Is there really no way to escape death? “Final Destination 2” asks just that question.

Like the first “Final Destination,” the movie begins with a horrific accident, but this time instead of a jumbo jet explosion, there is a gut-wrenching car accident. The gore and intensity of the first scene set the stage for just how graphic and nasty this movie gets.

The movie follows a group of fortunate strangers who were saved from the horrendous car crash at the start of the movie. Actress A.J. Cook plays Kimberly, the girl whose premonition saved the group. The survivors soon realize that by cheating death and making a ripple in death’s plan, they all are being hunted down by death itself.

-Kimberly turns to the only one who escaped death in the first movie, Clear Rivers, played by Ali Larter, for assistance. This leads to the return of the only other character from the first movie, Mr. Bludworth, the all-knowing, morbid mortician played by Tony Todd, who we all remember as the “Candy-man.” The movie continues as the survivors try to stay out of death’s path. Most of the people aren’t lucky in escaping, and they end up dying in some appalling death scenes that will make you feel a bit uneasy.

Before the movie begins, there should be a warning: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. There are parts of this movie that normal human beings just don’t need to see. Not a single detail was left out in any of the killing scenes, especially the first one. The scene graphically depicts people being demolished by a semi that was carrying huge logs, and one by one the victims are claimed.

The most visually stimulating and jaw-dropping scene is when a man gets sliced into three pieces by barbed wire, and his body is left to fall apart. Now if that doesn’t make your stomach turn, you are a sick person. The movie definitely will win the hearts of anybody who loves movies with blood and guts because it has more than enough.

This movie really had potential for being good after the first scene, but as soon as the characters began talking, all hope was lost. The dialogue is pathetic, although they did try to keep speaking to a minimum and carnage to a maximum. The directors must have realized that people are watching the movie to see people die horrendous deaths and not to listen to bad actors say cheesy lines.

This is a must-see movie for all who love graphic gore or just somebody who wants to get a good adrenaline rush.
