The Reincarnate (1971 film)

The Reincarnate is a 1971 Canadian horror film directed by Don Haldane.
==Synopsis==
A wealthy lawyer with a short time to live hides a secret--he is the continuation of a line of "reincarnates", and his memory is an accumulation of their memories. He must find a successor to whom he can pass on his memories, and he meets a struggling but ambitious artist who seems to be a likely candidate for the "reincarnation" ritual, which involves sacrificing a virgin.The Reincarnate - IMDB - Retrieved 22 December 2021

=== Retrospective ===
Writing for blogTO, Ed Conroy said of the film, "There are some movies so bland and eye batting awful that they will never be shown on TV, or in a theatre, or released onto DVD or Bluray. The Reincarnate is one such movie."This Week in Home Video: Silver Linings Playbook, Vampire Lovers, Not Fade Away and Bruce Lee - Ed Conroy - 30 April 2013 - blogTO - Retrieved 22 December 2021
