Death is Coming

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2000)

A thrill ride of anticipation like you wouldn't believe, Final Destination, helmed by some of the same creative minds behind the X-Files and American Pie brings scary movies to a new level. Helmed by a promising, yet largely unknown, teen cast, Alex (Devon Sawa) is trying to prevent Death. Literally.
Complex and compelling, this film makes Death an intangible, unpredictable entity. While Alex's premonitions range from visions, to slips of paper, to reflections in glass, he's arrogant enough to think he can cheat Death and smart enough to pull it off. The premise may seem a little out there, but this is a horror film relying on a strong plot and brilliant storytelling.
A little too gory for the faint of heart's tastes, Final Destination is a constant menagerie of soon-to-be-death scenes that make your heart skip a beat. Just when you think you have the story figured out or who's going to buy the farm next, a bus rolls by or a live wire snaps to make you think otherwise. I would recommend this motion picture to someone who has a good time going to the movies and being afraid.
