Better than the first.

Rating: 7/10 (2 February 2003)

There is 2 elements that clash with this film. One the horror gore element, and 2nd the philosophy part. Yes there is a philosophy in this madness. The horror gore element will evolve into the modern Friday the 13th sequals. I can see Final destination 12 years form now with young people dieing in more dramatic fashions with each film. Instead of a Goalie mask, and the woods as the fear stimulus, we got death and fate against us. The first film was wimpy, especially the lead character, the new film picks up speed, and believe me the momentum will pick up with each film. The pilosophy part of the film is about fate or absolutism verses free will and choice. I believe if Death has a design and people out living there fate makes a time ripple against its own ends there would be no way to stop it, and the characters efforts would be useless. The film makers create chaos theory were random event can create an order that has great effects on individuals. The plate of pasta, and the gas turn off would be 2 examples of this. The film has its usual gross outs, and sick humor. In the end, I give it a 7/10
