Synopsis: Death can’t be cheated, or so it appears to Hunt (Nick Zano). Even though the teen was able to prevent the demise of his friends from a horrific crash during a car race (thanks to a premonition), he can’t seem to keep the grim reaper now from claiming those who escaped this fatal fate.

Studio: New Line Cinema

Director: David R. Ellis

Stars: Nick Zano, Krista Allen, Andrew Fiscella

Content Information:

This additional information about the movie’s content is taken from the notes of various Canadian Film Classification boards:

Violence:

- Pervasive depictions of gruesome deaths (blood, gore, and detailed wounds are shown).

- Infrequent gory and grotesque images.

- Brief visually explicit portrayals of violence.

- Frequent disturbing scenes, along with portrayals of intense fear and emotional suffering.

- Suicide is implied (no blood or detail shown).

Sexual Content:

- Frequent use of crude sexual language and references.

- Simulated sexual activity (breast and buttock nudity and some detail are shown).

Language:

- Frequent use of the sexual expletive in non-sexual contexts.

-Frequent use of scatological slang and vulgar expressions.

- Infrequent use of ethno-cultural and sexual slurs.

Drugs and Alcohol:

- Portrayal of alcohol consumption while driving.

- Tobacco use.

Of Special Note:

The Final Destination will be shown in 3D in select theaters.

Glimpses of the future also plague characters in the movies Premonition and Déjà Vu. Cheating death proves a pricey problem in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
