Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2001)

A pretty decent horror flick, Final Destination presented an interesting story and was a nice change from the usual slice-em-dice-em teen-slasher formula.
I thought the use of "Death" as the unseen killer was particularly effective, and the movie manages to keep it's presence subtle rather than going all out with special effects and a physical portrayal.
The last time I saw Devon Sawa was in Casper and he sure has grown up. I thought the acting in general was pretty average but hey it's a horror flick, we're not after Oscar-worthy performances here.

The story as I said, was quite interesting and definitely gets you thinking. Some of the deaths were pretty disturbing and I was surprised to find myself squirming in my seat! The visuals were standard fare, nothing to rave about.
All in all, if you're a fan of the teen-slasher flick genre, you're bound to like Final Destination. I was pleasantly surprised.
