The Final Destination

The fourth part of the long running franchise follows the tried and trusted formula of the three previous instalments - the film always opens with someone having a vision of an impending disaster and then they force their friends to safety minutes before disaster strikes - we have had a plane crash,a freeway pile-up,and a rollercoaster crash.

Number four brings us a spectacular accident at a racetrack.And spectacular it most certainly us as various persons are crushed by engine blocks,hit by huge flying tyres,burnt to death - well,you get the idea.The remainder of the film shows the survivors being picked off one by one as Death claims those who escaped him.The imagination and creativity put into each subsequent death scene is very inventive and elaborate - the death by lawn mower scene being just one example.Everyone dies.

The films show no sign of running out of ideas and the basic premise is a successful one.7/10
