Surprisingly good movie!

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2000)

I went to see "Final Destination" without any expectations, I havent really seen any commercials for it and theres no well known actors in it.
I was surprised on how good it was. I saw a couple of comments on the IMDb before seeing it, and noticed that it was being said to be quite the same as Scream, for instance. I do not agree.
"Scream" was the first in a series of "new" slasher movies, but it`s originallity really disappeared after the first one. The story of a serial killer has after "Scream" been portrayed in films like: "I know what you did last summer" and "Urban Legend". Another likeness amongst theese movies is that there is always young people being slayed of, and that was the only thing that annoyed me a bit about *"Final Destination" as well.
On the other hand, "Final Destination" is quite original when it comes to "the killer". Now, i won`t give anything away, but it`s really different, and if you`re ready for something else than the story of a mad serial killer doing it over and over (Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream, and hundreds of others...).
The cast is good and the best scene is in the aircraft and when Terry decides to take the bus....
Enjoy!
