Déjà Vu (1985)
1/10
What a stinker. More like Deja Pew
28 May 2023
I knew the film was going to be a stinker when they put a steamy sex scene within the first 5 minutes of the movie. And it's a long one scene too with needless closeups of the sex that really served no purpose being there. After all that nonsense was over, the film moved at a snails pace and Jacklyn Smith is hardly even in it, and when she is there she's wearing a bad wig and is such a bore. The bulk of the film is of her wooden husband who's obsessed with some dead woman who happens to be the spitting image if his wife.

It's all a big fat bore and even Shelly Winters couldn't help save this mess...in fact she looked bored herself and was probably only thinking of the paycheck she was getting from making this abysmal trash. If you want to see a suspenseful deja vu type film about reincarnation watch the 1991 film "Dead Again" instead. But if you're out of sleeping pills and looking for an alternative to put you to sleep, watch this snooze fest. I guarantee it'll knock you right out.
