Description

Growing up, there was a good amount of horror/thrillers to choose from – but none more so impactful or impressionable, for my generation, than the 'Final Destination' series.

Having originally been penned as a potential episode of 'The X Files', co-writers James Wong and Glen Morgan repurposed the story into the feature that we all love today – and the franchise has never looked back. The concept and idea was so unique; death stalking those that cheated its plan, it’s no wonder the original release from 2000 has spawned four (soon to be five) sequels following its success.

The suspense and anxiety that drips into each scene for the survivors of Flight 180 is remarkable yet excruciating to endure. As well the ingenuity with its well-thought and equally terrifying 'freak accidents' that death pits the characters in, are just another reason as to why the 'Final Destination' franchise remains a favourite and highlight for so many. It may be 20 years since the originals released, but it holds up very well.

Full thoughts in this revisit.
