Premonition
Yet another addition to the so-called J-horror genre, and a reasonably satisfying one. Based on the Manga by Jiro Tsunoda, Professor Satomi's life is turned upside down when he reads his daughter's obituary one morning, only to have it come true later that day, when she is killed in a car accident. Three years later and he is still devastated by the tragedy, and estranged from his wife who believes he is psychologically unbalanced - until she too becomes haunted by the doom-predicting newspaper, and a spate of unexplained murders. Creepy stuff.
