When Final Destination originally came along, it is fair to say that there was very little around that equalled or even came close to it.

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Horror films have too long been dismissed as lame slasher sequels and rather limp, brainless outings that do little more than paint the walls with gore and scantily clad women. Final Destination, however, takes another approach - instead of presenting us with a murderer behind ...  Read the complete review

The whole concept was brilliant; Death has a plan and if you manage to cheat it, ...  Read the complete review

The film follows the lives of a group of teenagers who are ...  Read the complete review

He may just be the pickiest person I know, so for him to LOVE this film is really saying something.
