On the fifteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister and our buddy, Zack, join me in reviewing FINAL DESTINATION 3 (2006) and THE FINAL DESTINATION (2009).
In FINAL DESTINATION 3 (2006), directed by James Wong, from a script by Glen Morgan, James Wong and Jeffrey Reddick, a high school student's premonition of a catastrophic roller coaster derailment saves her and a group of friends from the deadly accident. The student soon discovers that photographs taken at the amusement park contain cryptic clues about how Death is planning to kill the survivors in Rube Goldberg-style accidents. Despite their efforts to save the marked individuals, Death proves unstoppable, ultimately claiming all the protagonists in a second, unforeseen mass disaster. The film clocks in at 1 h and 38 m, is rated R and we caught the film on HBO Max but you can also catch it to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
The fourth film in the series, THE FINAL DESTINATION (2009), is directed by David R. Ellis from a script by Eric Bress and Jeffrey Reddick. The film follows a college student's vision of a massive, deadly pile-up at a stock car race allows him and his friends to escape the grandstand moments before it collapses. The group of survivors quickly learns that they are all on Death's list, with the initial order of their demise confirmed by the order of their subsequent horrific, over-the-top deaths. Racing against time and premonitions, the student attempts to save the remaining group from a series of elaborate accidents, only for Death's original design to catch up to the final survivors in a sudden, brutal climax. The film clocks in at 1 h and 22 m, is rated R and we caught the film on HBO Max but you can also catch it on AMC+ but also to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
