Actually better than the first - but not by much

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2006)

Like the first, this movie is based on someone, namely Kimberly Corman (Cook) having a premonition of a major pileup on the road. She parks her SUV, blocking both lanes, saving the lives of many people. But then Death starts to kill them off in a gruesome fashion once more. This movie features Ali Larter as Clear Rivers again, who voluntarily had herself locked in an insane asylum where Death "couldn't get her". The director also managed to sneak in a creepy reference between the characters in this movie and the characters in the first.
I actually liked this movie, despite how the plot sounds dumb when you first hear it. This movie accomplished what the first tried so hard at, and came so close to. The death scenes are chains of events, not just a half second of someone getting their **** ruined by a bus. It has a lot of action, good special effects, a great tie in between the two movies, and more interesting deaths (like sliced by a barbed wire fence). The actors have an okay range of emotions, and deliver good performances. This movie's got some good gore too, but nothing someone who's seen a few slashers can't take.
