With the premonition debut 6: Blood Ties, which is already on display in Brazilian theaters, we ranked the entire horror franchise
Almost 15 years after its closure, one of the greatest horror cinematic franchises is back on the big screen: Premonition 6: Blood Ties It is already on display in Brazilian theaters, reintroducing the saga to fans and introducing it to a new audience that was probably not even alive when the first Premonition It arrived in theaters.
To celebrate the debut, the Rolling Stone Brazil It has reassured all the movies – including the sixth chapter, whose criticism you can check by clicking here – and listed the franchise from its worst to its best release so far. Next, check out our definitive ranking of Premonition:
6th Premonition 4
To Premonition 4 Being a good movie, it would still need to improve a lot, with good performances, decent special effects, charismatic and well -developed characters, an exciting initial accident and a script that would make you care about the narrative and the victims of death.
From afar, this is the worst movie of Premonition. Production directed by David R. Ellis (of Premonition 2) was the first in the franchise A, all the cost, inserting irritating special effects that would justify tickets for 3D sessions – unfortunately, creating sequelae in the next two chapters of the franchise – and, 15 years after the release, ended the hype About technology, it only proves how the movie has aged very badly.
The protagonist, Nick O’BannonI had a portency to be one of the best visionaries in the franchise – especially for getting tips on what all deaths would look like – but the weak performance of Bobby Field (Panic: The TV series) did not convince. – Felipe Grutter
5th. Premonition
Arriving at the turn of the millennium, Premonition He played with something that was in the head of many at that time: what the future would be like. In this case, a very specific future: the tragic end of a group of students on a trip to Paris.
Aboard the plane, Alex browning (Devon Sawa, Heart Eyes) has a view that the plane will explode and everyone will die. Desperate, he leaves the aircraft and, in the middle of the confusion, some colleagues accompany him. As predicted, the accident happens and, in the following months, death is determined to collect the lives that escaped it on the fateful day of premonition.
Without pretending to establish a definitive path to a franchise, the first Premonition embarked on the wave of slasher Using one’s own death as the great serial killer from history, differentiating it from franchises as Nightmare, Friday 13, Killer toy and Panicand conquering fans of the genre with a little deep story, but enhanced by a suspense of arresting the chair and violent and very satisfactory deaths. – Henrique Nascimento
4th. Premonition 6: Blood Ties
It made no sense to bring PremonitionBack, almost fifteen years after its closing in theaters, and make the same beans with rice already seen by fans. Happily, Premonition 6: Blood Ties He understood this very well and delivered a nostalgic story that crosses the entire franchise, connecting the movies, but also opens numerous possibilities for the future.
In the sixth movie, Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Flash) It begins to have scary dreams with a skyscraper accident in the 1960s. By investigating the story, she finds that dreams are actually a premonition of her grandmother, who saved many people thanks to vision. However, as a consequence, death began to pursue the survivors and their descendants – and now it has been Stefani.
The Great Trump of Premonition 6 It is in its initial premise: for the first time, someone who has not deceived death directly is paying for someone else’s mistakes who, in fact, managed to escape, which leads us to think about how death truly acts. The vision of the grandmother of Stefani Was it the first? If so, why did death choose it? And were all the following premonitions consequences of this?
If these answers will come one day, we have to wait to know, but it is exciting the possibilities coming from the new movie – especially if we consider that it is the chapter with the best approval of the whole franchise and, in the world of cinema, this can only mean one thing: premonitions have certainly not over yet. – HN
3rd. Premonition 2
If the first movie introduced a classic horror franchise, Premonition 2 consolidated it for good. The opening accident of the feature joined the imagination of every fan of the saga – after all, who has never traveled by car and was afraid to be behind a cargo truck, especially if he is packed with tree trunks?
If in the first Premonitionschool friends joined to try to overcome death, the sequel showed complete strangers gathering to understand what the hell was happening. An instant classic of terror, Premonition 2 It is very well resolved with your protagonist (AJ Cookfrom Criminal Mindsrocks like Kimberly Corman), the return of Clear Rivers (Ali Larter, Heroes) Like the guide of the new group of survivors, after being the only one to come out with the first movie, and good special effects, which are sustained to this day.
The movie still stands out in a list of better deaths from the franchise (even if we take the opening scene!) Tim Carpenter (James Kirk, She is the guy) crushed by a platform, Kat Jennings (Keegan Connor Tracy, The Magicians) with the head crossed by a PVC pipe after the car airbag is activated by accident or Rory Peters (Jonathan Cherry, Will it?) quartered by barbed wires, who flying after an explosion. – FG
2nd. Premonition 5
As it was not very well at the US box office, Premonition 5 It may have been responsible (indirectly) because the franchise was without releases for 14 years. However, in retrospect, you can say that the fifth chapter was widely harmed by the bad reputation of its predecessor and, in fact, is one of the best in the entire franchise.
Although not as unanimous as the third chapter, the film has an extremely positive balance. Yes, there is the problems with special effects focused on 3D, especially in the opening accident, but it is possible to ignore problem because they still convince.
In addition, the deaths are also quite creative: hot oil that melts all skin, exposed fracture in gym training, overheating in refractive surgery equipment, head crushed by a Buddha in an acupuncture session, etc.
Bringing unprecedented to the franchise, Premonition 5 It also stands out not only for focusing on the persecution of death to disaster survivors on the bridge, but for making room to approach the relationship in crisis of Sam Lawton (NICHOLAS D’UGUAN, Gotham) and Molly Harper (Emma Bell, The Walking Dead) and the decline of health Peter Friedkin (Miles Fisher, The politician), who could not deal with everything that happened after the protagonist’s view.
Finally, the plot twist In the end it is surprising and ties production with previous franchise projects. Point for you, Premonition 5. – FG
1st. Premonition 3
After Premonition 2 tie the story of Premonitionthe mission of Premonition 3 It was bringing a novelty as exciting as his predecessors while, if he failed, he could end the franchise in a dignified way – and it worked.
Although not the best rated film by specialized critics, Premonition 3 Won the fans with a captivating protagonist – lived by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim Against the World, Birds of prey: Harlequin and its fantilic emancipation), one of the franchise’s greatest exponents – news in the franchise mythology – as new ways to escape death – and even more creative and memorable deaths.
In this last question, the highlights go to friends Ashley Freund (Chelan Simmons, Tucker and Dale against Evil) and Ashlyn Halperin (Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, Black Christmas), which were burned alive in an artificial tanning hall, and ERIN ULMER (Alexz Johnson, Instant Star), which was shot in the head with a nail pistol. Unforgettable! – HN
