Final Destination 4 has a cast, and if you can believe it, it’s even more filled with spares than the last one. Not that it matters, they’re all going to end up dead anyway.
Variety says Shantel VanSanten (who is pictured to your right and has in the past played such characters as “Beautiful Girl” and “Hot Date”), Bobby Campo, and Hayley Webb will star in the horror sequel while Nick Zano, Krista Allen, and Andy Fiscella play second bananas. David Richard Ellis, who directed the second (and in my opinion worst of the bunch) sequel returns to take the reigns on this one.
As with all the other movies, a deadly accident happens, and a group of super-hot teenagers somehow avoid it, thus cheating death. This, as always, pisses death the hell off and it comes back after them with a vengeance. In this case, the accident is a racecar crash, which seems kind of like a bad idea. The other Final Destinations used accidents that tapped into our already existing fears. A plane crash, a traffic accident, a roller coaster disaster. That stuff is scary, people have nightmares about it. I’ve never met anyone who’s scared of getting in a racecar crash. On the other hand, I don’t hang out with a lot of NASCAR fans. Maybe it keeps them awake at night, thinking of Dale slamming into that wall, or whatever it was that he splattered on.
This fourth Final Destination movie is being shot in 3-D, so expect a lot of annoying “stuff flies at the camera” crap. Kids love that.
