The Final Destination

The fourth installment to the franchise is hardly distinguishable from the fifth (which would put the franchise on hiatus for more than a decade). Offering no standout performances or all that memorable deaths, The Final Destination is just plain bad. Our big event, which a handful of characters avoid, is a car crash at a racecourse filmed in ways mostly to make the debris shoot out towards the audience in 3D. The utterly bland Nick (Bobby Campo) is responsible for saving a few of his friends and some strangers before the carnage takes everyone else. Then Death begins targeting the survivors (Nick Zano, Shantel VanSanten, Haley Webb, Justin Welborn, Mykelti Williamson, and Krista Allen) one by one.

As with the previous film, we do get an epilogue with the survivors celebrating only for Death to take the all out and close out another group incapable of escaping Death in another elaborate crash mercifully ending the movie with none of these characters continuing on to the next film.
