Death itself, not some gimmicky fiend masked or back-from-the-dead, stalks the teens in the Final Destination slasher series and this original is where the innovative concept kicks off...but not in quite the polished fashion of later instalments, for although a group of teens cheat their way out of dying in a freak accident and Death comes knocking like it does in all the FD films, Death here is a malicious fiend, occasionally visible as a shadow that passes through kitchens and down streets - like the shadows in Ghost - and occasionally a manipulator of physics, so not yet the invisible but terrifying potential of violent, body slicing and dicing domestic Rube Goldberg machines.
★★★☆☆
