Final Destination Review - Off The Shelf Reviews 

What really moved me was the portrayal of survivors guilt in final destination was compelling

Been watching you guys for 3yrs now and you never disappoint, but I'm always surprised yall dont have a mill subs by now. You guys are truly underrated

"39 days pass" Death had a lot of triplicate paperwork to clear up before getting to the stragglers.

After I saw Final Destination 3, I did not want to get on a roller coaster.

This movie is why I don't feel safe anywhere I go.

One of the most entertaining theater experiences I've ever had.

38:02 something I realized while watching your other reviews of the sequels: the constant reference to 180. Six months is also roughly 180 days. So when the movie states Six Months Later, it’s most likely making yet another 180 reference, being so open but hidden about it at the same time

Ian calling Death a "git" needs to be on a t-shirt, seriously It's just too damn good a line Great job as always, guys!

37:07 - Okay, getting drowned by a tree sounds like one of the most unique and creative deaths I've ever heard of.

The build up to the death scenes are always great fun

Throughout these movies, I wonder who/what is feeding these poor people these premonitions? If we can look outside of death being this horrible killer that's stalking these people wanting to take them out in gruesome painful ways, who is telling these people how they are going to die? Is it another death who is trying to keep these characters alive? Is it a singular death who delights in tormenting these poor souls with trying to escape him? Or is it a personification of life that is fighting against death to claim these people in horrible ways? What is the force that keeps these characters a mental step ahead of death when the plot suits them?

Been honest lads, I thought the second was the best in series. That freeway pile up was way more impressive than the plane blowing up. But fine review as always chaps.

John Denver did his own foreshadowing with his song Rocky Mountain High .

Dont mind me Im just waiting for you guys to mention and gush over Tony Todd performance..... The very first Final Destination is a gem! I love you guys chemistry❤

39 days because of the 39 students that crashed, that’s what was hinted at tods funeral speech.

I see your vids and i click faster than the reverse flash.

The BIGGEST question that I took away from this film, is that, if they were meant to die (and Death was pissed that they didn't), who/what gave Alex the vision? If it was God, surely God would tell Death to leave them alone! Or is Alex just randomly, suddenly psychic? OR… Were those 7 actually not meant to die on the plane, and in fact Death itself gave Alex the vision, in order to get those 7 people to where they need to be when they're actually supposed to die? Like, the teacher was always meant to die in her home over a month later, so Death engineered events to make sure it happened (and the same for all the other characters' deaths)?

I love your channel guys and wish you very good luck with getting 1mil subs. Can't wait to see your opinions in final destination franchise.

The first and second films are so good, even have a soft spot for how the fifth films ending ties back to the first film. The less we talk about The Final Destination the better.

OH MY GAAAD!!!! Could this be the start of the boys' OCTOBER MARATHON!?! Fucking FINAL DESTINATION SERIES! Holy shit. Thank you boys. Your Hellraiser marathon reviews helped get me through a time when I was really sick. And now this Is gonna help me get through another month of "America apocalypse 2020". Bless you. lol

I went into this movie completely blind. When it first came out my best friend had told me she wanted to go see it, and so I figured eh, it's way to kill an evening at least. Sitting down in the theater I had no clue what the movie was even about, only that it was supposed to be a horror movie with Devon Sawa. Since the teen slasher genre was still going strong at the time, I just figured I was in for more of the same, so when the plane first explodes in Alex's vision and then a minute later for real, I was left completely stunned. It was so out-of-nowhere (if you didn't know what foreshadowing to look for, which I didn't, obviously) and so intense it just grabbed my attention immediately. Unfortunately the rest of the movie never really topped that opening, though to be fair I don't know how it *could* have, but that's not to say it was bad at all. It was really damn good, actually, and kept me invested and guessing the whole time, plus the premise was something I'd never seen before in any other film; the villain wasn't a some ghost or monster or supernatural demon, it was death *itself,* and I *still* think that was a bloody brilliant concept. The sequels were hit-and-miss for me and the deaths started to feel more and more like Rube Goldberg setups in a Tom & Jerry cartoon, but I'll never forget how blown away I was by the first FD.

I had no idea this was James Wong! The X Files connection makes so much sense!

Gotta love October Thanks for the fantastic content as always guys!

Ian's right that death is a right git in Final Destination. He could just give them all brain aneurisms while they sleep but no, instead he sets up gory slapstick shenanigans.

