Premonition

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Premonition is a 2007 American drama film directed by Mennan Yapo and starring Sandra Bullock and Julian McMahon where Linda Hanson (Sandra Bullock) lives the days of an eventful week in her life out of chronological order.

Not to be confused with the J-Horror film Yogen (Premonition is its English title).


Tropes used in Premonition include:
  • Everyone Loves Blondes: The main character's husband about to cheat on her with a blonde.
  • Unstuck in Time: The premise of the film.
  • You Can't Fight Fate: Happens constantly throughout; Linda will usually discover something odd only to find herself later causing or (at least being unable to stop) it, despite whatever measures she takes, such as with her husband's death at the end.
  • Her Heart Will Go On: The main character manages to reconnect with her husband and does try to save his life before ending up pregnant with their third child.
