Premonition (2007) (Quiz)

Oh man, so get this. I was having premonitions of my wife’s impending death, so I told the sheriff, “Hey, my wife is going to die tomorrow!” and they beat the shit out of me and arrested me. Now I don’t remember (or premonish) anything! Do you remember what happened in Premonition?

Answers

1) A truck jackknifed on the highway, he was involved in an accident, and he died instantly.

2) Right out of a I Think You Should Leave sketch his fucking HEAD FELL OFF. They are like “well … uh there was like a cut” and she’s like a what? And then he head flies out of the casket! It is incredible.

3) She sees that her husband is going to die. But it is a premonition because she appears to be living life out of order surrounding these events. So she at one point skips Tuesday, which is when she went to the doctor and told him her husband was in an accident, but that isn’t until Wednesday, and this also explains a bit about the mysterious message because she skipped a few of those days as well it would seem? This movie is ultra confusing.

4) They were running to get the laundry in because it started raining and she ran through the old plate glass window. Hey guy, maybe instead of blaming your wife for not putting up stickers you buy an actual modern sliding glass window.

5) Psych, she doesn’t obviously. Obviously. She causes the thing to happen herself like a goober. It is so obvious dummie. THINK. Use your head. C’mon now.

Bonus Answer: I’m feeling this is like … an early 2000s Playstation era action adventure game, although naturally it is stealth oriented. Think maybe like Resident Evil or Silent Hill but without the fighting aspect. You of course play as Linda Hanson, and the game opens with the realization that her husband has died in a tragic accident. You navigate the town to find clues about how your husband is to die and attempt to beat the clock in solving the mystery. Play fun mini-games like: hanging up the laundry, taking off your husband’s shoes, and throwing out a dead crow. In the end you learn a bit about fate. Ultimate review: Electronic Gaming Monthly said the plot was convoluted and confusing, and the mini-games mostly lame. But the action in the mental institution level was solid, as was the final car chase. The religious overtones will turn off some, but 4/10 overall. There is hope for this morose movie tie-in mystery.

Wow, that is somewhat better than I expected. It is called Premonition: The Game and the PS2 game was canceled after sluggish sales of the original.