That Vodka must of been 100 proof plus because 80 proof isn’t flammable like that lol Kinda wonder if Death likes John Denver’s “Country Roads” like Tennessee in Alien Covenant as well lol

24:28 Odd how in the bus hit scene , she couldn't hear or feel the bus coming along the street?

The delay factoring into the timing of the real explosion is crazy detail. This is one of my favorite horror films. I basically like all but 4, but even that I had a nice date for and we got to talk crap about it after. So fondness more or less for the whole franchise.

Idle hands is a cool movie. Love a review of that one. Also good job on this one. As always.

You should do Escape From New York/L.A.

"Thought the Rocky Mountains woulda been a little rockier than this..." "Yeah..... That John Denver's full of shit, man!"

I completely forgot her name was Clear. Wondered what was going on for a second. Thought it was Claire and your accents were mangling it 😂

You guys should do Puppet Master. I'm kind of surprised you haven't yet. Great review!

Such a good start to a series happy you guys chose this

The problem with the alternate ending is its to self serious for what pretty much feels like a standard teen slasher.

Great review of a sometimes forgotten classic now, as always lads!! The look on Gary's face after the us, her & yoghurt pots in a hotel comment... priceless 😆🤣

Gary saying "cinematography" was the highlight of the video :D

This was an awesome review for a movie that I'm surprised you guys havent done yet. I didnt know about the original ending, only seen the theatrical ending, but Iain's point about how the studio should keep Alex and we know that Carter dies and Alex doesnt so he could be in sequels--the studio didnt want Alex that bad after his drug scandal in the early 2000's. The series kills Alex of in between the first and second by a newspaper clipping stating that a brick fell off a building and killed Alex as it struck his head. The newspapers are clipped in Clear's padded cell in the second film. So since they didnt even keep Alex, maybe the original ending would've been more appropriate, but the unstoppable forced of Death still trumps the original ending for me

For some bizarre reason I have a soft spot for this movie, despite only having seen it once in my life (when it was new-ish). Glad to hear people actually consider it a decent film. Isn't there some sort of sub-category of teen-horror-films that would include stuff like this and The Faculty?

How would Carter know about "fingerprints on knives" and “footprints in blood”? How was Clear convinced then right before the bus hit, she all of a sudden didn’t believe Alex?

This movie series and Dead Like Me take place in the same universe. The difference is the movies are from the humans point of view and the show is told from the reapers point of view. Same exact rules however.

15:06 This bit is amazing.

That whole scenario about Death forgetting the plane crash for a month and then getting pissed off when he remembers the survivors might be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Also, I don't care what the directors say, I subscribe to the theory that Tony Todd is Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx.

27:12 played on the lowest speed you can see the glass fly into the teacher. It was done practically and shot in reverse. I knew that tidbit for a while but never actually saw it since it happened so fast lol

Tony Todd also played a grim reaper like character in Candyman.

remember the death clock on the special features?? My older brother made me play it one night after watching the film and it terrified me ! hahahah

The first Final Destination film is glorious. But like all movie sequels, it starts taking a noise dive.

haha nice that you recognized the Tod translation for death :-) Greetz from Bavaria

And it turns out this and the rest of the Final Destination movies would not have happened if Sam & Molly from FD5 wasn't on Flight 180 cause they the reason the events of the franchise happened Death was only after Sam and Molly until Alex had his premonition and saved himself and the others I really like how 5 brought all the events together.

You guys are still two of my favorite movie reviewers on RU-vid. Always fun and informative analysis of each film that you cover.

I don’t know if I’d say fully invisible killer. Something at the end of the movies always made me wonder

Glad to be back watching you guys 🙏🏾💯

Happy happy Halloween . Great series pick. OTSR 🎃🎃

Great content as always, You guys both gotta review #alive on Netflix it's a foreign zombie flick you gotta see.

This movie franchise is my guilty pleasure.

Yes!! Great way to start off October!

At the begining of the millenium there was a desinterest for the horror genere, and then this movie came out with innovative concepts mixing the slasher with the supernatural to became soon a new horror franchise, producers and director made a great job with screenplay and production and the casting sell well to be involved in that situation, is very good in presenting this entity that control everything and get you kill no matter what, and you as an espectator can relate to that and feel the uncertainty of death and that is what make this franchise so appealing

I smell a series of videos coming!! Which I am totally good with!

Oh yes shelfers! Halloween season has started! And what a film to kick off! Thanks otsr! #shelferLife

I feel bad for liking the death of the teacher I don't like how she treated Alex tho

Loving this. Still catching up. But never stop

Even 9-11 didn't diminish the power of this film even though the disaster genre took a big knock in the years afterwards.

