An above average thriller/horror flick.

Rating: 5/10 (26 September 2000)

Although it falls well short of anything by Poe or Hitchcock, "Final Destination" is somewhat more intelligent than most films of this genre. Apparently targeting the usual teen market, this commercial thriller gets off to a good start, then lags a bit as it wallows in the usual blood and guts, and finishes somewhat better. Sawa does a good job of not over acting, supporting acting is on par, and the special effects seem almost believable. Most of all, the nemesis is never really defined which gives this film a somewhat unique mystique.
