In Final Destination, Death works with the great canvas of ordinary life. That’s what makes these movies special, and the latest entry knows it.

This was the central conceit of “Final Destination,” a 2000 horror movie, released just past the slasher movie renaissance that began with “Scream” in 1995, that went on to have a uniquely satisfying run all its own.

Common Sense Media also reviews “Duster,” “Forever” and “Overcompensating.” Ultra-gory horror franchise reboot misses originals’ appeal.
