One of the best horror movies of 2000.

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2000)

"Final Destination" is the kind of horror film that works because it doesn't rely on maniacs running around with chainsaws(Although I did like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre").It doesn't rely on our fears by surrounding us with flesh eating zombies("Dawn of the Dead" I have to point out was a classic).And it doesn't play with our fears by throwing out scenes of sexuality in which the characters are usually killed.Instead,the movie plays with our emotions because it deals with how we can never cheat death.A group of teenagers are thrown off of a plane before it takes off because one of the teenagers has a vision that the plane explodes and begins freaking out.The survivors begin to act suspicious of the visionary young man because he seems to know when the next one will die.What's worse is that the survivors of the plane seem to be getting killed under weird mysterious circumstances.Throughout the movie,the characters are not killed by getting shot or by the hands of another person but they are killed in situations that are to weird to explain."Final Destination" works as a horror movie because it throws The Grim Reaper right at us.The entire film is about death and how some people try to cheat it."Final Destination" also works because it teases us making us think we know how one character will die but keeps us guessing and watching."Final Destination" was the kind of film that I had the pleasure to watch.Very good film that will keep some people glued to their seats.
