Premonition (2004)

Directed by Norio Tsurunta.  Written by Norio Tsurunta and Noboru Takagi.  Stars Hiroshi Mikami, Noriko Sakai.  2004, 95 mins, Rated R. Color. 1.85:1


PREMONITION is a decent Japanese horror film with some creepiness and at least one really good jump, but the acting by the lead male actor was WAY over the top, even for this genre.  It was quite distracting.  Kind of obvious in the final twist department, too.  Overall, it was simply too reminiscent of other, better Japanese horror films.  The DVD looks and sounds good, however, and there's a feature on the movie's special effects that truly surprised me:  there were effects that I had no idea were special effects. Rated R presumably for a few moments of graphic gore.
