In it, high school student Alex ( Devon Sawa, Nikita) is about to board a plane with his classmates for a trip to Paris. The first movie, released in 2000, established the formula with ruthless efficiency. Complex, because the ways in which Death does so are among some of the most unique, inventive kills in the horror genre - often-ingenious, Rube Goldberg-esque set pieces in which victim after victim learns the hard way that there's no cheating the Grim Reaper. Straightforward, because they don't feature any masked slasher with some kind of tragic past stalking hapless teens - the film's "villain," as it were, is Death itself, which always needs to find a way to even the score after each movie's main cast manages to avoid some bizarre, tragic accident.
The Final Destinationseries is, at once, about as straightforward and about as complex as horror gets.
