Hurray!  A return to form!  I love these movie v-logs.  Do more.

In the fourth movie there is a cop or security guard (I dont remember) who wants to commit suicide and in the third the survivors talk about the disaster survivors of the first and second movie. So this was my useless information for today :D I really hate these movies, but I always watch them because I want to see if its different from the others. But its not, these movies are pointless.

So I’m the only one, who is not afraid of all those shitty horror movies like Saw, Paranormal Activity, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Insidious etc., and just laugh out loud, when I watch it in theater? Damn:(

Oh, and about that laser surgery – it’s weak in the trailers, because when she gets her hand to cover her eye, this thing is turned off and you can’t see it (it should be visible, red, but on her hand or anywhere else, is nothing).

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is awesome and is second best in the franchise (the first is, of course, the original).

Why I have feeling that The Smurfes will be the scariest movie of the decade?

I haven’t seen any of these movies and never really cared to.

Where else would aliens come from other than space you ask Spoony?

My answer is the space between spaces.

‘I have Tekken to shoot. I’ve watched it several times already, actually.’ – Some of Mr. Antwiler’s final words before he went over the edge and was committed.

I whole-heartedly agree that slasher-flicks do not equal horror at all. I like my horror with a creepy atmosphere that makes me hope for a jump-scare, just so that the tension will be interrupted. One of the best and most disturbing horror-movies I can recommend is the noir-horror “Angel Heart” from 1987 with Mickey Rourke

Okay, before I type anything, here’s some of my basic thoughts for modern horror flicks:

That said, I don’t like the Final Destination series. The creators don’t know their audience, it’s made for gore and porn, and, as Spoony just pointed out, the creators NEVER think the mythology through! The only FD film I saw was part 2 when it aired on TV, and the broadcast version I didn’t like!
If you ask me, the FD guys need to go back to the golden age of film and watch a couple. At least then, they’ll learn about something called “story.”

All the deaths from the first 4 movies spliced together.

I never cared about Neil Patrick Harris’ stuff. I found him boring in Doogie Howser MD and I now find him boring AND annoying in “How I met Your Mother”.

Doogie Howser MD, by the way, I found to be a show with a boring premiss (and I’ve actually seen a few episodes and it was never interesting or memorable to me). He’s basically a doctor who so happens to be young; who cares?

I’ve also seen episodes of “How I Met Your Mother” and I’ve actually tried to be interested in it, but I just couldn’t do it. I don’t even understand why the hell the show is lasting at all. Hell, it’s a premiss where you KNOW the main character will meet a woman, get to know her and eventually marry her! What the FUCK, man?! :-P

You should make a top 10 list of all your favorite horror movies or just a video where you tell us some of your favorite horror movies.

So, do you look away when Oh Dae-su pries that dudes teeth out with the hammer?

you know what can make 3d more shitier 3d with subtitles man its so bad the subtitles stand in front of everything and its so annoying    

[Mommy, what's "Final Destination?"]
{That’s easy, son! Just picture it as “Mouse Trap: the Horror Motion Picture!”}

Seriously? We’re at the 5th movie and we’re no closer to understanding “Death’s” motives to killing all these people than we were with the 1st?! We still have no clue what this force really is and why it’s going around killing people, especially those who try to cheat death?! Is it really that hard to come up some sort of sentient, supernatural grim reaper; or, how about making the Candyman as a powerful psychic whom can manipulate these events, in order to keep himself in business (he is an undertaker in these films.) Hell, have it BE the Undertaker of the “WWE,” who’s going around killing people because they prefer to watch “TNA.”

In these movies Death is like “Fuck you! You should have taken the first death. Now you get my improbable death machines. Hope you like them whore.”

*phew* Good thing I already had laser eye surgery. 

And for the record, it’s not a cutting laser. It is kinda interesting. The laser’s role is to imprint tiny bubbles of air between layers of the eye (I know nothing of biology), which creates a flap which they push away with a sponge. Then another laser quickly changes the layout of how light hits your eye (I completely forget all terminology) and then they push the flap back into place and it heals. I don’t remember any kinda cutting laser, they’re designed for microscopic adjustments. Although I suppose you could still stretch it in a way to have the bubble blow up your eye, I suppose.

