Review – Premonition (2004)

Though this Japanese horror movie is more wind-up than pitch, the wind-up is still fun to watch. A man (Hideki Satomi) out for a drive in the country with his wife and daughter happens across a newspaper with his daughter’s obituary. Moments later, she dies just as the newspaper predicted. This sucks the grieving parents into a strange world of people who have premonitions about impending deaths. And when our hero tries to prevent one of the disasters he foresees … well, let’s just say it doesn’t end well. Mildly amusing
