STORY

On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon 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, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, 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 installment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride

REVIEW

What can be said about this movie, well it certainly doesn't cover new ground in the series but the writers have found new and interesting ways to dismember victims in this instalment of the series. The movie, as released in theatres assisted in the return of 3D phenomena and one can't help but wonder if that's as far as the appeal went. Interestingly enough the action / horror starts from the very beginning till the last second of it's rather short lived 78 minutes.

If you're looking for answers in this one, you won't find them in this movie, but if you're in it for just plain horror and gore then get ready for the ride. The movie doesn't really expand on the others but fans of the previous movies will definitely enjoy this.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING...
