Nice and easy splasher with some novelties

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2000)

So in the wake of the Scream-trilogy and the 'Last Summer'-splashers another teen-splash movies hits the screen.
The plot: A young teen has some inexplicable premonitions when boarding a plane with his class, gets panic and out of the plane, dragging some classmates (and a teacher) with him. Plane explodes in mid-air, and 'death' is trying to catch up and those who escaped the death pattern. All survivors (bar two ?!?) die in the following weeks and months some strange deaths.
Comment: This movie is inspired firstly by a welcome impersonal death, not some sinister serial killer hiding behind masks. Death is announced by simple means, e.g. just by a gust of wind. Next are some real nice new ways to get killed, which leaves the audience shocked, but also laughing (especially the teacher's death is quite far-fetched and complicated in the build-up, to say the least). And the whole movie is driven forward by the 'Scream'-like lurking question: "who's next?" when the protagonists try to figure out the death pattern.
Conclusion: A movie of no great impact, but some fun involved. Easy come, easy go. There are worst movies to spend your money on.
