The best of the teen slasher films

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2000)

The film Final Destination is actually not a teen slasher film in the ways like it does not have a masked killer or a 90210 style cast, what it does have is the extremely talented team of Glenn Morgan and James Wong who did many episodes of The X Files (particularly the chilling "Home" episode). The movie Final Destination is a great hart pounding film that explores Death in many ways and is at times a touching movie (especially the first half), a film with the emotion like this one has needs a good actor in the lead role and it has that in actor Devin Sawa (who was also very funny in last years Idle Hands), the only thing about the movie is that the killer IS death and as the tag line says "you can't cheat death" so you kinda know there all going to get it in the end and the scene with Tony Todd is kinda hokey but all in all this was one of the best movies of 2000 and IS the best horror movie in a long time (it's way better than Blair Witch Project). I can't praise this movie enough, if you don't enjoy it you must be dead.
