Final Destination (the first one, 2000)

This is a very good example of how HD can be a negative to an actor.

Devon Sawa has very BAD skin and it shows (I think he also has cold sore!!) It was so bad after the the first act, they started to use filter on him, just to make his skin look smoother, it only made him look waxy.

Thank god this movie's got Ali Larter!!

The most original Final Destination

Other then Devon Sawa's bad skin, he actually delivered a solid performance.

Interesting how Seann William Scott is bigger then he is??!

Will also take this opportunity to point out that 1 year before he was in The Final Destination, he was in another horror/comedy movie called idle Hands which was release in an inopportune time (after the Columbine incident) and it tank in the box office. I kinda like it, also it has Jessica Alba in it. And I can never get a copy if it on DVD.

Back to Final Destination, what is interesting about this movie is it is basically a "snuff" movie, and people get high on seeing other people bites it in creative situations.

Sound on this BD is good (Dolby TrueHD). When things go boom, they go BOOM.

The novelty of this movie does diminish everytime you view it, and have several sequels doesn't help.

Nevertheless, it is a good horror movie

My two sens.
