The Premonition is a 1976 American psychological horror film produced and directed by Robert Allen Schnitzer, and starring Richard Lynch, Sharon Farrell, Danielle Brisebois, and Jeff Corey.

One night, Andrea breaks into the Bennetts' home and Sheri finds her cradling Janie in her bedroom, clad in a red dress.

Lt. Mark Denver begins searching for Andrea, and visits her father to get additional information on her whereabouts.

During a rainstorm one night, Sheri departs with Janie to meet with Miles and Jeena at the university, but her car begins to act of its own accord, causing her to crash.

At the carnival, Lenore, a fortune teller, attempts to call police and report they have found Janie, but Jude murders her before she can.

As Sheri's performance reaches its crescendo, Janie appears, walking through the crowd and toward her mother before collapsing from exhaustion.

Author and film critic Leonard Maltin awarded it two out of four stars, calling it "mediocre", and writing, "[its] Muddled script works against [the] eerie atmosphere in this supernatural tale.

[5] The Terror Trap gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, writing, More atmospheric than plot driven, Premonition is a valiant effort at ambient fearmaking, but it comes up just a little short due to a convoluted and confusing tie-up.

[9] TV Guide gave the film two out of five stars, writing, "Blessed with a strong cast--especially Farrell and Lynch--and an excellent use of location, The Premonition is an effectively creepy film which successfully preys on very real fears without exploiting the situation for cheap thrills.

At times talky and a bit slow-moving, the film nonetheless builds tension steadily and contains several unforgettably eerie scenes.
