An honest to goodness thriller

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2000)

Goodness knows I'm not in the targeted demographic for FINAL DESTINATION: I'll turn 54 next July. But I really enjoyed this movie because it had tremendous direction and a cast of talented young actors, and dealt with some weighty philosophical issues about destiny and free will.
My wife and I were the only people over thirty that I could spot at tonight's screening; ads for this movie probably make it look like a teen slasher, which it certainly isn't.
Hardcore horror fans will note that lots of the character names are also names of classic genre actors and directors. This reminds us that the films creators (most of whom are involved in one way or another with tv's THE X-FILES) have a respect and reverence for those who came before them.
I won't deal with any of the plot details, because I wouldn't want to spoil any of the surprises. Because none of these actors got $20 million for being in this film, anything can happen to anyone at any point in time.
Take a chance and check this one out.
