Preview: The Final Destination (2009)

Synopsis:

A young man has a premonition about a deadly carcrash at a local speedway. Although he saved his friends' lives, fate slowly begins to pick them all off to settle the score.

Review:

It's very difficult to identify the real human face reflected in the mirror over the skull's jaw. While it's a neat effect, it isn't terribly exciting and the tagline "Rest in Pieces" is as trite as any I've seen.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

This is the fourth, and presumably final, installment of Final Destination. After all the title picks up the article "The" in an effort to suggest the end of the series. The concept is interesting, as it has been with all the previous films, but with the gimmicky 3-D elements thrown in, it seems scares will be more important to the film than plot, which generally sinks most horror films.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
