Good idea, nothing else

Rating: 2/10 (30 January 2002)

The first fifteen minutes are brilliant: the idea of confronting death in the old magic way - FORESEEING it - but in the context of a very secular and everydaily situation as the class trip is, is hilarious and all the way until the explosion of the plane has our full participation and tension. But the rest is - crap. No character's development, no exploration in the nature of death, ridiculous 'sinister' episodes like that in the morgue or the 'paranatural' elements in death's 'revenge' - the film doesn't top the level of its boring teen protagonists. The end is the worst part of it. Because of the beginning, I give it a 2 out of 10; otherwise it would have been a complete disaster (1).
