Join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob to find out!

Ellis returning to stage another car crash, this time on a speedway, and psychic Nick trying to save the lives of his friends from such threats as a car wash, a swimming pool, and a chain link fence, do inventive deaths inject new life into the Final Destination series?

Best group of reviews from Now Playing that i have heard so far!

I love these movies and have always enjoyed the Now Playing reviews. The chemistry between everyone is great. However, this group of reviews is just flat out hilarious, and over the span of five movies. I highly recommend.

it really did

You'll listen more than you'll watch the movies...

If you're not careful that can happen. Love the retrospective idea and you get stuck in a loop (even w/o my OCD) of having to listen to them all.
