How was Premonition received?
Rotten Tomatoes displayed an 8% Tomatometer from 160 critic reviews and a 50% Popcornmeter from more than 250,000 ratings when checked on October 8, 2026. These are dated, changeable aggregator figures, not permanent measures of the film’s reception.
Rotten Tomatoes’ critics consensus describes the film as “Overdosing on flashbacks, and more portentous than profound, the overly obtuse Premonition weakly echoes such twisty classics as Memento, The Sixth Sense, and Groundhog Day.” Those titles are comparisons made by the site’s consensus; they should not be taken to mean the films share the same plot or genre.
