The Premonition (1975)

Dir. Robert Allen Schnitzer



This movie is very unusual. The plot is hard to explain. A woman (who is crazy) is trying to find her daughter who was taken away from her and put into a foster home. The woman is living with an insane mime boyfriend. The woman has telekinetic powers and finds her child. The foster mother catches the woman trying to steal back her child, and fights her. The woman flees without her child but takes a baby doll instead. Then a bunch of twisted insane shit happens next that would ruin the movie for you if I told you any more. I'll just say that a lot of hallucination sequences take place (which is always great), the acting is amazing, and a Indian parapsychologist gets up in the mix. The psychotic mime boyfriend is played by the criminally underrated actor Richard Lynch who has also starred in tons of great movies including The Baron, and Alligator II: The Mutation. His performance in this movie is simple but powerful. I recommend watching anything he's involved in. Available at I Luv Video in the horror section, DVD and VHS.
