Final Destination 5

Just to start off, if anything, the entire Final Destination series is more gore than horror. Yes, that's right. Blood, guts and...well....blood. Human body parts too...

So gymnasts, beware of performing on a balance beam, stepping on a nail, having another gymnast
coincidentally knock over the powder thing from which powder is blown into your face by a badly placed fan, losing your balance on the balance beam since you're blind and falling down and breaking your back like so.
Oh yeah. Death can be a real bastard.
So, like every FD movie, a group of people "cheat" death by avoiding it. How do they avoid it you ask? Well, one person has a vision of everyone dying in a tragic accident. *spoiler: the person who sees the vision is normally the last one to die* Anywho, they suddenly "wake up" and realize that it was just a dream...or was it. Then something trivial happens in real life that happened in the vision and the "visioneer" goes ballistic and screams for everyone to save themselves. After a series of events, around 6-10 people follow this person and they all get saved as that person's vision does in fact come true. So they cheat death.

Now death can be a real pain in the neck. He doesn't like to be cheated of his victims. So what does death do? He hunts them down, one by one and kills them in ways that are a Gory Lover's dream and heaven. In the end, there are at least two people who think that Death will leave them alone, only to die very unexpectedly. (Although, after seeing 5 FD movies one after another, it kind of becomes more expected)

I was never crazy about these movies, but obviously, if I watched all of them (except for 3), they must have been somewhat okay. They were not scary...more suspense and of course, GORY! Great to watch for people who like to "be scared" without the "scary parts"...

So watch it! Oh, and please, if death comes knocking at your door, do not try and cheat him. He will get you one way or another.

Guess how she dies? Hint: it has to do with her eye.
