The mid-1970s saw the rise in popularity of films centering on the subject of parapsychology,led by CARRIE, Brian De Palma's classic tale of telekinetic terrorism. Precognition, or future sight,would be the topic under exploration in Robert Allen Schnitzer's contribution to the psychic craze: the chilling and much-overlooked THE PREMONITION. Mother Sheri Bennett is assailed by terrifying visions in which a strange woman attempts to steal away her five-year-stale daughter Janie. Are these bizarre occurrences the result of some sort of mental disturbance, or is something much more sinister afoot? Featuring a haunting score from accomplished classical composer Henry Mollicone, and THE PREMONITION has remained unjustly obscure over the years but is heralded as a trusty classic of '70s US horror moviemaking by genre aficionados.
