The most interesting main character is Hunt, the roguish, sexy blond young alpha male. Most of the characters are either caricatures (the racist, the angry redneck, the cowboy) or eye candy (the four core teenagers who try to thwart death). Some reviewers lament the lack of character development in TFD, but they're missing the point. In another scene, a racist stalks the black security guard from the car race and during the mayhem that ensues, the War song "Why can't we be friends?" plays on the radio. A young mother has her two boys put tampons in their ears to protect their hearing from the loud stock car engines, for example.
#FINAL DESTINATION 4 FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
To discuss the various ways people die would court spoilers but the writers of TFD put some wonderful humorous touches in what is a very taut and lean script (one of the complaints about the movie is that it is too short). The spectacular crash happens and "Death's" methodical predation of the survivors begins. Yet a soulful young man has a premonition that there will be mayhem and guides his three friends and a small pack of hangers-on to safety. TFD starts out at a NASCAR type race, which is a social comment: the underlying reason many people go to such races is for the possibility of a violent and spectacular crash. Each successive movie offers new and spectacular ways for good-looking young people to die.
All of the FD movies follow the same general premise: a group of teens escapes from death in a catastrophe only to have "death" follow them (you can't escape your destiny, right?). This movie and the series in general differs from other horror movies such as the Scream series in that the predator "Death" is unseen. It has been two years since "The Final Destination" hit movie screens and it now plays fairly often on premium channels such as HBO or Encore. The Final Destination series is another guilty cinematic pleasure, similar to the Saw series, the Hostel films and before that, the Friday 13 and "Nightmare" movies.
