Accidents kill! And you can die anywhere. This is what you get in David R. Ellis’ Final Destination 4. This horror-thriller is the 4th instalment in this series and more or less it follows the earlier trends of its predecessors.

FD4 starts with a premonition of a deadly sequence of car crash at the race tracks. Nick O’ Bannon (Bobby Campo) and his friends escape death for the time being. They think that they have got their second lives, but this is just the beginning. If you are supposed to die, you will die anyway. The survivors of the premonition begin to die one by one and reach their final destination.

Too many deaths have been squeezed into this 80 minute thriller. As a fan of Final Destination series, you will be able to easily forecast the next moments of this movie. There are extraordinary death-defying stunts and before our minds get enough time to understand them, we move to a new situation. Death has been seriously glorified in Final Destination 4.

I have always liked Final Destination but this fourth sequel has truly disappointed me. May be it is because as an audience, we generally expect something new in each and every movie. Final Destination 4 has failed in that sector; it has shown new, innovation and almost unimaginable ways to get killed, but then again the movie is too predictable. Some of the death scenes are really dull and predictable and look as if they have been copy-pasted from its prequel. Some of the scene, especially the death on escalator, is kind of funny. Most of the characters were self sufficient, looking scared and screaming through out the movie. The length of the movie is quite short and everything passed by very quickly. However, giving a try won’t do much harm.
