Pros: Unique horror theme, well directed, and excellent special effects Cons: Ultimately, it's still just a well-made horror flick with only average dialogue
In all seriousness, this film should not be watched by anyone who is either on a plane or about to board a plane. First time director James Wong delivers a film that is one of the best horror movies that I have seen in quite some time. It delivers the...

Pros: Devon Sawa's character, elaborate death scenes. Cons: Too simple to keep my interest.
Do you believe in fate? According to this movie, everything that happens is part of master plan that will eventually result in death. Very grim perception is the base of this movie.
Devon Sawa stars as Alex, a high school senior who...

Pros: Unique horror movie about running from Death Cons: Weak characters along with cheesy plot
Final Destination is a movie involving several teenagers who must figure out the "design" of death in order to stay alive. The opening scene of the movie is actually impressive. Alex, the main character, is terrified about getting on...

Pros: Realistic, scary, good acting Cons: none
Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for one great ride! This is one movie that I would see again next weekend. I am NOT a fan of any Scream movie at all, but Final Destination genuinely impressed me. I was afraid I was going to be in for two hours of...

Pros: Good suspense, good plot, good direction Cons: Fair performances; unconvincing ending
Sitting on a jumbo jet awaiting takeoff for Paris, high school senior Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) has a frighteningly realistic vision of his own death on board the very aircraft. Awakening in a panic, he instigates a scuffle which results in his removal...

Pros: Good first 15 minutes... Cons: The remaining 82 minutes....
There's a difference between spooky and scary. Spooky refers to things that are ghostly, weird and/or eerie, while scary involves fright, panic and/or terror. Precognition can be both.
The story begins as a jittery teenager (Devon...

Pros: just the scary FX Cons: does not get the viewer involved in the story
That's what I think is the main point behind this movie -"Creative Ways to Get Killed".
I had been hearing a lot of generally positive buzz about this flick so I decided to catch it at the movie house. Here's what I think. ...

Pros: The shocks come thick, fast and when you least exoect it! Cons: *struggles to think* The special effects were at points unbelieveable.
Synopsis:

Pros: Interesting premise, cool effects. Cons: too many unbelievable aspects, lame cliche characterizations
Something about bad premonitions and doom scares me….hell, I think it scares everyone. Have you ever had a bad feeling about a sporting event, you just knew your team was going to lose even before the game started? Or had a forethought that a...

by Lauryl98 , Mar 20 '00
Pros: REALLY scary... Cons: May be too intense for wusses (like me!)
Fifteen minutes into this movie, I wanted it to end. Really. Not because it was not interesting to me, because it was. Not even because I thought it was going to be a bad movie, because I could tell that it was going to be pretty good. I wanted this...

Pros: amazing special effects, with a great story and "the point" Cons: the middle drags and the end is quite predictable
Final Destination is a rather funny movie. Not funny in a ha-ha way, but funny it that the first 15 minutes are spectacular, but then quickly spirals down into a boring and rather formulaic middle (which can't even be saved by an appearance from the...

Pros: suspensful, unpredictable, scary.. Cons: none
We've all heard stories about it. Death coming back at those who escape the 'plan'. The design that is our destiny. It's always fascinated me. So when I heard of Final
Destination, I had to see it.

Pros: Very Interesting plot, well carried through. Cons: Very predictable at times.
When I first saw the commercials for "Final Destination" on television, I thought it looked like another "Scream" style teen slasher film. Well, at the encouragement of an Epinions friend of mine, and some buddies at home, I was able...

Pros: Frightening and thought provoking Cons: Needed a more sophisticated, plausible "design", by its own theory, the movie could not end but with one solitary result.
Alex Browning (David Sawa of Idle Hands) is a seventeen year old high school senior on his way to Paris, France with his class. However even before arriving at the airport in New York City, strange happenings occur, providing us with foreboding images...

Pros: Awesome graphics Cons: Some parts hokey
I went to this movie because it was the only one vaguely familiar to me from previews. The movie wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I thought that these would be a bunch of kids who cheated death and then took great risks because they thought they...
