Jack Downloaded this movie because it came out when I was 10 and remember seeing it at the theater with my 18 y/o sister. Nostalgia caused my peaked interest. The acting is subpar. The characters are not convincing, especially the paranormal PHD. The dialogue failed to hold my interest during this very slow-paced yarn. I certainly qualify this flick as the proverbial B movie and all that this label entails. Brenda Lee Scott was especially horrible and meaningless to the story. Don't waste your time on this one.

Rainey Dawn 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

Claudio Carvalho In California, the college professor Dr. Peter Proud (Michael Sarrazin) is haunted by a recurring nightmare where he is a man swimming naked in a lake that is hit by a row and murdered by a woman called Marcia. He also feels a pain on the hips. He seeks medical treatment with his colleague psychologist Dr. Samuel Goodman (Paul Hecht) in a laboratory but there is no positive result for the treatment. When Peter sees a town in Massachusetts in a TV show, he decides to travel with his girlfriend Nora Hayes (Cornelia Sharpe) to seek the location. After a couple of days, Nora decides to leave him but Peter continues his search. He arrives at Springfield where he eventually meets the gorgeous Ann Curtis (Jennifer O'Neill) in a club. Soon Peter discovers she is the daughter of the woman of his nightmares Marcia Curtis (Margot Kidder). Further, he might be the reincarnation of Marcia's husband Jeff Curtis (Tony Stephano), who died in the 40's in Lake Dream. But Marcia notes that Peter Proud is the reincarnation of her husband while he falls in love with Ann. What will happen to the trio?"The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" is a mysterious film with an original and intriguing story of reincarnation. The first point that impress is the cast, with Michael Sarrazin, Margot Kidder, the Brazilian Jennifer O'Neill and Cornelia Sharpe. The plot is creepy but the film deserved a better conclusion. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Reencarnação de Peter Proud" ("The Reincarnation of Peter Proud")

kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** It got to the point that young collage English professor Peter Proud's, Michael Sarrazin, dreams starting effecting his life that he decided to get help before he goes off the deep end. Seeing his good friend psychologist Dr. Samuel Goodman, Paul Hecht, Peter is told that there's something in his distant past that triggering these dreams and decides to put him under hypnosis to find out what it is. It turns out that the dreams that Peter has been having are not from his past but from another lifetime when he was murdered in what was thought to be a boating accident! And it's now up to Peter to not only find who and were he was at that time but the circumstances that lead to his murder!As incredible as it sounded Peter as if guided by fate decided to find out who he was and who murdered him by remembering bits and pieces of the reoccurring dream he had that lead him to Springfield MA. By then his live-in girlfriend Norma Hayes, Cornelie Sharp, had all she could take from him and left Peter on his own in order to find himself or who he was, in his mind , in another lifetime. Little by little all the missing pieces of Peter's last life, from 1914-1946, fell into place in Springfild. Peter as it turned out was the no good creep and tennis hustler Jeff Curtis, Tony Stephano,who was a nudist who liked to skinny dip as well as cheat behind his wife Marcia's, Margot Kidder, back at every opportunity. The final straw or insult was when Marica found out that he was having a hot and heavy affair while she was in the hospital giving birth his first child Ann, Jennifer o'Neill, that she took matters into her own hands.****SPOILERS**** Tracking down his both wife and child Marcia & Ann, from his previous life Peter just couldn't help falling in love with Ann who had no idea who he really was. It was Marcia who had her suspicions about Peter, she thought he was some kind of creep,soon realized that he was her previous husband whom she murdered some 30 years ago. That by Peter while having a dream about his past existence, while taking in the sun at a local swimming pool, spilled the beans about what he knew about being married to her back in his past life! After that if was all downhill for Peter as he re-lived that horror that ended his life as Jeff Curtis back in September 1946!Peter Proud not only screwed up his life , by losing it, but also the proof that his friend Dr. Goodman was to use to prove that reincarnation is in fact the real deal not just an old wives tale like most people believe it is. But by not being able to keep his big mouth shut as well as keeping his thoughts to himself as well as fooling around with was his daughter Ann, in a previous lifetime, he set into motion the seeds that eventually lead to his own demise. P.S Loosely based on the 1958 Indian classic about reincarnation "Madhumati".
