Tony's Comments

From the creators of  "The X-Files" comes "Final Destination" a different spin on your typical teen slasher flick. Alex (Devon Sawa) and his school buddies are about to take a flight to Paris when he has a premonition that their plane will crash. He tries desperately to warn everybody but only achieves in having himself and his friends thrown off the flight. Shortly after takeoff the plane does in fact explode and Alex together with his friends have escaped death. But the thriller kicks into high gear when in no time at all the survivors are mysteriously killed off, one at a time. Will Alex survive the horror that awaits him? Well, if you want to find out, you will just have to watch the heart-stopping chills and thrills unfold in this bizarre teen thriller. A number of well know teen actors are featured in this offbeat thrill-ride including, Kerr Smith (Dawson's Creek), Ali Larter (Varsity Blues) and Sean William Scott (American Pie, Road Trip, Dude Where's My Car?).

"Final Destination" was a surprise hit. Made for $23million, it clocked up a neat $53.3 million at the US box office. One thing is for sure "Final Destination" is a film that will not show up on any In-flight entertainment schedules in the near future. If you're a fan you will just have to wait for the next installment "Final Destination 2" which will be terrifying cinema audiences in 2003.
