You Don't Cheat The Grim Reaper

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2012)

Final Destination which spawned a veritable cottage industry of sequels like Rocky had a certain popularity among the young who really seem to have a terribly negative view of life. When young Devon Sawa has a creepy premonition and gets himself thrown off a plane bound for Paris in a class trip, a few others of his classmates and one teacher get thrown off with him.
They all see in real life exactly what Sawa saw in his vision and they count themselves horrified at seeing friends and classmates die in a spectacular way as the plane exploded. They count themselves lucky at first, but then some mysterious force best articulated by Tony Todd says that Death is a character like any other and it's got a mean disposition. There is a plan of leaving this mortal coil in a specific order and you dare not disrupt the order.
After which the rest start dropping in a series of bizarre situations and this has been the secret of the success of Final Destination and its sequels. And the deaths are properly gory and spectacular as well.
For this kind of film of which I'm not a particular fan, Final Destination is as good as it gets.
