- It’s time to open old wounds and re-traumatize ourselves with a horror franchise that instilled a fear of… well literally anything and everything -into an entire generation. Final Destination taught us that everybody dies, but what really matters is… who’s next? 💀

There's an old TwilightZone episode where an old woman figured out how Death would show up and take people. So she stayed inside her home and wouldn't let anyone in she didn't already know. Til one night an injured cop falls at her door & begs for help. She supisious of him, eventually let's him in, but keeps her distance. They talk for awhile & she starts to think he's not Death. Until later when someone she knows comes over but doesn't see the cop.
Death says sorry for tricking her but had to find a way in. She nervous finally takes his hand & ask "When does it happen?" Not realizing until she turned around that she just died. There was no pain, no big scary moment, she didn't feel a thing. He tells her family & friends are waiting & they walk off smiling & laughing.
That's how I would love to go. An old lady going in peace with Death looking like a sweet gentleman guiding me by the arm.
I liked that episode. You can't help but feel comforted by Death's words when he speaks to the old lady.
"Am I really that so bad? Am I really that frightening? You talked to me. You confided in me. Have I tried to hurt you? It's not me you're afraid of. You understand me. What you're afraid of is the unknown. Don't, don't be afraid."
The Sandman episode "The Sound of her Wings" is similar! Except it desls with death that isn't painless. The personification of Death is kind and gentle, loves humanity, and just wants to make passing easy and comfortable for the deceased.
I found it online. Now I wana watch it.😂😂😂
The episode is called "Nothing In The Dark"
I watched it and it was so beautiful. It reminded me of 'One for the Angels'. It was always one of my favorite twilight zone episodes. Now I have another favorite.
Devon Sawa is certainly easy on the eyes.
One thing I noticed about the film is the frequent references to water. Water is commonly a symbol of death, burial and resurrection. Death seems to be personified by water in the film. There's the water in the bathroom when Tod dies. There's a scene with Alka-Seltzer being dropped into a glass of water. There's the steaming kettle and the vodka? (which means water in Russian, I think) leaking from the cracked mug. Alex almost drowns in shallow water. There's the canoe trip. There's the swimming-pool. It's raining when they're about to take the plane the first time and when they're in the car. One of the characters is even named "Clear Rivers." Even the beer they're drinking could be considered water. And so on and so forth.
The characters' deaths are foreshadowed in various ways. For example, when Alex agrees to change seats on the plane, Tod makes a hanging motion. There's the sword/knife in the stained-glass window at teacher Lewton's house. Etc.
An amusing thing to note is that when Carter escape's death at the railroad tracks, he looks to have peed his pants. Can't say I blame him, though.
Another thing I saw was the use of German language and references to German filmmakers who were known for some famous, what you might call, horror movies. "Der Tod" is the German word for "death." Tod's the first survivor to die. In real life, if I were him, I wouldn't like that name and would have been very concerned from the get-go after the plane exploded. The character of teacher Murnau is almost certainly a reference to the F. W. Murnau, a German director regarded as one of the most influential filmmakers for his work in the silent era. He famously directed "Nosferatu," a film about a vampire. Agent Schreck is a reference to the German actor Max Schreck who played the vampire, Count Orlok, in "Nosferatu." Interestingly, "Schreck" in German means "scare" or "fright." Agent Weine must be named after Robert Weine. He directed "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."
Death is not the end!
Clear?? More like ClearLY I’m obsessed with her!!!!!
grew up watchin ali on varsity blues so when i first saw dis at 12 y/o all i thought was “darcyyyy” lol
She was one of my Heroes.
@@nilesstark lol i see wutchu did there . she n hayden panettiere - oof , boy do i love those women 💞💞😩
omg hiiiii
Even though she was part of a Biohazard (Resident Evil)… She came out on top!
14 year old me still has nightmares about this movie. I grew up watching all of these movies from childhood to adulthood. I am 37 now and this movie is still one of my favorite horror movies along with 2, 3 and 5.
I remember commercials for Final Destination 3 showing the tanning bed scene scaring the absolute crap outta me! Also, fun fact: Final Destination was originally written as an X-Files episode that never happened. The FBI agents in the movie were originally going to be Scully and Mulder.
I did not know this, now I want to see it as x-file now
It was kind of reformed into a Fringe episode later on. 🔥
When he said "U don't wanna FUCK with that mac daddy," I felt that
Love the paranoia of this movie. Any second something could happen. Every little thing could somehow lead to a terrible accident.
