A Most Excellent Horror/Thriller!

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2003)

This is one of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time (possibly, ever). I sat down to this movie, fearing it would fail (like many of its predecessors).
Was I ever wrong!
Alex, a high school senior, has a premonition that the plane carrying his class to Paris will never reach its final destination. As aspects of this premonition begin to come true, Alex freaks out - landing a teacher & some other students a one-way ticket off the plane. The plane blows up right after take-off, sending all on board to their final destination.
Death, furious that his "design" was cheated, pursues the survivors in the order they were intended to die. It is now up to Alex, who continues to forsee Death coming, to save his classmates & teacher. Unfortunately, nobody believes him (cliche, but works beautifully here).
One of the best elements of the film is the subtlety of Death. He does not stalk his victims with flesh-and-blood body, but through wind & shadow. The tools of his destruction are calculated & precise, using everyday items. Never before have I seen a killer so cunning.
I conclude that if you have not seen this movie, you're missing out on the genius that is Final Destination. Rent this movie - take my word on it!
