Intriguing story and conception hindered by poor acting..., 22 June 2007
5/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

J. Lee Thompson, a highly competent director of the old school, was an odd choice to helm this adaptation of Max Ehrlich risqué bestseller about reincarnation. Ehrlich, who seemed to have a preoccupation with naked bodies, spun an interesting yarn which was dotted with pseudo-adult, naughty asides; Thompson's film doesn't skirt those issues, yet he's not able to shake off the cobwebs and make this a really good suspense thriller. Michael Sarrazin is a college professor whose recurring nightmares seem to spell out a previous life of his; he soon meets Jennifer O'Neill, a woman who figures in the mystery, and Margot Kidder (giving the only good performance) playing the villainess. Thompson's creepy dream scenes (with help from Jerry Goldsmith's spooky music) gives the reincarnation theme some vitality, but, with so many dullards at the heart of the story, this becomes a rather basic, formula past-life tale. ** from ****
