After this event, the seven survivors starts to get killed one by one with freak accidents. Alex and the help of his friend, Clear, has to find out when will Death starts to kill them, next.
This is one of your smarter teenage slasher films. No, it's no where like a killer chasing and killing people. But yes, it has a lot of violence. It's Death, in which you can't stop what's happening in part of life. The acting by Devon Sawa and Ali Larter were decent at best.
This movie has a very elaborate concept, in which many horror movies do not. The deaths in the movie are even foreshadowed through clues, which makes you want to look for them. You would even have to pay attention to easter eggs, like the fact that before each person dies, the same song is played.
Some deaths in the film are good, but many are more of a let down, since you "might" want them more violent. Still, they are pretty creative. I like the weird score by the composer, which gives a brooding effect through the film.
This is a smart but not a scary movie, for me at least. The deaths are good in this movie but they're not great. If you are tired of regular slasher movies where a killer kills people, then watch this movie and you'll like it.
