Product description
Brand New HD Master from a 4K Scan of the Original 35mm Negative by Paramount Pictures Archives! Suppose you knew who you had been in your previous life where you lived who you had loved and how you had died what then? Michael Sarrazin (They Shoot Horses, Dont They?), Jennifer ONeill (Scanners), Margot Kidder (Superman) and Cornelia Sharpe (Busting) star in this highly acclaimed compelling chiller that takes the unthinkable and renders it real. Professor Proud (Sarrazin) is suffering from recurring nightmares of a place he has never seen, a woman he has never met, and a death so brutal and horrifying he must seek an end to the torment. His research leads him to the most unlikely conclusion; he has lived and died before, and now he must find the secrets of that life. His search takes him to a small New England town and puts him face to face with the man he once was, the woman he once loved C and the death he once deserved. The occult comes to life in a tale of one mans terror: The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. Beautifully shot by Victor J. Kemper (Dog Day Afternoon), with a haunting score by Jerry Goldsmith (The Omen), top-notch direction by the great J. Lee Thompson (Return from the Ashes, The Guns of Navarone) and a screenplay by Max Ehrlich (Z.P.G. - Zero Population Growth), based on his own bestselling novel.brbrSPECIAL FEATURES:br-Brand New HD Master from a 4K Scan of the Original 35mm Negative by Paramount Pictures Archives br-Audio Commentary by Film Historian Lee Gambin br-Spanish Super 8 Bathtub Scene with Spanish Audio br-Spanish Super 8 vs US - Side by Side w English Audio br-TV Spot br-30 Second Radio Spot br-60 Second Radio Spot br-Animated Image Gallery C International Posters and Lobby Cards (5:38) br-Animated Image Gallery C International Promotional Material (1:55) br-Animated Image Gallery C International Home Video Releases (0:48) br-Animated Image Gallery C Promotional Stills (0:35) br-Original Theatrical Trailer br-Original German Trailer

- Reviewed in Canada on December 17, 2020Verified PurchaseAfter the Summer Of 42, I'll watch any film with Jennifer O'Neil cast in it. What a treat she is. Yet I got drawn into this dated film, and am happy to find out the delightful Margot Kidder stars here too. Plenty of fun enjoying the sight of all these vintage vehicles, not as much fun as watching the cars in American Graffiti, but a good time nonetheless. It's an interesting concept for a film, back then it wasn't taboo to examine other modes of thinking. Well cast, and a different style of filmmaking, nearly theatrical at times, with different pacing than modern cinema. Well worth watching, and I'll do it again.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2020Verified PurchaseA perfect example of how a film score can transform a film into something fascinating and watchable. This is not a great film, but the score by legendary film composer Jerry Goldsmith breathes so much life into it that it becomes an incredibly haunting and memorable film experience. I can't imagine watching the film without the score...it would be a disaster.
What else to say? Who could have dreamed we'd get a 4K scan of this film? The PQ is a revelation after watching the only legitimate release on Laserdisc. Sparse extras, but Im not complaining. The highest recommendation for fans who remember this strangely haunting 70's flick.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 28, 2019Verified PurchaseI'd seen this movie in the theatre some years ago, loved it, and always wanted a copy for my collection. I never found it anywhere. Imagine my surprise and happiness to find it here on 鶹. I watched it immediately and once again, loved it as I did way back when.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 25, 2018I remember seeing the promos for this when it aired on ABC Sunday Night Movie back in 1977 and that final scene in the lake has always stuck with me. Maybe for that reason I always assumed this was a made-for-tv-movie. Its an intriguing psychological drama that takes an hour or so to get going, but each scene moves quickly and the pacing is good. The lack of any elaborate set pieces or major action sequence may bore todays A.D.D. viewers. But for those who appreciate the more intellectual, sedate films from this time period, its a decent watch. Its always fun to see Margot Kidder play the crazy! And she certainly never shied away from the nude scenes!
- Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2021Verified PurchaseThe movie looked to be made in the sixties, an era I quite enjoyed at the time. The story was imaginative, the acting well-done, and the filming great!
- Reviewed in Canada on November 9, 2019The movie starts intriguingly, as Peter Proud (Michael Sarrazin) has recurring nightmares of being clubbed to death in a lake by a woman in a boat. But what's odd is he has no recollections of the setting or woman named Marsha (Margot Kidder). Even worse, his voice totally changes in his sleep which scares his beautiful girlfriend half to death. Peter also begins suffering from hip pains, which doctors can't find any cause of. Peter seeks psychiatric help thinking it maybe stress due to his job as a teacher, though he's doing fine at it. Furthering his hope for a cure, Peter goes into a sleep study program - where his dreams don't even register as he's having them. Seeing clues in car showrooms and on TV as to locations and details he seems to know, Peter checks out occult books and surmises he might be reincarnated. TV images are from Massachusetts, where Peter's never been. And Peter takes his girlfriend on a supposed vacation to New England, where he obsessively drives the state in hopes to find the locale he's so familiar with. As he feels he's getting warmer, his girlfriend losses patience and returns home. And Peter slowly susses out where the lake is, what terrible events happened in the past there, and who was directly affected by it, and where are they now? It's an intriguing premise, but seems to go off the rails halfway through. As Peter is convinced he is indeed the reincarnation of Jeffery Curtis, and his psychiatrist wants to exploit the revelation. But in locating the aged and widowed Marsha Curtis, and daughter Ann (Jennifer O'Neill) Peter falls for Ann as he tries to piece together what made Marsha kill her husband, and the grief of the supposed "accidental death" she's been living with ever since. Peter's interest in her and her daughter, and his mannerism's make Marsha uneasy. While Ann having been a baby when her father was killed is unaware of the similarities. An intriguing but ambiguous movie that leaves the viewer hanging up to the end. Was Peter actually Jeffery? Was Jeffery trying to get back at Marsha and his daughter? Was it just traces of Jeffery's past that seeped into Peter somehow like crossed frequencies? The movie gets a little TOO convenient with how everything unfolds, and is almost laughable in places in trying to keep up the pace. The extras on the DVD are pallid as well, with an over exuberant commentary by a young film historian and a plethora of promo galleries. It's worth a once watch, but nothing to be revisited anytime soon after I'd say.

