The Final Destinations

A couple of points about these movies.

The first one was original and worked because we really didn't have a clue what was going on, or, what was about to happen. I have to say, I liked it.

The second one I watched in the cinema and walked out before the end. Admittedly it was a question of leaving early and making the bus or watching it through and getting a taxi. We both didn't think it was worth it.

I've just watched the third instalment there. Honestly the films are like watching a live, over 18s version of mousetrap. The camera cuts to water on the ground, swords on the wall etc...

And this is where I come to the point I'm, slowly, trying to make. Because I know what's inevitably going to happen in these movies I'm almost always nervous as I watch them. The build up starts and I can feel the butterflies in my stomach...does anyone else get this? Or...do the rest of you watch with a gleeful anticipation of the decapitation that's about to occur? I think by knowing that something is going to happen turns a piece of entertainment into basically...gratuity.

Thoughts?

Butterflies, from the off. Granted i don't react well to these kind of films with loud, screeching cut-offs relying more on shock than on fear. I tend to flinch frequently and sometimes even go foetal (

eg.the sun bed scene in Final Destination 3

).

I can understand why people like films like these, why they like waiting with baited breath for the latest victim in Saw to expire... but i wouldn't go on my own

Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome films!!! 2nd wasn't the best - 1 and 3. Just impossibly horrible. It's thrilling, that's why we love them.

Anyone else think that the remake of the omen was AWFUL!! Honestly, the only reason I didn't leave early was cuz I was with my girlfriend and she chose it.
