Final Destination 3

Mrs Sane bought me Final Destination 3 yesterday as I'm a big fan of the first two films.

As a sequel, and a second sequel at that, I had a nagging doubt in the back of my mind that this would be disappointing. It wasn't.

It wasn't as good as the first film but when Final Destination first came out it was new, something that hadn't been done before. They have obviously realised that they can't recapture the same suspense and atmosphere of the first film because they have concentrated more on gruesome deaths and excellent effects instead.

The deaths in Final Destination 3 are as inventive as they were in the first film but it's far more gory. I won't spoil it for people who haven't watched it but let's just say, I will never be tempted to go on a sunbed for as long as I live!

The DVD has an extra feature where you can choose the path the film takes which apparently gives you the chance to potentially save the characters. It's kind of like those books you used to read as kids (remember when Weetabix gave them away if you collected 3 million tokens?) where you read a few pages and then it gives you a question like "Should Billy go down the cellar steps? If yes, go to page 34. If no, go to page 45" and then Billy gets his head caved in by an axe murderer. I haven't tried this feature out yet but I'll let you know if it's any good when I do.
