FIRST TIME WATCHING: Final Destination

Fun fact, this was originally written as an episode of the X-Files and one of the survivors would have been Scully's brother. The director and writer were both writers on the X-Files.

If you are looking for a horror comedy, the lead in this movie also was in a movie called "Idle Hands" which I think would be hilarious to see you review.

Her name was definitely Clear. Clear Rivers

So, the reason why Clear out of nowhere calls Alex baby after the train incident is because during their scene alone together before meeting up again with Billy and Carter they had a love scene, but it was cut. And the reason it was cut is because the entire ending was originally completely different. Alex was supposed to have died by the electrocution and Clear gave birth to Alex's baby afterwards and the baby changed the fates design and was no longer after them, or at least Clear. But it didn't do well with test audiences, so they scrapped it completely. The original is interesting but I much prefer what we got, but I still do think they could have given us a little bit of the love scene, which would have showcased them becoming more official then just randomly calling him baby, lol.

We have to do final 2. That opening scene is worth the reaction alone.

Natalie, this was a fun time with you. I'm hoping you will do more films and please do the rest of the franchise. If u liked Alien Romulus, u ought to watch some more Predator films including the crossovers. It was. Like old times. Stay Golden.

would be cool if you did the other movies eventually, i love this franchise haha

Gen-X, we thought differently.

Saw the new Final Destination film in 4DX last night, despite never having seen any of the previous films, and had a great time. Excited to dive into this one with your reaction.

When a horror movie brightened your day you know there's something wrong.

If you want to see a better version of Final Destination, watch The Monkey. Same director as Longlegs. It's a twisted good time.

New hair's pretty, Nat. Also, why was it important for Death to make Tod's death look like suicide and not an accident? Was Death worried about covering his tracks? Worried the feds will slap the cuffs on him? 🤣

Also, yes, her name is literally CLEAR RIVERS 😂

An iconic start to an iconic franchise, even though I think I actually prefer 2 and 3 lmao Genuinely think Tod’s death is one of the most harrowing in the franchise tho… the helpless struggling and clawing at his neck as the wire tightens. Horrifying 😭

The Mortician who tells them about Death’s design is played by Tony Todd, a horror icon who played the Candyman! And it’s kind of a popular fan theory that HE is Death in this franchise, which is why he knows so much about it 👀 makes you wonder, is he playing with them? Or is there another force out there warning people with visions, frustrating Death and forcing him to clean up 👀

You got to die faster! "Meningitis takes a while." "What did you pick?" "Rabies!" "Spontaneous combustion!" "Nightshade salad." "Sepsis." -- "Hey! I picked sepsis!"

Ah, Final Destination, the Rube Goldberg contraption of death...

The funeral man was played by the legendary Tony Todd. For more of his fantastic commitment to his role you should check out Candyman (1992). Great horror flick and Todd is fantastic as the title character. Virginia Madsen is great in at as well. Definitely one for the Natmare season.

At least watch the second one also 🙃

Maybe death gets paid by the hour, hence the inefficiency from padding his check

Is this the first one, released in 2000?

Was a unique and fun teen horror in it's time. The 2nd movie is just as fun and campy.

I'm very happy Nat was laughing along with this one. These movies are pure cheese and camp, most of us enjoy these for how ridiculous they are and all the crazy Mousetrap/Rube Goldberg deaths. The second one is definitely worth a watch, it matches the same tone as the first. The rest are hit and miss.

Hi Nat, you were saying how embarrassing it would be to die on the toilet, if it's good enough for Elvis it's good enough for me .. lol

What did you do with curly haired Nat!?!

Hi Nat, hope the traveling has gone without any technical issues.... I think I am looking forward to watching this later, not sure if I have seen it before or not lol.

“death is so greedy”. Death is also patient. I just watched the new one and it is super fun. I did see the first and second years ago, and while they were fun, I didn’t feel the need to watch all of them. I would say see the latest in the theater, but only if there’s a good crowd. Fun to watch with others

I remember owning the snapper case DVD of this film and watching it with my brother and a few friends in High School and thinking this was one of the stupidest and funnest movies I'd seen at the time.

Hope you watch the rest can’t wait for tremors

Truly a hood classic

You can see why the Scary Movie franchise got so popular. The movies they're riffing on were so dumb the parodies were already halfway written 😆

Also nice hair straightening job, don't remember the last time it looked so luscious and flowy haha

Omg the hair is magnificent Nattie! :o

THE WHOPPERS!!! 😂

I started watching this a while back, but the kinda janky acting threw me off and I didn't watch past the first 20 mins or so. But something tells me watching it with you is going to be fun lool.

Happy Saturday Nat. I haven't seen this one since it came out so looking forward to watching it with you later. Should be a lot of fun 😊
