Final Destination

Pros: Very scary, very clever and definately the most horrific plane accident on film
Cons: The ending, the multilayering

Pros: Good effects, sudden frights that chill
Cons: the plot gets lost...crooked as a sidewinder

(2004 update***This was my first review way back in 2000 when I thought reviews were supposed to be short. I have opted not to change it so it can retain its original form.) Devon Sawa and entourage(a hapless group of fellow students and ...

Pros: Gory violence, if that's your thing
Cons: Bad acting, mediocre writing, no big surprises

Final Destination is the type of teen horror that flourished in the late '80s and has been USA Up All Nite fodder ever since. It owes less to newer movies like Disturbing Behavior than to the Reagan-era slasher genre, and in true fashion,...

Pros: One or two good scenes
Cons: Weak plot, unrealistic even for fantasy, too much slash and gore and not enough story

I sincerely hope that this movie will not be the precursor of others in the same vein. I was truly disappointed in the film. I rented it because the summary sounded interesting: a group of people escape disaster when one person has a premonition, but...

Pros: All of the reasons I have for paying to see movies were satisfied in this one!
Cons: Final Destination will not be appreciated by all for it's genre and violence.

"All our times have come
here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain... we can be like they are
...

Pros: Kudos on casting the Candy Man! Super suspenseful and scary
Cons: Dialogue (but it's a horror movie on to the gore)

I'll start this off by stating that a fan of horror movies I'm not. Why? You ask. Well quite frankly, I'm a big baby. Horror movies keep me up a night, listening to every creak and crackle wondering if my time is up. That being said inexplicably I'm...

Pros: Captivating story and cast.
Cons: Only at times does it resemble other teen horror/thriller movies.

”Shh… you’ll wake the dead…”

Imagine yourself sitting on a plane, on route to a fantastic trip. You’re resting comfortably in your seat, and drift off to sleep as the plane prepares for take off. Now imagine that you have a horrible...

Pros: not a chance for a sequel
Cons: plot, acting, script, "scary" scenes, and uhhh everything else

I was browsing the new release section of Blockbuster the other night when I came across this movie. I do not watch much television so I had not seen the previews for it. A quick read of the plot summary on the back made me think this movie would be...

Pros: Great Thriller
Cons: I wanted more!!!!

Imagine falling asleep and having a dream that is so terrible it wakes you up. Only after you wake up you realize that things are starting to happen just like in the dream. Have you just seen your own death? Maybe!

Alex Browning (played by...

Pros: Pretty scary, a couple of really good looking guys, manner of death is something of a hoot.
Cons: Characters do predictably stupid things.

You know what I love about not being a professional movie critic? I get to like whatever movie I want to like, without fear of professional repercussions. Once in awhile I'll see a movie that the critics rave about and when I get around to seeing it, I...

Pros: gruesomely disturbing
Cons: gruesomely disturbing

This film basically is a crossover between 'I know what you did last summer' and 'The Omen'- which incidentally are my two favourite horror films of all time- as teenagers with their own neuroses and conflicts and paranoias are being picked-off one by ...

Pros: The way Death will kill you...
Cons: The acting

A pipe leaks, the oven is left on. A cold breeze blows through the room. Nothing to be too worried about, right? Wrong. No windows are open, so where did that breeze come from? And what was that shadowy reflection in the mirror? By the time you have time...

Pros: One of the best recent horror movies
Cons: Minor flaws not that big of a deal

Final Destination the movie turned out to be much better than the old game that was created a long time ago for the old NES. Of course the directors added a lot more to this sci-fi horror movie.

Final Destination is about a teenager named Alex...

Pros: Suspenseful, Good Plot Development, Original
Cons: Insensitivity to actual events.

It was a cold, rainy night in the middle of Autumn. I wanted to spend the evening in front of the fireplace while watching a movie. I wasn't in the mood for a comedy, it was too dreary out for that. A romance just wouldn't have hit the spot . . . so I...

Pros: Suspenseful, very realistic fx
Cons: too much cussing, no romantic liasions.

First lemme say, I had no idea what this movie was about. I was not there when they went to get it tonight. I arrived at my friend's house at 7:30 and never really thought about asking what it was about.

Having just watched it for the first...
