Intense film by former minions of the X-Files

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2003)

Eerie, spine tingling and different, Final Destination proved to be one of those horror movies that didn't try to sell itself as a pure horror film. Throw in some intrigue and a ton of tension, and this film clearly brought a unique perspective on the horror genre. With a genre in decay, Final Destination really brought something different to the table. Unpredictable and breathtakingly sharp, the modes of death made you want to hide in your room for a long time. The acting was fair, but it was really the execution and style this film took upon itself to create imagery unlike any other seen. Sadly, few people try to take this film's lead, instead, they go for the classic monster/ghost story with some homely looking kid predicting all of the film's events with an aplomb a heart surgeon might have.