- Allen Garfield's #1 fan.Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Great occult thriller.
Verified Purchase...gave all bluray releases this treatment. Lots of extras, and subtitles, too - Oddly rare for KL releases. Great flick, too!
An?eerie and haunting entry in the?onslaught of '70s horror novel adaptations,?The Reincarnation of Peter Proud?is, like its title character, a tricky subject that's hard to pin down. Though obviously supernatural in nature, it tackles its subject in a way that has no interest in outright terrifying its audience. Instead it goes for melancholy tragedy, with director J. Lee Thompson refining the fractured, experimental editing techniques of his prior horror film, the underrated?Eye of the Devil, to tell a story of fate and the dangers of confronting the demons of the past.
Based on a?1973 novel by Max Ehrlich?(who wrote the screenplay himself), the story charts the journey of Peter Proud (Sarrazin), a California college professor haunted by recurring dreams of a woman named Marcia (Kidder) using an oar to kill a man named Jeff (Stephano) while he takes a nude swim at night. A sleep clinic provides little help in unraveling these visions, but when he sees a strangely familiar Massachusetts location in a TV documentary, Peter packs up and decides to pay a visit along with his casual romantic partner, Nora (Sharpe). Upon arrival he retraces the memory fragments of his dreams and comes into contact with the much older Marcia and her daughter, Ann (O'Neill). However, his quest to put these dreams to rest will end up having truly sinister consequences.
Films about reincarnation weren't exactly a rarity around this time, with other titles like?Audrey Rose, Heaven Can Wait,?and?On a Clear Day You Can See Forever?mining similar territory of past lives impacting on the present. What?sets this one apart is its strong focus on sexuality as a complex emotional trigger, with frequent nudity and love scenes acting as transition points that mingle uneasily with the?act of violence at the center of Peter's memories. It's still an unsettling experience with elements of incest and rape added to the mix, with Kidder delivering a powerhouse performance that culminates in a bathtub / sexual trauma flashback scene that no viewer has ever forgotten. The rest of the actors have less to work with (O'Neill in particular), but Thompson keeps a firm hand on the material and manages to evoke a potent atmosphere with some of the darkest, creepiest night scenes you'll ever see. Also invaluable is the unnerving and sometimes beautiful score by Jerry Goldsmith (in the second of four Thompson collaborations), featuring wild electronic shadings that would become his main modus operandi in the '80s.
The Reincarnation of Peter Proud?was one of a handful of theatrical releases for Bing Crosby Productions following the success of?Willard?and?Walking Tall, with theatrical releasing handled at the time by American International Pictures. A VHS release from Vestron in 1986 was hopelessly dull, colorless, and muddy, which had a disastrous effect on the film's reputation for several years. After that it vanished for decades (apart from a shoddy Korean bootleg DVD yanked from the VHS) and became one of the great lost holy grail titles of '70s horror alongside?Willard?and the still elusive?Arnold, though rare repertory theatrical screenings served as a reminder of?how powerful the film could be under the right circumstances. Fortunately miracles do happen, and in 2018 the film was given a rebirth on home video from Kino Lorber on Blu-ray and DVD with a?fresh 4K scan of the original negative from rights holder Paramount. Anyone familiar with the film will breathe a sigh of relief right from the outset as it now looks detailed and colorful, with no attempts made to soften the grain, teal it up, or make it look more like a modern title. The appearance looks very close to circulating theatrical prints but with more visible detail throughout, and the DTS-HD MA English audio is also much richer and clearer than before. The negative isn't quite in immaculate condition (there's a light scratch around the 17-minute mark, for example), but overall it's in great shape and far better than anything we've had before. Optional English subtitles are also included.
The big extra here is a new audio commentary by Lee Gambin, who sketches out the history of Bing Crosby Productions, ties this to?Audrey Rose?(of course), and enthusiastically hops all over the pop culture map with thoughts on such wide-ranging topics as Jon-Erik Hexum,?What's the Matter with Helen,?Cujo,?and?The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea. An alternate, much softer version of the bathtub scene (with alternate footage) is included from the Spanish Super 8 version, also playable in a side-by-side comparison; other bonuses include two radio spots (30s and 60s), a TV spot, the U.S. and German trailers, and four very extensive, separate galleries for international posters and lobby cards, international promotional material, international home video releases, and promotional stills, accompanied by selections from Goldsmith's score.

5.0 out of 5 stars review of KINO LORBER release.
Verified PurchaseThis is an excellent story like the soon to be released The Changeling and both see not a lot happening until the climax makes sense of it all. Only bought this new release as it had a commentary by a film addict whom never stops and goes off on many tangents.Even when talking about the music score he doesn't stop and let you listen. Got the Korean release not long ago and found it a hard slog.I remember the story line well and the trimmed T.V.version. This is complete and much better looking,but is still a long haul if you know the plot.If you aren't familiar with it and can watch a film that doesn't have explosions,fights,gun battles or car chases every 10 minutes you may like this as it unfolds.
