Premonition (1999)

With the gloomy overcast atmosphere of Seven, a supernatural undercurrent that echoes in films from The Exorcist to The Sixth Sense, and a plot that could have sprung from The X-Files, Gavin Wilding's Premonition is a spooky--if not wholly convincing--story of a rift in the fabric of fate. Canadian actress Cynthia Preston is a young Seattle reporter (that explains the constant drizzle) for a supermarket tabloid of paranormal phenomena, but these fictions are nothing compared to the strange events that erupt around her. Glass and ceramics shatter in her presence, earthquakes and hurricanes erupt around her, and a web of glowing blue energy beams crisscrosses the city above her home. Not that anyone notices, even her morose roommate (Adrian Paul of the Highlander TV series), who picks up the wreckage from their apartment's most recent lashing completely unfazed. It's up to her cynical, disillusioned editor (Christopher Lloyd) to dig through the mysterious pieces of her secret past. Wilding's funereal solemnity almost smothers the story, which loses momentum in a laughable third-act metaphysical "explanation," but the uneasy tension and creepy mood carry the film through even its most unconvincing developments. The film was originally titled the more accurate Convergence (the premonitions here are rare, but the film concludes in an eerie, if all-too-neat convergence of its haunted trio). --Sean Axmaker Amazon.com

Save Your Money

Not even Adrian Paul can save this one! His part was awful, (the character, not him personally). The budget for making the film must not have included enough to pay for lighting. This movie proves that there are some things that are better in the dark. Save your money on this one. August 6, 2007

it's okay for a rental

the ending leaves you with the thought of a parallel universe. It was like a time warp and "what if" things turned out this way? August 21, 2005

`Se7en or Sixth Sense?

Premonition is a good thriller in the line of Se7en but with a something like The Sixth Sense, also it has a good cast and direction. July 23, 2001