*sees laser eye surgery scene*

“Ooooooooooooo, naaaaaaaaaaasty!”

There is no way I could actually watch that laser eye surgery scene. I CAN NOT watch scenes in any movie if an eye is being damaged or torn or blown up or anything. It just makes me cringe. I can’t even watch a normal laser eye surgery, I always have to look away.

Lol, and I used to always do very screwed up things with my Sims. XD No Sim could survive my devilish plans! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Actually in The Final Destination, one guy made several attempts at killing himself and death wouldn’t let him.

Harold and Kumar Get Jobs and Stop Annoying Me, how’s that for a sequel?
Hell, why can’t we just have Neil Patrick Harris jump on a unicorn and fight in an epic, Yellow Submarine-inspired war, only finding out later that he’s O.D.’ed on magic mushrooms in a Los Angeles YMCA. The sudden dark turn would still be funnier than anything Harold and Kumar could do.

um… Ken Jeong isn’t in Harold and Kumar 3. so I guess that’s one ticket stub you through out to hastily. 

I heard that 2 was better than 1 and then they all went downhill.

I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off when you made the statement that this is not a film to bring one’s girl to, seeing as my girlfriend LOVES gore flicks, especially the Final Destination series.

Dude, you really should watch the second one. It was AWESOME. It had actual characters, and a really good story, that was a direct and really clever sequel of the first. And many of the things you are saying in your video are wrong: in FD2 there are people that survive, and there is a rule about beeing unable to die if it’s not your turn, and it is actually used there.

So yeah, I really hope you’ll watch it. And make a V-log about it. Every movie in th series was shit with good death scenes, but FD2 actually was a movie and not just a funny gore-fest.

I’m surprised you haven’t seen the second Final Destination considering you used the legendary “glass plane” death in your Knightmare review

In all seriousness, FD2 is the best in the series… The instigating pile-up sequence alone is worth the price of admission. And you actually give a damn about these characters too!

In Final Destination 2 or The Final Destination(I can’t remember which one) they explain that a person can’t actually kill them self even if they try.

I watched one of these movies once. I think it was FD3 (my GF at the time wanted to see it.) Talk about a waste of my time…there are no characters to care about or relate to, the deaths are laughably stupid, and worst of all, there is no point to any of it. If they had a plan like “all 5 kids who had premonitions were linked somehow” kind of premise that was leading to anything at all, it might not feel so terribly shallow and meaningless.

I agree with Spoony’s take on what horror is. IMO the best horror movies create a feeling of dread, suspense, and actual concern for some of the characters, and they don’t rely on in-your-face gore. They barely show anything, because that allows your mind to fill in the blanks with whatever YOU fear the most, which is infinitely more scary than any amount of gore or monster makeup.

I liked this film better than 4, but I still had to put my mind away and yet still found myself looking at the screen during the gymnastics scene and saying, “Someone’s gotta see that screw” or “There’s no way an electrical wire that is frayed so close to the plug would be unseen by the janitor.” Though I am curious, with what you said Spoony, about the gun on the stove when it discharged caused some heavy pots to fall over and kill a character, was that really there (which means you got a different ending than my theater) or maybe you didn’t remember the scene correctly?

*Spoiler Alert*

The ending I got was a pretty good twist, granted Spoony’s correct in that no one lives in these films (note: Both the cop and girl that survive at the end, well they both die off screen in a wood chipper accident according to the FD3 DVD extras, similar to the stupid way they killed off Alex’s character in FD2). The film never really told you what year it was and it turns out the twist is that this film is a prequel to the first Final Destination. The last two to survive (if it is another version, my film had it where the gun missed both of them) make the trip to Paris only to be killed in the same plane explosion as was the set up for the first Final Destination film. I liked this twist, granted it did turn into a snuff film after FD2 (though the skeptical Goth boyfriend/girlfriend characters of FD3 made me somewhat enjoy that film), but the twist did make me smile alot and made me happy not to see any reviews before I saw the film. I am not sure if they mentioned it in the first film or others, but I am willing to look back now to see if they ever mentioned a bridge collapsing incident in any way that Bludworth (Tony Todd’s character) or another character may have mentioned as, “this seems similar to that man who had a premonition like this before a bridge collapsed…” Granted this means that since it’s a prequel, Tony Todd’s character already had the answers to death’s design, or was just giving kids stupid advice about killing to save themselves which didn’t work, or maybe death changed the design from film to film, or maybe I am just looking into these ideas more than the writers ever did!

