Final Destination 2
For every beginning there is an end.
REVIEWED BY JAREPRIME

On the one year anniversary of the 180 plane crash, another group of strangers are going to have their own brush with fate and death. After avoiding a massive traffic accident a group of survivors must find all their ties to the past before their should-be present catches up to them, but can they figure it out before it is too late?

Final Destination 2 follows the same pattern as the first film and even carries over a character from the first installment, but it doesn't get much more right in the sequel.

The plot and the cast are a lot weaker this time around and even the Rube Goldberg like death scenes are a lot harder to swallow this time around, the best example of this is the kitchen/fire scene, but where Final Destination 2 gets it's high marks from are the kills.

There is at least three of the top kill scenes in the last five years in this movie and one that may now be my favorite of all time. The kills are incredible, gory and down right fucking brutal! I'm not yanking your chains here horror fans, the kills are great. No gorehound will be disappointed. The scene with the little kid and the plate glass slab is AWESOME, I watched it three times in slow motion. Throw in the barbed wire, some decapitations and one of the most brutal series of car crashes ever and regardless of the movie, the shear realism of some of the kills bring out the best in this one.

I have to give the movie a review of 3/10 due to the repetition of the story line and very cardboard and stereotypical cast , but the kills need to be seen to truly appreciated. I went into this film expecting more of the 90210/Dawsons horror vibe, but I was wrong, if nothing else this movie had the balls to put some splatter back on the screen and anymore you don't see too much of that.

REVIEWED BY THE HORRORIST

I have to agree completely on this one, the movie itsself is pretty much crap, but the kills are so damned entertaining it pretty much makes up for it.

From the very beginning, when everyone immediately recognized the linked deaths from the first movie, and THEN, they all immediately see it happening again. Saying it was far-fetched is a compliment. Stack on top of that Tony Todd's uncanny understanding of the entire universe, including all the loopholes and tricks, and you've got a plot that an eighth-grader could have written.

Just the same, really, really great kills. Read the above paragraph and see how disrespectful I am, then consider that I'm giving the movie a rating of 5 and you'll see just how cool them kills turned out to be.
