Short, sharp, intense, clever and bloody

You would be forgiven for thinking that there couldn't possibly be any more great horror movies after Scream 3. But this proves that wrong. Final Destination tells the story of a group of friends on a school trip to Paris. One of them Alex has a vision of them all being killed in a plane explosion and manages to get six of his friends off the plane before it actually explodes. What they didn't know was it was their fate to be on that plane and now Death makes a new plan for them. In Death's new plan the seven fall victim to some twisted and brilliant "accidents" This is quite simply enjoyment at it's highest. The cast all do well, it's jumpy in places and manages to keep the tension. The dialogue is often witty and the deaths and effects are quite simply excellent. All in all a knockout picture highly recommended for any horror fan.
