Scary??????

Rating: 2/10 (3 September 2003)

This movie wasn't scary. In order for a movie to be scary there needs to be suspense. When the movie gives the order of the deaths before they happen you know who gets it and when. Where's the suspense?
This movie was just an excuse for gore. Nothing scary, funny or intelligent in this one. The writers of this movie thought they were clever but were far from it. I hated this movie so much.
The plot was totally stupid. I got it after reading the box or hearing the characters say over and over that you can't cheat death. If you are supposed to die you are supposed to die no way to beat it. But even here they are inconsistent. So many plot holes in this one - the premise at least needs to work and it doesn't. Why was one character not able to comment suicide yet and another was? Answer: because it was convenient for the story.
This movie was just an excuse to show as much gore as possible. They would try to scare you that one gory thing would happen but another did. Very tasteless excuse to be as gory as possible. Why couldn't death just make someone stop breathing? No, they had to torture someone by having them go through hell at the dentist office then squash them like a tomato - a kid none the less. They had to totally drag out a decapitation. Even the crash scene at the beginning was way over done - everyone had to die a gross way in the crash.
My stepson said it best: I've seen this movie before. It was called Final Destination 1. I myself didn't see Final Destination 1 before, but believe it because nothing in this movie seemed clever even watching this sequel to an 'original' movie I hadn't seen.
At least in Friday the 13th there was Jason, in Night Mare on Elmstreet there was Freddy, in Halloween there was Michael Meyers, and even in Childs Play there was Chuckie - there was no visible bad guy in this one.
This movie was total garbage even by horror movie standards. I felt disgusted with myself for even watching this crap. A friend borrowed me this DVD - thank god it was his money not mine. If you want to see horror and be scared see Freddy vs Jason instead of this piece of garbage. Did I say I HATED this movie yet???
