Seems like a TV movie but that doesn't mean it's bad

Warning: Spoilers
There's something about this movie that feels like it was made for TV.

It could be there's only a couple of famous faces in it, although I don't think they were big stars at the time.

Michael Sarrazin stars as Peter Proud, a young guy who is haunted by violent dreams and discovers after some painstaking work he is actually not a unique human being but that he has lived before.

Problem is the guy he used to be Jeff Curtis wasn't a nice man. Also this guy was murdered by his wife.

So Peter tracks down the wife who is now middle aged and he also gets under the bed sheets with his former self's daughter Ann, a rather naive 20-something. Incestutous reincarnation doesn't look good.

It looks like Jeff may be dead but Peter in 1975 seems to have inherited a lot of Jeff's distasteful behaviour. This is masked by Peter's nice guy veneer but deep down he's still Jeff.

We knew - or at least I knew- where all this was going. Prepare for murder of Jeff Part-2. This time Peter.

Margot Kidder plays Jeff's wife Marcia. She says something to Peter which really struck home. 'You came back and groomed your own daughter.' Very true.

A predictable ending but I never felt sorry for Peter/Jeff. I hope he didn't come back again.
