I love thinking about freakish death scenarios like in the films, probably because I consider myself a very careful person, and it's nice to know the possibilities upfront before they happen. That's why it's good to have common sense!
I watched this a long time ago when it was in tv pre streaming and with the new movie want to rewatch and experience the sequels, I love the scares despite never wanting to go in a plane cuz if this movie
I Will do they same as Octavio Ferreira and i Will give my opinion in my original lenguage, maybe some latín people read this, siempre eh amado esta película, es ilógica, es demasiado exagerada y demasiado irreal, y es eso lo que le da ese toque, lo que lo hace tan entretenida y disfrutable, es una propuesta que brindó algo nuevo en una época en la que el cine de terror estaba en declive, por eso es una obra de culto.
the scene eating that flan was tense...
it gave a great touch to something so simple...
wey...
lit happens because of the script hahaha
the cops are stupid they're true to the manga hahaha
the teacher was bad for me...
stif master died in a stupid way hahaha
but the canon is weird...
the funeral home one is pretty weird....
hahaha i try to mock death....
'Final Destination' is top entertainment! I've been meaning to watch this franchise for ages - happy to get started. The only thing I know coming in is there's some sort of scene with a car driving behind a (presumably unsafely loaded) lorry? Presumably that's in a sequel.
This is the first time I've watched Devon Sawa at this age of his, I know from watching TV's 'Chucky' that people always mention this film(s?) when talking about him. He is a well chosen lead, for sure. Ali Larter is solid too. Interesting to see Seann William Scott involved.
Some of the characters behind that trio are iffy, in terms of how they are written/portrayed. Kerr Smith's Carter is mostly annoying, for example. Larter's Clear is written a bit odd around the middle part too. The bit with touching the thing (no spoilers) with Kristen Cloke's character is also silly.
To be fair, it is a movie designed to be entertaining rather than being something super intricate and highly logical. It does deliver in regards to the former, the effects are great and the deaths do get nicely creative. It is well paced as well, a 90 minute run time is perfect for a film like this.
I will say that the ending seemed a bit off to me (if still fun and fine), it kinda felt like the filmmakers didn't know how to end it given how the 'skipping' works and obviously they wanted to set a sequel. It's not a big issue whatsoever, it did seem a little roughly concluded though.
All in all, as you can see from my rating, I did love watching it. Interested to see how the follows-up turned up, I'd imagine it's a mixed bag (at best) but time will tell.
This is still one of the most cool and fun horror movies. Introduced my kids to it and they loved it too, always been a big fan of this series.
And to think this was supposed to be an x-file episode
An inventive slasher film in disguise.

Early 2000's horror is something I do treasure in my heart. The way everyone dresses, the music.. it's great. I like the concept of this as well: You cheat death so now it's coming for you, and keeps you guessing what awkward way you're going to die.
Fascinating how Death is not bodily present but you can still hear her saying "Oh I KNOW these bitches didn't try and fuck with ME"
