What Parents Need to Know
About Premonition
Parents need to know that if they're looking for the usual bright-faced, charming Sandra Bullock, this dark thriller will be disappointing and potentially confusing. As a new widow reliving the week of her husband's death out of sequence, it's unclear whether Bullock's character is insane, in a drug-induced hallucination, or living in a parallel universe. Several disturbing scenes include seeing a car that has just been crushed, a bloody electrocuted bird, a severed head tumbling out of a casket, a woman being committed to a psychiatric hospital, and a child's wounded face after an accident. The film never reaches a "horror" level of graphic images, but it's certainly too creepy for tweens.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about thrillers with plot twists. What's the appeal of having a big "surprise" at the end of the movie? Are those surprises always satisfying? Why or why not? What do you think really happened at the end of this particular movie? Families can also talk about life and death and second chances. When given the chance to relive otherwise mundane moments with her husband again, how does Linda act differently? What would you do differently if you had a second chance with someone who's gone?

5 stars for anyone over 13
I LOVED this movie. It's not the best to show kids under 12 or 13, but it's a great thriller with a shocking twist. There is a very important message in the end, and it meant a lot to me...

I had to watch it two times to understand. But the movie kept me intrested in what was going to happen next.

a pretty good psychological thriller
I have been looking for a movie that would scare me that was not a disgusting hack-and-slash movie. I picked up this movie because of the words psychological thriller on the front, which one of my favourite scary movies, the sixth sense, is classified as. Though it was a pretty good movie, it didn't scare me. I don't think this would be an issue for 13+ to see it. There are a few bad words, and some implying of sex, and some violence, but it really isn't that bad. That part when she sees the severed head, it happens so quickly that I didn't even get a glimpse of it, and I doubt anyone would see it unless they hit the pause button. She does drink wine, but not excessively, and it never shows her taking the lithium. The protagonists' husband cheats on her, but then decides that what he did was wrong. A child runs through a sliding glass window, and her face is pretty bloody, then afterwards she has scars on her face. If you have a problem with blood, you may want to hide your eyes at this point ;-). The ending can be kind of confusing, but I won't give anything away. Overall a pretty good movie, though not very scary.

I have a premontion that this was a waste of money...
If you're looking for a good horror like I was, then try looking somewhere else. This movie had no point, made no sense, was boring, and had an extremely weak ending. Why Sandra Bullock chose to act in this garbage is beyond me...

Confusing an ultimately pointless
Summed up: this movie is pretty much a waste of time. I didn't gain anything from it and it didn't really interest me. There are much more worthwhile movies to spend your money on.

I didn't get it
Following this movie was very difficault although it had some coll creepy parts with mild language and and violance. If you watch this you NEED to pay attention to EVERY word they say. Pretty good.

Thought provoking / Interesting
Not the most entertaining movie in the world. But we enjoyed trying to guess how it would end, together. Some kids might be kind of freaked out about the thought of premonitions. It's one of those things that you can believe it happens but have no idea how. That might be disturbing for some. But we enjoyed it.

A must watch video!
I found this movie quite confusing, but also good movie. There are some parts that young children should not see like the decapitation of jim head after the people drop the casket at the funeral and when the little girl runs into the glass door. I found it terribly upset when (Sanadra) tried to stop (Jullian) from dying bu he ended up dying in the end anyways.

Good movie
This movie was NOTHING like the previews. There was a lot on suspense and not enough result. There are constant flashes of scary images. I am 13 and saw it with my 12 year old friend. she loved it. we both hate scary movies and did not have nightmare from this. -iamhere_now

Enjoyable...
I would have to say this is a bit of a chick flick. This is a movie that I think only teen girls and moms/ female adults would understand. However, I really enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty good. It will be really confusing if you don't pay attention but I really liked it.

I got depressed
Its very depressing. Its like a violent version of Bullocks movie The Lake House. This is a bad movie. Bullocks first movie of the year is not working out well. Its very shocking. please read this before going to the theater! If you want to see it at all its probably best for dvd. Its very intense. Linda played by Sandra Bullock has a daughter that goes threw glass. Its very bloody when that happens. Thanks for reading my review!

It kept me on the EDGE OF MY SEAT!
This was a great exciting movie and even though it says that the violence is moderate, you really do not see much at all! 14 Year Old...

I laughed, I cried
Saw this movie yesterday with my 2 younger brothers and we all said it was a awesome movie and that Sandra Bullock did an incredible job. It had a few jumpy parts but as far as the story line goes you need to pay attention to every single scene of the movie. It's like reading a mystery book.
