When Nick O'Bannon had a premonition of a racecar fatally crashing and instantly killing his friends in the most gruesome way, he decided to just shake it off. But when everything looks so real, he began to panic and persuaded the other teenagers to leave the place immediately. Soon after, debris began to fly and all his dreams turn into tragic reality. As for Nick, along with his girlfriend, Lori and her best friend, this is just the beginning. When survivors began to die one-by-one in a most horrifying way one can imagine, Nick must think of a way to cheat Death once more.

It's Final Destination. There's not much to say about it because a whole lot of people know of and love this franchise. I, for one, do not fall into that category. Well sort of. I barely liked the first two, but absolutely hated the last one. It was just an absolute crappy movie. And I have very crappy hopes for this 4th installment. Check it out for yourselves when it hits theaters this Thursday.

The Final Destination Trailer

About a week ago, I posted the poster and plot for The Final Destination. Today, the trailer premiered on MySpace. This being the fourth film of the franchise, it looks like more of the same. I’m not really that excited for it. Check out the trailer below.

Check back later for trailer for Bruce Willis’s new film, Surrogates. That, I am excited for.

EDIT: I just checked and looks like the trailer isn't playing. Stupid MySpace embed. So I posted the YouTube one.

The Final Destination Teaser Poster

On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one--in increasingly gruesome ways--Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination. The film marks the latest in the highly popular "Final Destination" series, and its first 3D installment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride.

By the title of the film, this might be the last one of the franchise. But in any case, the fourth installment of the Final Destination franchise, aptly named The Final Destination is coming soon. Directed by Final Destination 2 director, David R. Ellis, this movie features Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Krista Allen, Mykelti Williamson, Haley Webb, Nick Zano, Andrew Fiscella and Richard T. Jones.

The Final Destination reaches theaters August 27 in Malaysia and a day later in the States.
