Viviane F A classic for its time (1971). By all means, it's not a great movie for today's standards: the plot moves very slowly and the characters are very unidimentional. Like the title suggest, it is about the struggle of achieving success and the sacrifices that must be made to reach it, including becoming the next ''reincarnate''. However, this movie' redeeming quality would be that for its time, and considering it was a book first, it is a staple for its sub-genre of horror: the ''giallo'' style. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Murky goings on at a old country church, with the occult, sculptures, bizarre accidents, a sex-starved teenage vixen, and a very rascally cat. I love that the role of the feline is not lost on whoever composed the Flixster synopsis: "One highlight of the film is the repeated appearance of a mysterious, problem-solving cat." Indeed, yes, and after watching, you will not want to ever become of the "problems" that said cat is compelled to "solve" The Reincarnate has a well thought-out plot -perhaps a little too well thought-out; supporting its premise intelligently causes the story to become a bit slow and long-winded. In the end though, the story is more complete and full than what I see in most of today's movies, even if it might have worked more effectively had it been condensed into a one hour Night Gallery episode.
