Death, you've become predictable in your old age

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2005)

Kimberly (AJ Cook from "Tru Calling") is taking a trip with her friends. While driving she has a premonition of a massive road accident that kills her, her friends, and a great many other people. Back on the on-ramp, she's pulled over by a cop for blocking traffic. Saving her friends as well as a few others who were fated to die in the accident. But Death, like in the original, is a bitch and comes for them one by one. Kim also makes a visit to Clear Rivers (Ali Larter from the original). Substituting inventiveness with more gore, this film is lacking the wit that Glen Morgan and James Wong gave the first one and their non-involvement is surely missed. Hopefully this will be remedied by the third film, but only time will tell.