I always wanted them to make another Final Destination movie but instead of modern times it is Disaster Deaths in Different Time periods. I just had read about an incident called the The Victoria Hall Disaster over on Fascinating Horror channel. That is certainly Final Destination material.

Regarding Sean William Scott, it’s been fun watching him grow. I was a snot-nosed kid watching American Pie and Road Trip, and that’s what most people know the guy for. But check out Goon or Southland Tales - he’s more than just Stifler.

Tony Todd is great at anything he does PS I'm looking forward to next week's review

Did anyone else notice the sign that killed Carter said 180

The death scene of the teacher was the dumbest thing in the movie. I can suspend my disbelief only so much. - Monitors won't explode - I knife dropped from waist high won't do much more than puncture your skin - A tipped over chair won't push a knife any deeper - Unless you get stabbed in the heart it takes a very long time to die from such a wound

I did watch the 3 one , and it was fine

I enjoy this film! So 90s I love it! (Although released 2000 lol) Funny seeing Sean William Scott play the nerd lol! Think this one's the best. Cheers guys! 😁 👍

You guys should check out " At Close Range " with Christopher Walken or " Bad Boys " ( 1983 w/ Sean Penn)

Tod is pronounced toht as in Raiders of the Lost Arks Gestapo villain played by Ronald Lacey.

Technically speaking it is possible for any alcohol to burn if you bring it to a boil and the vapors ignite but for it to be a sustained fire for a long period of time you have to have it boiling violently. I've gotten sustained 3 foot high flames from beer that I allowed to boil too violently while I was reducing a belgian beer and onion soup.

Tony Todd is just another character the Candyman plays.

Final Destination always makes me tense in my day to day life

If this story was real life, Death would be coming for the creator of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane. He missed the plane that was involved in the 9/11 attack.

OMG NEW VIDEO!

Why's everyone miss this; the house exploded last I checked that usually eradicates evidence. I think the next movie they also mentioned she burned in a house fire 'Ms.Lewton'. I guess you could argue Billy seen him run from the scene and autopsy might show multiple stab wounds just not sure on this one lol. Good review all round though!

Great film choice. Loved this when it came out

Can y’all do “THIRTEEN GHOST” ? & “Wrong Turn 2”

Yes, coincidences like Bloodwirth saying this happened before and the 5 movie ties to this perfectly.

The destruction of flight 180 is actually based off of the real Aviation Disaster of TWA Flight 800. 1996

I never knew about the original ending but I actually would've been ok with that. If you can't escape death then what's the point? You'd have to live in an asylum like Clare does in part 2. Also the water going back into the toilet was always weird to me. It looked like a suicide was death seriously concerned about it being labeled a freak accident cause it might actually give credence Alex's theory? Also after 5 films the world of Final Destination everybody should just have common knowledge of Deaths plan. I liked that in part 2 all the characters had ties to the original cast and death was working backwards to tie up loose ends it just took him a few years.

Do you do requests? If so would you consider doing creepshow and the stuff. Great vid as always, keep up the good work.

25:07 on his other cheek looks as like a Bloody Number 1 , as well.

Such a great movie. The series as a whole is among my favorites, but the sequels never quite "got" what made the first work so well. They were more spectacle and about the elaborate deaths as opposed to the slow, foreboding realism of the first. They were still great, 5 in particular, but man was the first something else.

Duuuudes, looking forward to you reviewing all the sequels) would make for a great playlist to listen to while working

Final Destination is one of the greatest supernatural horror movies of all time. It was something new, fresh, unique, inventive, stylish, cool, edgy, hip, and updated such as the concept and themes. It was such a fun rollercoaster thrill ride. You have a good time with this movie. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old. 😍💯👍😎

I'm so excited for this 😭

This movie is in my top ten favorite horror movies

Devon was also human Casper. Every girls dream boat at the time. lol

Btw, love the music they used for this film, it feels foreboding and solid.

Hello lads great review and a great distraction from severe toothache, hope you guys are well.

The first one was the best!

Thanks for making 2020 suck less, you guys

You guys are so funny and enjoyable to watch

Love your Reviews Guys :)

Final Destination invented the Rube Goldberg death machine.

I just watched this again and I need to know....WTF is up with the scene where the teacher wipes off the teapot? Is it the frame rate? Why does it look like claymation right before Death's shadow shows up on the pot?

fuck yeah! You're doing the whole franchise!

I love Final Destination 1 & 2 they are so much fun

Damn now i have to watch this amazing Film again!!
