Final Destination (2000)

A teenager leaves his class' plane for France after a vision that showed him an accident, and those who followed him out begin to die in bizarre accidents one by one.

'Final Destination' is the clever start to a popular supernatural horror film franchise. Far from being perfect, the film at least has plenty of originality and a team of actors from the well-known and popular generation of the 2000s. The deaths are ingenious and the screenwriters tried hard to make our expectations full of suspense, irony and surprises.

Director:  James Wong    
With: Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, Kristen Cloke, Seann William Scott, Tony Todd, Brendan Fehr, Amanda Detmer, Roger Guenveur Smith, Daniel Roebuck

Rating: 9/10
