Our take
Premonition is a sombre supernatural thriller built around grief, confusion, and a marriage under strain. A car crash and its aftermath sit at the centre, with blood and body detail that are brief but upsetting. Depression, drinking, and uneasy domestic scenes add weight, while language stays mostly mild. We land at 13 and up because the dread and loss land hard even when the gore stays limited
Uplifting themes
Holding a family together through fear and confusion still matters. The film values care and honesty even when the answers stay murky A few allies try to steady the household and listen when the days stop making sense. Others make selfish choices under the same pressure
Story (may spoil tone)
A depressed housewife who learns her husband was killed in a car accident the day previously awakens the next morning to find him alive and well at home, and then awakens the day after to a world in which he is still dead.
