Final Destination 5 immediately gets points for not having a stupid title, but it gets even more for bringing back everything fans love about the franchise.
The inciting incident doesn’t top Final Destination 2 (nor will anything now or in the series’ future), but it most definitely features some of the most shocking and gruesome deaths that the movies have to offer — including the gymnastics incident and the “malfunction” at the laser eye center.
It also deserves a tremendous amount of credit for featuring one of the best manufactured twists we’ve seen in mainstream horror in the last few years, so if you haven’t learned about it yet, do yourself a favor and put this one on your to-do list immediately.