“You know how people play Sims just to f#*&ing murder people or set their house on fire just to watch ‘em burn or gag to death on their own vomit?”

No. No, I honestly don’t…

I saw the previews for this movie…

I have a thing about eyes, quite intensely so…

I also had LASIK eye surgery last year…

I did not like this trailer…

…You mentioned One Missed Call. The one that matters. *squee*
Yeah, that’s all I’m pointing out, because I freaking love that movie.
You may now carry on with the awesome.

Damn it, spoony, now I’ll go and rewatch One missed call. That movie was awesome and the american adaptation made me cry T_T

Speaking of gory movies have anyone but me seen the awesome german truck safety video.It remindes alot of these movies and of course the first time i saw it all I could think about was the “forklift song” XD.sorry im rambling on anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oB6DN5dYWo

//enjoy

Warning: May be some movie spoilers up in here.

I don’t care for gore movies. However, when I saw Final Destination 5- I couldn’t help but to laugh at the laser eye scene. It was absolutely ridiculous. If you wanna be nitpicky… There’s no way the laser could be strong enough to do that kind of damage (even if the spilled water caused a laser megafreak out). The laser is designed to remove cells about the thickness of a human hair with each pulse of the laser. How could it suddenly do that? Also, why is the girl’s head strapped down? I had eye surgery. No one strapped my head down. They just said “Don’t move.” Was the doctor afraid she was going to change her mind? Or did he have something more nefarious in mind. After all, why wasn’t someone else in the room with them. A nurse or an assistant? That would have come in handy when he realized he didn’t have the right information and had to leave her alone to go get it- which, by the way, why didn’t he come back? When the other cast members finally bust up in there to warn her about her be the next in line to die, Dr. McLookingKindofCreepy is just kinda standing around. Why doesn’t he have that file or whatever he’s supposed to have gotten by now? If, in this weird scenario, Dr. McMaybeHeMolestshisPatients likes to get his freak on by immobilizing his patients- why doesn’t he input all the information into the computer/laser first? Laser surgery typically lasts for about thirty seconds per eye. And, obviously, the girl is screaming for a really long time before the Doctor hears it. (Or so he claims). Maybe he’s just used to screaming patients. And a wall full of teddy bears? If you couple that with the screams, you reach all kinds of creepy.

Here’s another pet peeve. In the bridge scene early in the movie, eyeball girl clearly can’t see to get off the bridge (having lost her glasses ala “velma” style) without help from the others. However, in the laser scene, she donates her glasses and walks perfectly fine into the room without assistance and can even see the teddy bears displayed against the wall. WTF?!!!!

And one more thing…. was it just me or was Candyman positively gleeful in this movie? I mean, like he couldn’t wait for them to die.

My thing is feet,anything happens to someones feet,i can’t watch.

Was never a fan of the FD movies, as you say they’re all the same – I’d rather spend my time watching a different/better movie. I’ve seen the trailer and this newest film look HILARIOUS!!
Enjoyed watching this, can’t wait for your next vid! :D

I haven’t watched this entire video yet, but I can’t believe all you people bitching in the comments, trying to insert logic into an extremely fun series where logic should not be a concern at all. I love every movie in this series (except for 4, because the deaths were bland), and I think 5 was the best so far. It was intense, darkly comedic, had a few likable characters (and some that were so awful that watching them die was EXTREMELY satisfying), and it put a great twist on things with the whole “kill someone else to take your place thing”.

Awesome movie, IMO.

It sounds more like Rube Goldberg is playing god.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

With all these weird deaths, how come there is no media in the movies connecting the dots?
 
