Final Destination 2

Critics Consensus

This sequel is little more than an excuse to stage elaborate, gory scenes of characters getting killed off.

Movie Info

Death lurks, and two teenage girls try to figure out where he's heading, in this sequel to the unexpected teen horror hit Final Destination. As Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the only surviving passenger of the ill-fated Flight 180, waits in a mental institution, certain Death will claim her, Kim (A.J. Cook), who has begun to display precognitive powers, is driving along the highway when she sees a terrible accident in which several cars crash into a logging truck. Moments later, the horrible vision is gone, but Kim is certain she saw an accident that was supposed to happen but didn't...and now Death will track down the souls he meant to take that day who slipped through his fingers. A police officer, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), believes there's a germ of truth in Kim's story, and teams her up with Clear in hopes that together they can help prevent Death from snuffing out any more of the people involves in the accident that wasn't. Tony Todd also returns from the first film as Mr. Bludworth.

  • It's simple, but effective.

  • When a horror flick gets tedious, it's DOA.

    Richard Roeper

    Ebert & Roeper
    Top Critic

  • Part of the fun here is anticipating the Rube Goldberg-style machinations by which Death catches up with its targets.

    Richard Harrington

    Washington Post
    Top Critic

  • That there is an audience for a movie in which innocent people suffer hideous accidental deaths is troubling enough, but that a group of creative people chose to direct their energies on this repulsive spectacle simply provokes disgust.

    Claudia Puig

    USA Today
    Top Critic

  • The filmmakers clearly set out to make a film that featured lots of footage of really disgusting annihilations, then threw together a haphazard script and hired a few hot actors to play the corpses.

  • It's sick, stupid stuff, and intentionally so.

Audience Reviews for Final Destination 2

  • Oct 22, 2012
    You could pay to watch the opening scene and be satisfied. A technical feat in terms of the realism behind each intense sequence, but nobody really matches Desawa's performance from the original and the screenwriting lacks any interesting character.
    Jason 123 D Super Reviewer

    'Final Destination 2' leaves the original lying dead in a gutter somewhere as we have twice the kills, twice the gore and twice the fun.
    Lindsey D Super Reviewer
  • Dec 28, 2011
    One of my favored series of films...I like them all and they can do no wrong!
    Jason O Super Reviewer
  • Dec 26, 2011
    The Second instalment is my favourite, it has a clever plot, clever script, clever cast. It's really enjoyable to watch, horror films have a new genre
