Starts out as a typical Japanese "scary" movie: slow, plodding, and atmospheric. Seems our married hero loses a loved one only to find a story about it in a "fear newspaper" before it happens. This leads to other incidents until he, himself, is receivng these "fear newspapers" daily with future tragedies in them. Near the end of the film the action picks up as his reality jumps, unpredicatably, from one nightmare to another. (That's when I got interested and entertained.)

If you enjoy Japanese film, "Premontion" is worth a look.
