35 years ago this made millenials piss and shit and piss themselves in fear.

>>212284928 (OP)
I was a 25 year old child at the time, of course it scared me. I can’t believe they let us into rated R movies back then.

It always got under my skin. Stuff like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc, there's a level of separation because it's so fantastical. FD is more plausible. Obviously not the whole death making Rube Goldberg machines, but people being torn up and killed in horrible accidents is terrifying.

>>212284928 (OP)
not really, but it was an interesting concept, and cool overall series

>>212284928 (OP)
it's pretty scary, yeah

Working my way through the series now.
Shits cash.
Truly a from different time.
Even though a horror movie a fun feel to it.

>>212286942
4th one is the best. 5th one is the worst. Bizarre quality roller-coaster for a series but it's all true

>>212287218
Switch 4 and 5, I'm retarded.

>>212286333
it went to absolute shit after the 3th one

>>212287298
>t. hasn't seen 5 or 6
4 is absolute horseshit, no one would argue against that, but the quality goes up a lot after that one

>>212287218
Actually 2 is the best because that’s the first one I saw.

>>212287466
2 is the first movie to elaborate on the premise in any meaningful way. 5 did also, to some extent. 6 did slightly but not really

>>212284928 (OP)
Final Destination movies aren't about fear, they're about a visceral reaction to drawn out, often very cruel and miserable deaths, so I really don't count them as horror, they're very clearly suspense films.
BTW, the first movie has some pretty iconic deaths like Billy having his head cut in half and the teacher walking around the whole house with her neck gushing blood but most are actually pretty meh like Todd being choked by the clothesline and the cheerleader chick being hit by a bus, later movies got much more creative.

>>212287218
Love rollercoaster

>>212284928 (OP)
No, Generation X did NOT soil ourselves with fear.

>>212287576
They're more similar to Saw in that respect. Although they thus suffer the same affliction in which the deaths need to get increasingly elaborate to the point of becoming rube goldberg contraptions

>>212287298
The 4th was pretty low quality because the series was going direct t DVD so the script and casting were cheap as shit and the better scenes like the escalator death were reshoots from after it was decided the movie was getting a theatrical release after all.
5 and 6 increase in quality back to the level of 1, 2 and 3.

>>212286004
How do I stop from becoming 50 like you are cursed now?

>>212284928 (OP)
The nascar one is the one weak link

>>212287218
Roller-coaster, uh uh uh
*Slutty girls getting roasted in the tanning bed*

>>212287576
Like a fake version of Jackass where people die

>>212284928 (OP)
Discovered that it's basically an X-Files spinoff the other day

>>212287835
>I'm Evan Lewis and this is "Deathscape Ladder"!

>>212287843
Yeah the script was originally an X-Files pitch but decades before that, Twilight Zone did an episode that basically had the exact same set up as the plane disaster

>>212287843
It was a rejected script for a single episode that got reworked as its own thing.
Many projects start out this way, like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island being a pastiche of several unfinished and cancelled Hannah Barbera projects.

>>212284928 (OP)
No it didn't, it's not even a scary movie...not back then or now. Shit was hilarious. The only tense scene at ALL was the airplane bit at the beginning and then it goes full retard and I love it.

Great movie and OP is a faggot.

>>212287710
SAAR

>>212286344
lol no it wasnt, the intro sequence creates some tension but it quickly becomes slapstick with the comedic chain reactions resulting in the deaths.
Which of course got more and more absurd as the franchise moved on.

>>212287966
The gremlin episode?
>>212288012
I am sure, but it's fun to think of it as a spinoff. For me, at least.

>>212284928 (OP)
Still one of the best TWEESTS in cinema history.

>>212288118
Nah it's about a lady that has a nightmare about her flight crashing so she gets off the plane/ refuses to board and the plane crashes. It's not a terribly memorable episode beyond the fact that it's super similar to the first final destination

>>212288204
Ah, ok. I will still look into it.
I should probably just watch that and the Outer Limits.

>>212288052
Curses are real nigger

>>212288280
outer limits fuckin rules

I haven't seen Bloodlines but Youtube served me up literally all of the death scenes and I noticed a pattern of
>Character stands dumbly in the danger zone like its safe now and they're going to be alright
>The active disaster pulls off some extra twist to finish them off

Do the other films do this much

>>212288604
As the series went on, they started doing more fake-out deaths to keep the audience guessing. It comes and goes

>>212284928 (OP)
it was no fear, It was more for laughter. But in a good way, it was an entertaining movie for its time. Today's kids wouldn't understand it.

>>212284928 (OP)
only tod's death in the tub scared me, the remainder of the flick was just fun

>>212287609
Did too. I saw you, and smelled you, you nasty fuck.

>>212287576
The bus out of nowhere was both brutal and clever. Sure, it's lame if you just watch a kill count recap, but in the actual film it was perfect.

>>212284928 (OP)
no but reading that it was 35 years ago does

>>212287576
The gymnast and the falling plate glass get me the most

>>212291823
It wasn't, it was really 'only' 25 years ago

>>212284928 (OP)
ali a cute

that last movie was pretty dumb huh
lotta people getting killed by tree stumps falling on them out of nowhere

>>212287576
>Billy having his head cut in half
One of the best deaths because it was so quick and sudden. Just graphic enough without lingering into the gratuitous nature found in other later deaths. The ones of the cars plowing into the victims usually felt the same.

I always get sad when Sean William Scott dies. He was probably miscast because he looked jacked to be a nerd character that's picked on but it sucked that he dies when he finally stands up to the bully.

>>212288127
I was surprised how kino this movie actually was/ It is still my second favourite in the series, after the original of course.

>>212292315
I laughed at it, the first time I saw it. It was kind of cheesy.

>>212292423
i think it's supposed to be kind of funny with the "YOU'RE DEAD, YOU'RE DEAD" speech and then he dies. i just saw him as the Stifler and Dude Where's My Car guy. i appreciated they didn't do the typical neck cut and took off halved his head instead

bbq

>>212292480
>i just saw him as the Stifler and Dude Where's My Car guy.
That's his problem, he's typecast as that.
Final Destination was his chance to break out of that mold and it didn't work, he got sucked into Dude, Evolution and American pie 2 then it was over.

>>212292166
Yeah people instantly turning to jelly is pretty lazy
Even killing a kid is underwhelming when you do it that way

>>212292315
just had an obama effect, had completely forgotten he was in this flick

>>212292679
That's what happened to hollywood when they replaced actual blood/gore effects with bad Indian CGI

>>212284928 (OP)
Kino!

>>212292009
Ali was a babe. Still is! Nice breast implants too, because hey, you're only 40 once! But for me, it's Brec a cute from Bloodlines.

Fun Fact: Brec is friends with Ali thru Amy, Ali's bestie & former roomie. Top that!

I remember being 7 years old watching this and I refused to go outside for a whole week.

>>212292524
I'm still mad this bitch got to live outta all the protagonists. Alex died off screen, they coulda brought him back. But my man Devon Sawa has a drug problem.

>>212295731
That's cause he used to date Jaime King
She's such a druggy she's not allowed to see her kids

>>212288649
Aren't at least two survivors hit by ambulances?

>>212292592
He was a decent action protagonist. He was very charming in Bulletproof Monk. I can't help but wonder if he would have thrived if we didn't have Chris Evan's.

I'm still convinced this was a stealth Final Destination movie.

Speaking of the druggy whore...
