On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon (Bobby Campo) has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori (Shantel VanSanten), and their friends, Janet (Haley Webb) and Hunt (Nick Zano), to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one - in increasingly gruesome ways - Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination. The film marks the latest in the highly popular Final destination series, and its first 3D instalment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride.
Secret Agent Acid Thunder
I've read the synopses for the first 3 films and frankly the only thing this movie has going for it is that I viewed it in 3D. To say that I blinked in some of the scenes was an understatement; they really utilised the expectations of 3D in making this movie, but as a story or even a thriller go; I found that I - and the rest of the audience - were laughing more than being scared. If Death has a design for franchises, it's called Final Destination.
The horror movie The final destination is directed by David R Ellis and stars Bobby Campo, Nick Zano, Richard T Jones.
