Above-average fright flick - **POSSIBLE SPOILER**

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2001)

A member in a collection of movies I call 'drugstore movies,' movies likened to the mass-market paperback novels you find in drugstores. 'Final Destination' has essentially a pretty trite scenario that is not unlike the recent wave of '90's 'Scream' inspired horror movies, most of them very dismissable (like the dismal 'Valentine'): teens get stalked by psycho-killer. Except this time the killer is death itself! I guess Hollywood ran out of freaky costume masks for its killers to wear.
Now I rarely jump out of my seat, but I did here. Multiple times. Kind of like quick sex! Truly frightening moments and above-average, way cool death scenes, combined with a thin plot you don't really have to pay that much attention to, make for a rather satisfying piece of entertainment.
