FINAL DESTINATION -the first true horror movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2005)

Final Destination was a really good film with a few surprises and lots of blood and gore, which made it a nice and decent film. The story involves a high school french class that are going on a trip to Paris. Then one of the Students-Alex(the main character)has a violent premonition that the plane will explode right after take-off. The premonition is very realistic and gory. It was very heart-pounding because the director-James Wong- put lots of work and effort into filming this movie especially the airplane sequence. Then when Alex wakes up from his vision, he tells everyone to get off and causes an argument with Carter Horton- another character. Alex and Cater get kicked off the plane along with Clear-a classmate that felt Alex's vision, Billy & Tod-Alex's Friends, Terry-Carter's girlfriend, and Ms. Lewton-a teacher that decided to stay with the students. Then when the 7 people are sitting in the lounge,Alex's vision becomes reality when the plane explodes after the take-off. Then a month later Tod- Alex's friend ends up dead. Soon the seven friends start dying in mysterious ways-as if Death had been tampered with and was looking for payback. The deaths in the movie are spectacular and are very realistic considering that there is no serial killer or maniac running around trying to kill everybody. It is about a group of normal teens ending up dead because they cheated death. What is most surprising is that the people in the movie die because of normal household items or something that you see everyday e.g.-knives,buses,trains,clothes lines,computers,etc. And the thought that being stalked by Death is just plain scary because Death is all around us everyday. That is what makes this movie a real twist in horror movies and what makes it very successful.
