My Review of Final Destination 5
Hello folks its that time again for people to get killed in mouse trap the board game or another impossibly old reference Pee Wee,s breakfast machine style deaths. First off I am a fan of over the top violence and gruesome scenes bit this does not make me a horror movie guy as they rely on thrills and suspense which are two things that make a already jumpy person jumpy. I had no real plan on reviewing this but the way this movie ended made(expect spoilers) not reviewing it not a option. First as with all of the final destination films there is a accident that is avoided which starts the proverbial ball rolling which was pretty cool as it happened pretty fast in the movie. They proceed to be impaled,burned,maimed and brutalized all while courtney Vance for some reason tries to get to the bottom of the obvious accidents. This is all par for the course the reason this movie made me stand up and notice is that they foreshadowed the twist in such a way that I noticed it but didnt put it together until the last second. The entire movie the fat third sklar brother who was a lothario used a ancient cell to call his ladies. I assumed this was a choice to show him as a out of touch loser who used a Star-Tac flip phone but thinks he is cool. Later on however I noticed other people using these old ass phones to which I thought "This is odd but ok fair enough" this continued until the final(ish) scene in which the guy who was supposedly safe and his girlfriend board a plane to France a fight breaks out and then it hit me "Oh Shit its the first(ish) scene from Final Destination 1" this snake eating its own tail sequel/Prequel concept was treat and not expected at all. This made a otherwise blah horror movie turn into a decent flick that had a awesome suprise at the end.
