstanding performances in this terrifically terrifying story of reincarnation. I was about 3 years old when this film came out but was introduced to it as a pre-teen or teen. Anyway I saw it a handful of times as a teen and watching it again all these years later I have to say the film still gives me the chills. Peter Proud has nightmares, he seeks help in a dream clinic and later he and a friend feel he must be experiencing flashbacks of a previous life - Jeff Curtis. Peter sets off on a journey to find out who Jeff Curtis was and why he was murdered before. The film is a little graphic at times, mainly with sex, rape and murder - but that is NOT all there is to this film - it's mainly Peter "finding himself" or should I say "finding Jeff Curtis". 9/10
