THE FINAL DESTINATION 3-D - REVIEW

THE FINAL DESTINATION 3-D Starring Bobby Campo and Shantel VanSanten

Directed By David R. Ellis  Rated R for gory, horrifying effects.  Running Time: 82 minutes

All hell breaks loose when Nick (Bobby Campo) has a scary premonition - himself, girlfriend Lori (Shantel VanSanten), two friends (Nick Zano and Haley Webb) and many others die in a ghastly racing car speedway stadium accident. Nick wakes up from the premonition to find himself and friends abruptly escaping "the about to happen" disastrous event.  Nick struggles to find ways to stop death from coming after him and his friends, but death seeks after them in gory details. 

The film repeats itself using the same objects (cars, cranes, fire) from the last two predecessors (Final Destination 2 and 3), but with new inventive gory detailed deaths, some very explicit a la LUCIO FULCI.  The opening and ending credits is visually stunning.  The acting was cute, a little flat, but cute, the whole film was in some ways repetitive going from A to B and back to A.  The film didnt show human emotions (Final Destination Screenwriters take note) - people are dying left and right in tragic ways, blood and gore in front of you, and the characters dont yelp, cry or scream, or even run, they stand there like metallic robots and the next day they about their business like nothing tragic ever happened.  WHERE ARE THE EMOTIONS?, just flat out script characters.  Come on lets put emotions in horror film characters.

THE FINAL DESTINATION was a cute, little fun 3-D joyride with the whole gore effects in your face gimmick, better than that piece of shit remake that came out early this year MY BLOODY VALENTINE, and better than the past two predecessors (FINAL DESTINATION 2 and 3).  But again, why do we need another installment, and this one ends for yet another sequel.  TWO STARS OUT OF FOUR.
