[Movie Review] 予言. PREMONITION. /9:57 PM
Here's a review of the upcoming Japanese Horror movie 'PREMONITION'. To be released on the 9th of June, eh, which is also my enlistment date. -.="
The second installment from the creative vision of renowned producer Taka Ichise, is PREMONITION – based on the cult classic comic book “Kyofu Shinbun” (Newspaper of Terror). Recently released as a double bill in Japan alongside INFECTION, the two films have collectively grossed close to $6 Million USD to date in their first few weeks of release in Japan.
While driving blissfully through the countryside with his wife and daughter, Hideki Satomi stops at a phone booth to send an email. There he discovers a scrap of newsprint with his daughter’s picture on it, and an article describing her death in a traffic accident. With a sense of horrible premonition and foreboding, he witnesses the terrifying automobile collision that had been accurately described in the article. The grieving father becomes obsessed with uncovering the mystery of the newspaper.
Three years later, Satomi has not recovered from his failure to prevent the accident that killed his daughter and subsequently destroyed his marriage. Although he tries to cling to sanity, he’s haunted by spectral visions of newspapers foretelling calamitous events in his community. When he receives yet another mysterious newspaper with an article predicting the horrific death of a young student, he vows to do everything to save her from the deadly prediction foretelling her death, and thereby saves himself.
