The premise

While stopped at a roadside phone booth for transmitting his work through the Internet to the university, Professor Hideki Satomi finds a scrap of newspaper with the picture of his five-year-old daughter Nana in the obituary section.

Horror Vault's take

When a Japanese professor stumbles upon a tattered newspaper clipping bearing his young daughter's name in the obituary column — before any tragedy has occurred — his desperate scramble to change what may be inevitable begins. Based on a manga, this Japanese supernatural thriller weaves dread out of the terrifying idea that some futures cannot be outrun. The film leans into quiet, suffocating unease rather than loud scares, grounding its horror in a father's love pushed to its absolute limit. Fans of J-horror's emotionally devastating strain will find Premonition lingers long after the credits roll.
