Final Destination

Pros: some decent adrenaline, creative deaths
Cons: sequences repetitively too long, some flat characters

Final destination is a mix of long-winded "which way will they die" and some spurts of adrenaline. This is slightly complimented by truly annoying moments, like when Death comes in human form to tell these students that they can't escape the...

Pros: Starts off well
Cons: Plot makes no sense; the end is a joke.

I watched this movie because its basic premise looked interesting: a group of young people are about to set off on holiday when one of them (Alex) falls asleep on the plane just before take-off. In his sleep he has a premonition of the plane exploding...

Pros: Some scary scenes, certain parts kept me on the edge of my seat
Cons: Been there, done that

Last year, when I saw a preview for Final Destination I thought, "I've got to see this movie when it comes out." A couple of weeks ago, I had an opportunity to see the movie, but never made it to the theatre (talk about foreshadowing). So, I...

Pros: smart, original premise
Cons: boring characters, gets increasingly silly as it goes

The killers in teen slasher flicks can generally be divided into two basic types. There’s the “killer with personality”, a cocky, memorably larger-than-life force who tends to taunt his victims with malicious wisecracks and bad puns while killing them...

Pros: One of the scariest films seen so far this year
Cons: Death to other characters don't seem to bother them

Finally, Hollywood is wising up. In the past, way past, the Horror section of most video stores was filled with horribly bad flicks. Then "Scream" came out, and Hollywood found out that if you make a good slasher flick, be sure it has good...

Pros: Great Story. Good Acting. Realistic Gore. True Nail Biter. NO PORN!
Cons: Some Nasty Parts.

Ok, so I'm not that good at reviewing movies but give me a chance. I have seen this movie twice and I can still remember about everything (death wise). Please note that if you are about to see this please don't read the plot part because that will spoil...

Pros: Intense and edgy
Cons: script plot/characters

You know, I'm not one to really let a movie affect how I do things in my life, but this one, it made me think twice.

I love to fly...I travel all over the world but this movie was pretty intense. Now that's not to say that I thought this...

Pros: The suspense, smart plot, everything
Cons: what happens after the credits scroll? why can't we see?

Just as Destiny has somewhat of a blueprint or technical drawing of our lives, our futures, our failures and conquests...Death has our fates mapped out. Only if you learn to recognize the signs of death will you be able to escape or "cheat"...

Pros: very interesting, good plot
Cons: still one of those teeny bopper movies

When I heard about the movie Final Destination being released, I just had to see it. I love horror movies. The previews of this movie seemed scary enough. So I rented it.

Even the first few scenes will grab your attention. Especially if...

Pros: Great creative plot, interesting, fast-paced, good effects, etc.
Cons: Some scenes very graphic {i.e. lots of blood}

At a party after homecoming someone threw in Final Destination. Big deal, I thought, this will be another lame "teen slasher flick". Boy was I ever wrong! Final Destination is nothing of the sort, in addition it has a creative plot and...

Pros: Interesting concept
Cons: Writing, Lame actors

If you're ever in a room, and the wind picks up bringing scattering leaves with it, you're about to die. This is how Death announces his arrival in one's life (or shall I say, the end of it), in "Final Destination". Don't expect to be as...

Pros: a couple of decent scenes
Cons: lots of blood and gore

This movie really freaked me out. I have never been a big fan of scary movies. So last night when my husband suggested we see Final Destination, I figured it wouldn't be a scary movie because he knows I don't like them. What I didn't know was that it...

Pros: Very interesting re: fears of others
Cons: none

Final Destination and A Stir Of Echos have a lot in common. I could write about the movies themselves, but, everyone already has. . .so, I want to give an opinion regarding the effect that 'seeing' into the future or into the past seems to have on people...

Pros: Interesting/different take on a tired teenage horror genre.
Cons: Some of the "scares" too easily given away.

Horror flicks starring gorgeous teenagers have become as frequent as movies starring Donald Sutherland. No matter how old they get, they keep showing up in movies, over and over and over and over and over.

At first glance I had destined...

Pros: Interesting, well-acted thriller that defies genre conventions -- a surprisingly good film
Cons: Bites off more than it can chew, philosophically -- and it does get a bit silly towards the climax

I can't recall having seen or heard about any other movie that featured death as the antagonist. I'm not talking about death personified, in the form of an actor like Brad Pitt or Max von Sydow, wearing a mostly black ensemble, or carrying a harvesting...
