This is one of those rare franchises where the sequel is better than the original. We see Alex’s descent into madness as death becomes his nemesis and he escapes to a cabin in the woods with the help of his friend Clear (Ali Larter), who believed in him from the plane accident. As the film goes on, the deaths become more and more elaborate compared to his friend Tod’s demise due to strangulation to his teacher’s death sequence which saw her computer explode, followed by a knife to the chest which was pushed in by a chair. The film brings something new to the table while also paying homage to previous franchises such as the welcome cameo by Tony Todd who works as a mortician.
It doesn’t end there however as the survivors start to die one by one in violently crazy ways as death seeks its revenge.
Minutes after the plane takes off, it explodes and Alex finds himself under police investigation. Alex freaks out and is escorted off the plane along with several of his classmates. He suddenly has a graphic premonition that sees the plane explode and every passenger diminishes. We follow recent graduate, Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) who is venturing off to Paris with his classmates. Here are my reviews for each installment: With the news that the studios have sixth and seventh installments planned for release, it made me think back on the films that helped shape my love for horror and I thought it would be a nice idea to see where they would rank. The protagonist then prevents them and their friends going through with the premonition only to discover that the group starts to die violently and mysteriously one by one. The basic set-up follows a teenage protagonist and their friends on some sort of adventure or activity when the protagonist suddenly has a tragic premonition that sees their demise. The Final Destination franchise is almost a passage of rite for teens and have been massively popular since the first installment dropped in 2000.
The franchise that was one of my first introductions to the horror genre.
