When a teenager has a premonition that the plane he's about to board is going to explode, he throws a fit and gets him and his friends kicked off it. Shockingly, the plane crashes. As the group begins to die mysteriously one by one, the remaining survivors must try to figure out what is going on before they join the other victims. James Wong, migrating from the world of television (THE X-FILES, MILLENNIUM), has crafted a surprisingly intelligent, pulse-pounding thriller.

Rating of 3 stars out of 5
Radio Times

The X-Files veteran James Wong makes his feature debut with this entertaining supernatural horror movie, in which the principals' surnames are taken from legendary genre figures from the past such as Murnau, Lewton and Chaney. It's as if the teen slasher and the disaster flick had met in the Twilight Zone, as Devon Sawa's premonition of a midair disaster comes explosively true and Death begins to stalk those who escaped thanks to Sawa's timely intervention. The premise is flawed and the exposition clumsy, but the methods of demise are as hilarious as they're ingenious, with Wong more intent on toying with our expectations than providing outright shocks.

Teen shocker

crumpet from Wiltshire, 12th February, 2004

This stands up when compared to many films in this genre, and thankfully with its tongue firmly stashed in its cheek. Decent special effects and classic tension set ups make this well worth a watch. Don't expect to be cranially challenged, but for a few good shocks, laughs and grimaces it works

Wonderfully scary film

A Customer from East Lothian, Scotland, 19th July, 2004

I was kind of in 2 minds about this film to begin with, I hadn't heard much about it except that it was a horror film, and I'm not a big horror fan. However, although it is scary, and gory, the script is excellent. It is totally removed from the other spat of teen horror films that have all been hiting the market. The script is original and very good, as is the acting. You are kept on the edge of your seat wondering who is going to be next (until Alex works out the design)and how they are going to die (which is usually very painfully, and in a much more horrible way than if they had died in the first place!), but then that's the whole point of the film.

Great film, I totally recommend it!

Final Destination

2tone from West Yorkshire, 20th October, 2003

What a seat gripper! (and I don't mean your pants)
Lots of spills (the gory kind) and a host of pretty young American actors to die for (quite literally)!
A word of warning, you may sleep uneasy after watching this dangerfest!

Brilliant, sat on edge of seat film

A Customer from Bridgwater, 5th November, 2008

Although the film is a bit disturbing and gory at times, you have to to keep watching as you can't quite guess where the story is heading. Will definately be watching the later films!

Too serious

A Customer from Nottingham, 28th October, 2008

Predictable, cliched and taking itself far too seriously. Nowhere near as good as it's funnier sequels.
