Really? Death forgetting to kill some kids isn't a ridiculous concept? Takers all sorts I suppose

I think the idea that you've dodged death, and death comes back to get you is a trashy yet intriguing conceit that the Final Destination films have some fun with. And they always manage to come up with unique ways of killing teenagers, which is never a bad thing.

It's a death porno. You know they are gonna die and you wait and watch them die in interesting and funny ways.
Just bought these at my local Tesco. Huzzah!: [p=http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/5972964/John-Hughes-Box-Set-The-Breakfast-Club-Special-Edition-Weird-Science-16-Candles/Product.html]

I think the term 'death porno' works better with a movie like 'Hostile'.
Or Death Porno 1 - 5.

Yeh Ok maybe Death Porno was a bit harsh. Death Softcore Porno.

Yes the originals are a bit better but I'm still partial to the spin offs like MILF Death Musical II and Foot Death Fetish III.

I love the FD films. I like the dark comic and in-joke element that you also get in Scream.

Scream was pretty good.

There's a fourth one on the way. Yay? The first one was great.

I liked Scream too but I actually enjoyed "I know What You Did Last Summer" more. Don't know why, Scream was probably a better movie I just thought "I Know" was more fun.
*edited* Oh wait I remember now, I used to have a huge crush on Sara Michelle Geller.

See I hated "I Know" and all it's parodies. Early Buffy Sarah Michelle Gellar was fit beyond reason then she went all Skeletor.

Agreed. I like my vampire hunters with a little junk in the trunk.
