Video Review: 'Dead On Sight' (1994)

If there were really as many psychic premonitions of murder as there are in low-budget suspense thrillers, the courts would be clogged with witnesses, and serial killers would march on Washington for their right to privacy. Dead on Sight stars Jennifer Beals as an aging graduate student with the prerequisite visions of the psycho who killed the wife of criminology professor Daniel Baldwin, and the story unravels in a thoroughly rote manner that can't be salvaged through any amount of false leads and misdirection. While you won't have any idea who the murderer is, the heavy-handed hints toward various suspects eventually replace suspense with exasperation. C
