On the fourteenth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister and our buddy, Zack, join me in reviewing FINAL DESTINATION (2000) and FINAL DESTINATION 2 (2003).  

In Final Destination (2000), directed by James Wong, from a script by Glen Morgan, James Wong and Jeffrey Reddick.  The film follows a high school student who cheats death when a premonition prompts him and several classmates to get off a doomed flight moments before it explodes. Death, an unseen supernatural force, begins hunting the survivors in the order they were meant to die, using a series of elaborate, Rube Goldberg-like accidents.   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 sequel, Final Destination 2 (2003), directed by David R. Ellis from a script by J Mackye Gruber, Eric Bress and Jeffrey Reddick.  The film follows a new group of people who are saved from a massive highway pileup after a young woman has a terrifying premonition of the crash.  Realizing they are "loose ends" from the first film's disruption of Death's design, the new survivors—with help from the original's sole survivor—race to find a "new life" loophole to permanently break the chain.  Despite their best efforts to intervene and sacrifice themselves, the deadly design proves inescapable, ultimately claiming most of the survivors in creatively brutal fashion.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 30 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.
