The Premonition (1975)
Despite Arrow's inlay notes and an introduction from Stephen Thrower telling us that The Premonition is a 'true classic of 70's US horror' and a film loved by 'genre aficionados', this tale of rival families and parapsychology bored me senseless.
I don't recall any horror whatsoever, it felt like Channel 5 afternoon drama except from the seventies. Although there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the film it's snail pace and lack of shocks made it redundant.
I can imagine a lot of people being extremely disappointed having paid £40+ for this as part of Arrow's American Horror Project three film box set.
