On the one year anniversary of the 180 plane crash, another group of strangers are going to have their own brush with fate and death. After avoiding a massive traffic accident a group of survivors must find all their ties to the past before their should be present catches up to them, but can they figure it out before it is too late?
Final Destination 2 follows the same pattern as the first film and even carries over a character from the first installment, but it doesn’t get much more right in the sequel.
The plot and the cast are a lot weaker this time around and even the Rube Goldberg like death scenes are a lot harder to swallow this time around, the best example of this is the kitchen/fire scene, but where Final Destination 2 gets it’s high marks from are the kills.
There is at least three of the top kill scenes in the last five years in this movie and one that may now be my favorite of all time. The kills are incredible, gory and down right fucking brutal! I’m not yanking your chains here horror fans, the kills are great. No gorehound will be disappointed. The scene with the little kid and the plate glass slab is AWESOME, I watched it three times in slow motion. Throw in the barbed wire, some decapitations and one of the most brutal series of car crashes ever and regardless of the movie, the shear realism of some of the kills bring out the best in this one.
