If you're gonna complete the quinfecta, you have to include this one...and it's pretty much what you'd expect. If there were such a thing as a "Cliff's Notes" for movies, this should have been it: it was the exact same story with different ways of dying. Nothing original at all, but some of the deaths were dashingly different. (I was really hoping to see the "boss" buy it in a much more gruesome manner, however.) I daresay, however, that OSHA would frown deeply at the idea of having an overhead crane with a fishhook on it. Some of these things were laughably awful, the concept was so bad; either that, or they never expected anyone with any foundry experience to watch this. (C'mon, people: a fishhook? Seriously?) The LASIK mishap, that was cool...the sort of scene that you "know" could never happen, but still makes your stomach crawl at even the hint of it actually happening. (IMO, they ruined that whole scene at the close, however.) I was NOT expecting the tie-in at the conclusion but found myself grinning at how neatly they tied everything together, and yes, like many - if not most - others, I too enjoyed the recap during the end credits. I did make a note for those who are time-conscious; this is a 91-minute movie, but you have a full 7½ minutes of credits: 3.5 at the beginning, and 4 at the conclusion, so you can knock this down to less than an hour-and-a-half of your life wasted. Not bad, if you insist on watching the entire franchise. Acting: 2 stars Story: 1 Star Death Sequences: 4 Stars

8.5/10
Sensational
My favourite of the hole
Franchise so far
(with Final Destination 6
in pre production right
now, we will have to see
what that installment brings
to the party).
With that being said
Final Destination 5
is frickin awesome
and the opening disaster
scene was amazing and
at 4:44 it's the longest running
disaster scene of the
entire franchise.
This installment got
more right than it did
wrong, it was thrilling
and really well paced
and the deaths were
Awesome. unlike the
others this added something
genuinely interesting to
the lore and the rules
and we get
William bludworth
(Candy Man) back
being amazing.
Yes the shock twist at
the end could have been
hinted less through the
movie, too on the nose,
I would have appreciated
a bit more subtlety,
Still that Ending is
Still Epic and very
Fcuking clever
(Even though we have
a 6th installment).
Verdict: 1 and 5
got it right and definitely
the ones that matter
everything Inbetween
Meh or just okay,
let's see what 6 brings.
Unlike The Scream
Franchise which is
Phenomenal by the way
and Timeless and still
kicking ass and knocking
it out the ball park
(S7 post production)
"FD" is not ageing
well at all, more
swing and miss
than Hit.
But the franchise seems
to somehow keep
"Cheating Death"
