Final Destination
Originally envisioned as anX - Filesepisode , Final Destinationended up launching one of the most pop horror enfranchisement of the 2000s . It centre on Alex Browning ( Devon Sawa ) , a college student whose premonition of end of the world saves himself and a pocket-sized group of others from dying in a carpenter’s plane clangour , only to see Death come to compile them one by one . The original film is by all odds a lot creepier and scarier than the sequels , as it in reality tried to be lawfully horrific , instead of just presenting crazy death after unhinged death .
