Final Destination (2000)

All Critics (100) | Top Critics (28) | Fresh (34) | Rotten (63) | DVD (28)

Generates a respectable amount of suspense and takes a few unexpected turns while covering familiar territory.

An original shocker that keeps the tension going.

Top Critic

The writing by Wong, Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick meets the low standards of a mediocre TV movie.

Teens fear the reaper in this so-so thriller.

Common Sense Media

Becomes little more than a typical--if highly atmospheric--slasher film, complete with the cheesy dialogue and gimmicky conclusion.

...an innovative (and unexpectedly influential) exercise in horror.

Reel Film Reviews

It's those long stretches of tedium in between the thrills and the laughs that keep it out of the big-league horror-comedy ballpark. (Blu-ray Edition)

...glib, well produced, and reasonably well acted, adding up to slick pop drivel.

About as subtle as an amplified death rattle--only not quite as fun to listen to.

Tedious and derivative, it will soon be long forgotten.

Dan Jardine

Cinemania

A grossly underrated horror film with an intriguing premise and foreboding atmosphere.

"Hamhanded teen-philosophy stuff about fate and death's design and living forever and nobody controls my destiny."

• 1. Tod Waggner: We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast. But when we say this, we imagine that the hour is placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun, or that death could arrive this same afternoon - this afternoon which is so certain, and which has every hour filled in advance.
