Final Destination 5

Final Destination 5 centres on Sam Lawton, a young man who has a sudden vision of a suspension bridge collapsing while he and his colleagues are on it. Acting on the premonition, he urges several of them off the bridge before it gives way, and so they survive a disaster that kills many others. Their relief does not last: the group comes to understand that death has only postponed its claim on them, and they try to work out how to escape a fate that seems determined to catch up with each of them in turn.

The film is the fifth entry in the horror series and was directed by Steven Quale, arriving between his earlier Aliens of the Deep and the later Into the Storm, Renegades and Black Box. Eric Heisserer wrote the screenplay, and Craig Perry and Warren Zide produced. The cast is led by Nicholas D'Agosto as Sam and Emma Bell as Molly, with Miles Fisher, Ellen Wroe, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and P.J. Byrne among the other survivors; 34 cast members and 88 crew are credited.

Made for a budget of 40 million US dollars, it took 158 million worldwide, a strong return for a horror release. On IMDb it holds 5.9 out of 10 from roughly 150,000 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 6.2 from a much smaller base of about 4,200. A critics' score of 6 out of 10 from 137 reviews places it close to those audience figures.
