Twilight Zone for Generation Y (and then some!)

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2004)

FINAL DESTINATION (2000) *** Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, Seann William Scott, Kristen Cloke, Daniel Roebuck, Chad E. Donnella, Tony Todd. Nifty horror flick with a great premise: what if you cheated death and Death decided that simply won't do? Sawa stars as a teenager who gets a strong vibe that his impending high school trip to France with his classmates is doomed and after he and six others disembark, the plane in fact explodes sending a daisy chain of Rube Goldberg designed 'accidental' deaths. Sharp screenplay by director James Wong and his collaborators Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick (the former his partner in crime on their 'X-Files' stint). Cool special effects, a few sprinkled gotcha moments and some nice inside trivia for genre buffs (i.e. characters named after horror legends Hitchcock, et al).
