Final Destination 2 (2003)

"Final Destination 2" follows the same line of logic that you can't escape Death's Grand Scheme, although you might be able to delay your death for a time. The film has a new catastrophe that is avoided by a group of strangers when one of them has a vision of the near future. The survivors soon learn that even though they escaped certain death, their lives are not yet saved and find themselves being killed off one by one in gruesome ways. There is the added element to this film that each character was some how associated with one the survivors/victims from the first film! Only one character from the original, Clear Rivers (played by Ali Later), has survived since the original. The movie has several moments of comic relief and keeps the death scenes unique and entertaining.


Kimberly is on her way to Daytona Beach with a group of her friends. As she approaches the freeway on ramp, she has a vision of a terrifying mass-car pile up where several people are gruesomely killed, including her and her friends. She also realizes that it's the one year anniversary of the airplane explosion and the story of the group of survivors that left the plane before it took it. As the line grows behind her of drivers wanting to get on the free way, and cop comes up and asks her what's going on. Kimberly gets out of the car and tries to explain her "crazy" story to the cop, but while doing so the accident's chain of events begins to the surprise of everyone, and Kimberly watches in disbelief as her friends who are still in the car are killed by a speeding truck. The story then focuses on Kimberly, the cop, and the eight others behind her car who were meant to die in that accident, and how they are killed off one by one in clever, nasty ways. They try to band together to save each other and even ask for help from Clear Rivers who eventually agrees, after hiding herself away in safety in a mental hospital.
