Final Destination on C4

[Rabid Fishie]

saw this as part of C4's "Shriek week" and was pleasantly surprised. was not expecting the guy from American Pie to get it though, I was sure he would live on for the sequel.

Thoughts?

ive seen it before but yeah its good

I saw the sequal last week, which although isnt as good, still has the nice grusome deaths

Pretty poor I thought. The plane crash at the start was very good, but it went downhill from then onwarRAB, and the death scenes just made me laugh they were so far fetched.

I think thats half the point of the film

Its not meant to be truly scary, well, at least i dont think it is! (look at the death scene for the teacher, how unlucky she was!).

Exulus is right, the deaths are meant to be far-fetched; it's a comedy-horror flick, not a documentary!

I thought FD2 was absolutely excellent - I thought the running theme behind it (ie. death is catching up with people who should have died were it not for the people who should have died in the plane crash staying alive and keepign THEM alive) was very clever and it was just as funny, and creepy, as the first.

I have to say number 2 was a lot more gory I'll just mention the kid...!

Also i suppose FD2 was better in the way it led you to falsely believe someone was going to die one way....and for them pretty much almost dieing..and then they end up dieing in a completly different way (the kid again!).

The bus scene in FD1 for me is one of the best 'splat' actions I've seen in a long time, especially when you view it in slow-mo' on the DVD
