Inventive deaths...but little else!

Rating: 4/10 (5 November 2003)

The first film was quite inventive and had an ominous atmosphere that I really liked. And the plane crash in the beginning was incredibly well made and horrifying! Here the plot is more or less the same. A girl has a vision of a huge serial car crash on the highway and of course she is a survivor among a few others. And soon enough they start dying, one by one, in some VERY implausible ways. All the death scenes are very well made, nicely built up and most of them pretty shocking. But this movie has so little else to offer. Performances are adequate at best (the heroine is pretty sympathetic though), the plot is almost non-existent and, worst, the film is pretty tedious when there are no deaths. We get a lot of mumbo-jumbo about "death's design" and "list of death", but those of us who saw the first FD will yawn and think about something else. So rent it on video or DVD so you can fast-forward to the "good parts" and skip the dull interludes.
