DESTINATION 2
With Ali Larter, A.J. Cook, Michael
Landes
Directed by David R. Ellis
The first installment of this
teen shocker had its moments - a bunch of kids miss out on death by not boarding
a doomed plane, so death comes after them one by one, dispatching them in all
sorts of innovative ways. This time round? A girl has a vision of a car pile-up
and holds up traffic, preventing a bunch of people from dying in the crash. The
result? Yes, they all get stalked by death in, guess what, all sorts of innovative
(and hilariously gory) ways! Rope in the sole survivor from the first to assist
our doomed folk and you have a regurgitated throw-away movie experience with only
as much substance as the FX crew put into it. The cheap shots and lame scares
throughout the film are only outweighed by the pretty spectacular car smash highlight
in the first 10 minutes.
