Finally (and hopefully) over

Death has returned with new, creative ways to punish those who cheat it.

The fourth installment in this franchise, aptly-titled and supposedly the last in the series, “The Final Destination,” takes the same basic formula of the previous three films and applies it here with new characters.

As with the others in the series, this film is chock-full of interesting flashbacks and gory death scenes. Some of the flaws you’ll find are the same ones present in many horror flicks of our era – poor acting and a predictable plot.

The main actors are the same cookie-cutter characters you can find in any cheap thrill movie.

They lack any real depth, thus making them the perfect victims for director David R. Ellis’ gruesome plans.

Despite its poor acting and predictable plot, “The Final Destination” is still a fun film to watch.

But then again, if you went into it thinking it was going to be an Academy Award winner, then the joke’s on you.
