"Final Destination" Re-think your travel plans.

By Ted Pfeifer

You will not want to hop on a plane anytime soon after seeing "Final Destination". A movie brought to you by some "X - Files" alum, brings you the same spookiness of the television show.

This movie stars off with a bang and follows through pretty well. It has the teen horror aspect to it but is more of a thriller. The movie is about cheating death and death coming back to collect a life. I was expecting another bad slasher movie and was cheerfully surprised. It hits the high points of "Scream" yet at parts does fall into some traps and hits the low parts of "I Know What You Did Last Summer". But the director gets the movie back on track and succeeds in making an enjoyable movie.

It is a definite renter on a Friday or Saturday night and sit back and prepare to get thrilled.
