Day 27:Premonition

    Three hippie musicians move into a remote cabin outside of San Francisco. They come across strange red flowers and even mistakenly smoke them. Each of the band members begins to suffer hallucinations of their deaths. But are they hallucinations? Or are they premonitions of what’s in their future.

      Premonition is weird. There’s no other way of looking at it. The movie ended and I asked myself what exactly I just watched and was there a point? The horror is understated and characters take center stage in this one. The characters though, are about as interesting as year old stale Cheerios. Yes, they are rock musicians but that’s about all that you’re actually going to remember about them coming away from this.

      It does have a couple things going for it though. The music is a mix of jammy rock n roll and eerie synth. Live performance scenes are fun including psychedelic color and dancing hippies. The hallucinations bring a great atmosphere of genuine dread and doom. It’s just a shame that all of this gets lost in a sea of boredom.
