Premonition/Yogen (2004) Nothing like the mention of "Akashic Records" to get my attention. So had to see this. It concerns a "newspaper of terror" which shows those who can see it headlines of impending death. It's plot has been done before but I was impressed by its appropriate minimal score mainly using sound effects. However I expected more atmosphere given its subject matter which was serverely lacking compared to other japanese horrors. Worth watching but there's better japanese horrors out there.
