I made this video essay after watching EVERY Final Destination film and reflecting on the deeper meaning and symbolism. This analysis/breakdown/review gets into death, premonition, intervention and more. From the original 'Final Destination' (2000), directed by James Wong and starring Devon Sawa as Alex Browning and Ali Larter as Clear Waters, through to 'Final Destination 5' (2011) starring Nicholas D'Agosto and Emma Bell, let's examine the horror franchise in which the killer is Death itself.
