'Premonition', the Movie.

So, after the book, comes the movie. A movie that goes by the name of 'Premonition'. And when you want to watch such a movie alone, at 1 a.m. in the night, then you better be ready to feel goosebumps, while and after the movie.

As I still am.

It is a spooky movie alrite, and that is an understatement. Without really getting into the exact storyline, it is about a lady who experiences her days in a haphazard order. So, a Thurday is followed by a Monday and so on.

The problem with this is that there are days she already knows what is going to happen, where as there are some days, which everyone else around her knows what happened, but she does not. Simply because she has not experienced that day in her life.

So, while other people's life goes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.....Sunday, hers goes in some arbit fashion. So, while the rest are experiencing a Tuesday after having experienced a Monday, she would be - for example - experiencing Tuesday, after having experienced a Thursday. So while she knows what is going to happen next and the rest do not, she does not know what happened on Monday and that surprises people.

The end, like my previous book, was a little out of place, but then, the movie does its job of delivering what it is supposed to. And it is a quick paced movie.

Sandra Bullock is the actress, and she, according to me, has taken to the role like a duck to water. The younger daughter of Bullock is exteremely cute.

This movie is for those who like to spook themselves by watching such stuff. Back home, there was a point in time when the Hindi serial, Aahat, was not a horror show, but a combination of chilling episodes of the culmination of coincidences and surprises. For those, who cannot watch the movie, for obvious reasons, you can get the whole story - from start to finish - on Wikipedia.

Just search for 'Premonition' the movie.
