FINAL DESTINATION

Final Destination is an American horror franchise owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment through New Line Cinema. It includes six films, nine novels, and two comic books. It is based on an unused spec script by Jeffrey Reddick, originally written for the television series The X-Files. The plots involve a group of people who escape death after a visionary has a premonition of an impending disaster. After avoiding their predetermined fates, the survivors are killed one by one by an unseen force, often identified as Death itself, through a series of Rube Goldberg machine–like mechanisms. The remaining survivors then attempt to prevent further deaths by interpreting omens. In addition to the films, a novel series consisting of six original stories and novelizations of the first three films was published throughout 2005 and 2006 by Black Flame. A one-shot comic book titled Final Destination: Sacrifice was released alongside select DVDs of Final Destination 3 in 2006, and a comic book series titled Final Destination: Spring Break was published by Zenescope Entertainment in 2007. The franchise has been praised for its innovative premise, with Death itself being a villain instead of the usual slasher figure, and the creativity of the convoluted yet tense death sequences.
