Even with Sandra Bullock in the lead role, Premonition received praise from just 8% of its 160 reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes. With that said, it did manage to quadruple its $20 million budget when it was released nearly two decades ago.

What Is Premonition About?

In Premonition, Sandra Bullock and the late Julian McMahon star as Linda and Jim Harrison, whose marriage has found itself on the rocks. When Jim goes on a business trip, Linda is informed by the town sheriff that he has died in a car accident yet, the next morning, Linda awakes to find Jim downstairs, alive and well.

However, the day after that, Jim is dead once more, and now her daughter has strange cuts on her face. Linda soon realizes that her life is not currently being lived chronologically, which causes her a lot of trouble with the sheriff and a local doctor who come to believe she is responsible for her husband’s death. Will she be able to save him from his impending collision and, perhaps, save their marriage as well?

Criticism was primarily geared towards the film’s structure, which was essentially deemed cheap version of Memento. However, Bullock’s work was commended by some who felt she gave the film her all in spite of its clichéd script.

Rounding out the top ten in the United States are the hit sensation KPop Demon Hunters, Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, The Perfect Neighbor, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Despicable Me 3, 2009’s Law Abiding Citizen, and Life of the Party, starring Melissa McCarthy and Molly Gordon. Will you be watching one of those, or can you see yourself giving Premonition a shot in the future?
