Final Destination (1 to 5)

I had to check our Horror List twice, I can’t believe that we didn’t write a post about Final Destination yet, since we love the franchise and we recently did a complete rerun.

The story, which was originally going to be the concept for an episode of X-Files, follows a group of people who managed to avoid a catastrophe thanks to a premonitory vision. sooner or later, those who escaped their doom start to die as death itself attempts to correct the path they’ve escaped.

From a plane crash to a roller coaster accident, the initial catastrophe is followed by dozens of very brutal freak accidents. There isn’t much suspense beside finding out who wil die next and how he/she will die. However, those brutal deaths are fun to watch and each of the 5 movies is absolutely free of unnecessary drama.

Apparently, a sixth movie titled “Final Destination: Bloodlines” will be released in 2025. Series producer Craig Perry said the film would be set “in the world of first responders” and feature EMTs, firefighters, and police officers. (Wikipedia)

Longlegs

So, Longlegs was our pick for the second movie of this year’s Halloween eve, AND WE HATED IT!!!

It was praised by so many people, just as Hereditary or Smile were. But these movie are exactly what WE HATE (yes, caps!) in the new wave of horror. It’s heavy, slow, psychological, dramatic and artsy. If you read my past horror movies reviews, you will know that this is exactly what makes me downgrade a movie.

When I hear people say that this is the best serial killer movie since Silence of the Lambs, it makes me want to punch them in the face! They aren’t even in the same registry. One is a real FBI investigation, the other is a psychological circus of boring scenes.

I could have written something about the actors or the synopsis but even Nicolas Cage can’t make me wanna write another word about this movie.
