Product Information

In FINAL DESTINATION 2, the basic notion of cheating mortality is further refined with an even more gripping plot provided by Eric Bress & J. Mackye Gruber, the duo behind the film BLUNT. Director David R. Ellis revels in film as an entertainment vehicle and the result is a no-holds-barred, raucous good time. Ellis' background as a stuntman and stunt co-ordinator, helps him build electric suspense through a chain of seemingly simple actions, that are in fact loaded and lethal. In the original, FINAL DESTINATION, a group of students avoided the tragic crash of Flight 180, when Alexander Browning had a premonition. Death, however, didn't like being outwitted, and one by one the survivors died in freak accidents. The sole survivor was Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), who voluntarily checked into a padded room at Stonybrook Institute. FINAL DESTINATION II takes place on Flight 180's one-year anniversary. Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) is joyriding with some friends on Route 23 when she sees herself, her friends, and other drivers involved in a massive multi-car pileup. The scene is so artfully executed, it physically hurts to watch. Kimberly, together with police officer Thomas Burke (Michael Landes) save a group of people who would have otherwise died in the crash, but as ever, death prevails. Evan (David Paetkau), the Trans Am-loving, lottery winner, puts up a good fight but is ultimately impaled on a fire escape ladder and Tim (James Kirk) almost chokes to death at the dentist and is later flattened by a piece of industrial glass. Clear Rivers busts out of the psychiatric ward to help the remaining survivors û they need to pool their efforts and read the signs of impending death, before it claims their lives.

ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...It is a clever display of cinematic virtuosity..., Variety - ...Shirley Walker's score displays a thorough understanding of horror jolts..., New York Times - ...A smooth and sharp slice of teen-gothic cheese....An apt -- perhaps even a therapeutic -- entertainment for these jumpy times..., Sight and Sound - ...This follow-up gets the balance just right....There's a neatly mordant touch throughout...