Something like that in real life is guaranteed to draw media attention after the second kill. I could already see a Fox News van pulling into the town to report on it…

Miles Fisher (the guy who looked like Tom Cruise) actually played Tom Cruise in Superhero Movie from 2008

Looks like somebody can’t tell asians apart.

So how they are going to name the sixth movie ? And the other thing that it is funny is how distributors in my country (Poland) named the fourth movie… just Final Destination 4 (Oszukać przeznaczenie 4). At least here nobody will be chronologically confused about those movies.

It’s funny that you mention 1000 Ways to Die, cause the Acupuncture death, without the Fire finishing the job, Is actually one of the ways to die they Mention, and it’s actually rather funny. anyway, This kinda Movie still wouldn’t be much for me, as much as I like to see senseless Violence… No More Heroes 2… *Shakes head* Anyway, good review, and can’t wait for the Tekken 2012 review.

I’ve seen Final Destination 1, 2 and 3 as my gf is a huge horror fan (personally I don’t care much for horror genre) but here’s what I don’t get: why does Death jump through so many hoops just to get a bunch of kids dead? I mean, it’s DEATH! Ok, so here’s the thing: why doesn’t death just give you them massive heart-attack, the mother of all strokes and a pulmonary embolism of epic proportions all at once. Done. Natural causes. Next. If I were Death then I wouldn’t go out of my way to set up all the extremely elaborate traps, I got more things to end. Think about it: there’s billions of lifeforms on this planet and every day a lot of them are in a serious need of a good workout pushing up daisies. I don’t have time for this crap but no, for some reason it is expected of me (being Death) that I do all these intricate domino-effects. At least in slasher flicks there is a reason for tons of gore, here there isn’t anything that validates it. The Final Destination series is just snuff films. You know how the do cross-overs right, like alien vs predator? Can’t be long before Face of Death meets Final Destination…

I agree with what you’re saying about the lack of any real plot from these movies.  My question is always: What entity causes the main character to have the vision that initially saves them?  And why does that entity then vanish so that they can be slaughtered horribly?  Is it death doing it to mess with them?  If death is so sadistic, why do some people just pass away in their sleep?  Death could also just gather together all the cholesterol in their body and plug on really important artery, but it’s not gory enough…  I just can’t believe that five movies in and they’ve never felt the slightest inclination to develop the character of death in the slightest.  And each time they’ll establish back story that we already know!  That this has happened before to other people…  For someone who wants story, it’s just deeply dissatisfying.

lol i like to call Final Destination 5 the Starwars effect. it takes place before the first final destination  movie, and yet the tech is current.

In the series , it is brought up in 2 and 4 that you can’t kill yourself to avoid death unless it is your turn to die in Death’s Design. If memory serves me right , the characters who contemplate suicide are the black characters in FD2 (excluding Tony Todd) and FD4  as well as the pale Emo kid in FD3.

The concept is there, they just don’t do anything with it. More or less because it won’t fit in continuity of the series nor make any sense since they are all destined to die regardless of being skipped and taking another person’s remaining lifespan. Making this concept completely pointless to bring up or to follow up on.

One of the many flaws in the Final Destination series and yet I am still eager to sit back and enjoy the carnage as the Gorehound that I am.

The first FD is great.
Well written and some interesting deaths and scares. With the exception of Exorcist III, probably the best jump scare in a film in the first FD.

The sequels were all pretty bad.

However, I really liked FD5. It’s not great, but it’s the best of the sequels.
But I do have to bring up how they ruined the twist end themselves in the film.
A good twist is slowly bled fed to you. See Fight Club for the perfect way to set up and pay off a twist. See The Sixth Sense for a bad way to set up a twist.
FD5 has a “good” twist ending, but they shoot themselves in the foot by being to heavy handed with the clues. Now there are some great subtle clues to the twist that you may or may not pick up on. Like music being played, phones being used, license plates on cars, etc. Subtle but they are there.
Then there is one HUGE clue they keep drumming into your head over and over. That “clue” is Paris. The fact they keep mentioning Paris way too many times gave away the ending, too on the nose.

My suggestion. Watch the first film, then watch this “sequel” directly after. It just works so damn well. You don’t need the others in between.
