If you’ve seen Final Destination 1 or 2, then you’re already familiar with the plot of FD3. A group of high school seniors narrowly escape death when one of them is endowed with an inexplicable vision of their eminent doom.

Sadly, death changes its mind and decides to kill them anyway.

There are two things that the makers of the Final Destinations do very well:

1. They make thrilling trailers that don’t give all of the action away.

2. They never run out of gory ways to kill teenagers.

However, there are some very important things that they don’t have the knack for, such as writing new stories. Once they find a plot they like, they stick to it until the people revolt.
