Imagine this. It's the year 2000, and a brand new horror film is due to hit the screen. But unlike many titles that have come before, this one doesn't focus on a masked killer, a serial murderer, or a ghoulish monster. Instead, it’s about something that we all will face one day: death. That’s right, I’m talking about the first Final Destination movie.
Despite its ingenious premise, the movie wasn't met with a warm critical response. Although the first installment was popular enough to stir studios to make more movies in the series, Final Destination still stands at 40% on Rotten Tomatoes – painfully low if you ask me. But now, 25 years later, Final Destination has spanned over 6 movies, creating one of the most popular and imaginative franchises to date.
