Final Destination 2
USA 2003. Director: David R. Ellis
Cast: Ali Larter, A.J Cook, Michael Landes, Tony Todd

Not necessarily better but near-equal and bloodier sequel to the original Final Destination. Basically it has the same plot. A group of people just about survives a big freeway accident because one girl dreamt about it. They've cheated Death, so now Death is about to get them all, better late than never. It must be said, though, that the film doesn't cheat in the splatter department. The creative deaths are upfront and gory. A guy is mashed to a wet spot by a falling log, another guy is cut in stripes by a flying barbed-wire fence. Almost like in the old days. If the film had some more colorful actors it could have been something, but most of these people are just bodies led to slaughter. Ali Larter returns as the sole survivor from the first film (locked up at the asylum) but she hasn't enough spark to make any difference. It's still a worthy sequel with good production value and if you want old-fashioned gore-effects alone, Final Destination 2 delivers more than expected.