The second one definitely made younger me paranoid but for regular everyday stuff like thinking I'd get a mustard on my shirt from a hotdog but only if I wore a specific light colored shirt so I'd wear a dark one lol
Still checking the tray thingie everytime I board an airplane!
Fun Fact: There were some deleted scenes in where Alex and Clear hookup, Clear finds out she's pregnant these led to an Alternate Ending where Alex grabs the wire, but instead of being knocked off the power line, he stays on, catches on fire and dies. Clear lives and has his baby and meets with Carter and they both do the "moral of the story" thing. But the Test Audience didn't like the ending and they changed it.
I saw this opening day in theaters and when the bus hit the girl 200 people gasped and then total silence...it was one of the most shocking things we had all seen in a cinema!
I love this movie. And no word of a lie, I swear this is true, the first time I watched it was because I was staying over a friend's house and we rented it to watch from the video store. Why was I staying over his his house? Because we were both going on a senior class trip in the morning....to fucking Paris! Imagine us thinking this whole movie was just a premonition for what our lives would be the next day lol
I always think about Final Destination whenever I’m stuck behind a logging truck on the highway.. 😳🤣
I really hope the whole franchise is reacted to. Also, if you haven't seen it, I recommend House On Haunted Hill (1999) Jean Grey AND Clear Rivers star in the film
There was a time back in the late 90s and early 2000s where I had the biggest crush on Ali Larter. I still maintain that the first Final Destination movie is the best and my favorite.
The second one is pretty iconic. I’ll never drive behind another log truck without thinking of it.
Tod's death is the most gruesome for me
for me the teacher is the most iconic death of the series (aside from the begining of 2 but I mean most memorable death that wasn't a fucking massacre but those stacked logs still make me nervous on the road to this day)
Im so excited! Not enough people react to these series!! 😭
Not gonna lie, I had a HUGE crush on Devon Sawa growing up, so I was hyped when this movie came out! 😂
same lol een tho i wasnt een born when it came out 😭
@@damagedemoangel666 That’s okay! You can still watch his movies and crush over him regardless! 😆 He’s 7 years older than me, but I still crushed watching all his movies. Lol.
@@KrystleLovesHorror he’s 26 yrs older den me n i still think he gorgeous 💗😌
He was in a movie called the fanatic a while ago and I said to myself “Devon Sawa is still alive?” I was almost positive he died.
Lololol, I'm dying over the whole "could you get back on a plane?" I've been saying the same damn thing over on the Yellowjackets thread 😂
This franchise iconic alone for the fact that thousands of people get extra carefull when driving behind logging trucks
Y’all in for it with this franchise!!! 💀
This movie was inspired by a Twilight Zone episode known as '22' which also has a nightmare and a plane exploding on the runway.
I'd love to see you guys react (rewatch?) to another Devon Sawa classic Idle Hands. I've only seen it a few times but no one ever talks about it
We’ve never seen that and it’s actually on our list! 👋🏻
Them: “Everyone’s wearing flannel.”
Well yeah, we’re just coming out of the 90’s.
You two should make a movie of your own: "The Devon Sawa Thirst" I like this franchise.
The Sawa Saga
my day is instantly better when I see a new petty pumpkins video
same
That whole back and forth for Clear and Alex's deaths was pretty fun.. just kept having to switch between them, because they kept escaping death over and over
But since Carter was still alive, I wonder if we also escaping death over and over off screen so it kept cycling through them.. that would be a funny clip
I had a boyfriend who was a pilot explain to me once that planes are more stable in the air, like, they are designed to be in the air and you're pretty safe in the air inside one- even if something goes wrong, most of the time the plane can be kept in the air long enough to resolve most problems. Its the take off and landing that's always the scary part for me, and statistically when somethings gonna go wrong LOL
18:17 dad napping but then the wire chokes him making him say choke HELP
I love this franchise.
same 💗
This franchise is SO good (except for the fourth entry). The deaths are extremely original.
Cant wait for the next reactions... and the new movie🤩!
I’ve watched your reaction like 5 times, I forgot how wild this movie is! Hope you guys cover the rest of the series! 😁❤
IRL that plane would have been completely emptied and checked before takeoff.
It would still explode but..
So happy you’re doing commentary on these ❤ one of my fave horror franchises! Can’t wait for the rest!
AHHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! PLEASE do all of them, or at least most. Ive been wanting to see your reaction because i know you guys would have hilarious commentary 🎉
Is it bad that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd films are my comfort movies? 😭
Love this franchise! I think the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th are the best. We don’t claim the fourth movie
My man Alex is LITERALLY Bruno Madrigal 😂 Getting blamed for reporting the forecast. We don't talk about Bruno.
Is funny how all these deaths are so convoluted when you can die just from a heart attack or cancer
Yesss I've been hoping y'all would do these movies! 🙏🏼
So excited for this please do the rest we love this franchise!!!
This is my FAVORITE line in the whole franchise! - 08:23 . Honestly it's *so* underrated.
-"Fuck you! I'll remove myself!"
Second video I've watched from you two. Already know I'm gonna love it.

So happy guys for this video reaction. It's one of my favourite movies, and yes, I watched it when it got first realised.

@@veronicaaccouche1478 ……… 😵💫it sucked donkey balls

The funeral director is the final girl of this franchise
Watching this at 31 has been fun! Haha. Damn this movie came out in 2000 so it is 24 years old that’s Insane to think about.
😱
Husband and I are working on getting our setup and tech in place so we can make our own channel, and I hope we can do as good as you guys are. Haven't regretted my subscription, you guys are so relatable 😅 I feel like I'm just chilling watching movies together...
You can do it!!!! Good luck, we hope it works out for yall! And thank you for the support 🤗🤗
I've been dying for this reaction!! 😭🤲❤️
There was one time I was lighting up a cigarette outside a medical clinic and saw a truck pass by that had "Combustion" written on the side in big letters... I was like "Hell Naw!"
You guys are my favorite reactors now..
When you said "you don't remember how she dies?"about the teacher. Then looked at the camera 😂
I was like ooohh girl.. get ready..lpl
I always thought she had the best death. Acting wise . Definately the scariest and most nerve wracking
My favorites are 2, 3 and 5!
I was today years old… watching This Very Reaction… when I learned Devon Sawa was the beautiful boy from Final Destination!!! 🤦🏿♂️ Well he’s Daddy Now! 😏
I legit just like watching movies with yall at this point lmao
Yessss yall know me from Twitter and my Sawa love now I know my idle hands is in future lol love yall
Love you guys from a straight man you guys channel is the most entertaining on TH-cam funny AF keep killin it
Thank you for flying BlahBlahBlah. Your in-flight movie will be “Final Destination”.
Yasssss!!! My favorite franchise!
These movies are what perpetuated my paranoid lifestyle 🥰
fuck yeah! I'm IN for this journey, final destination franchise is such a iconic one, can't wait for the rest of it
I love me some petty Pumpkins 🎃
If I remember correctly the first film was originally supposed to be an episode of the X-files but was turned into a film and I think the fbi agents have the same names
Something i always wonder about this, say you get sick enough you can't go and not involved with any of the premonition stuff, are you subject to death coming back for you or are you spared because you were destined to not go?
I CANT BELIEVE YOU WATCH FINAL DESTINATION. THIS MOVIE IS ONE MAKE PEOPLE SCARED FOR DECADES. Final Destination 2 is one of my favorite final destinations
I absolutely LOVE Ali Larter, who won my heart as "Brooke" in "Legally Blonde." The goddess that Reese Witherspoon defends in the murder trial.
If someone freaked out like Alex that would freak me out too much knowing someone said something bad will happen to the plane.
Great franchise, especially first to films. Can't wait to see the 6th one
34:17 would love the Mythbusters to try dropping a knife from counter height onto a ballistic gel dummy, i don't think it would actually go that far in, especially considering ribcages exist
I've often wondered if I'd choose pate or the shreds or chunky kind of wet cat food if I was starving and had nothing else to eat.
Now, I love chunky soup, so I think that's promising for the chunks. I don't love chicken noodle soup, but I like pulled meat, so maybe shreds would be good. And when I tell you the first time I ever had duck liver pate was at a wedding when I was 19 or 20, and I ate like 3 FULL appetizer trays of it BY MYSELF, so maybe I could convince myself the pate cat food is just cheap rougher cut duck liver pate. Or I could blend it up to MAKE it smoother and silkier and, therefore, more passable.
Oh the random ass thoughts we have when we feed our cats...😂😂😂
I love these movies, but also it has a side effect. Every time I watch them I get uberly paranoid. I look at everything like it could kill me... good times ... good times.... xD
"Cause we believe twinks" lmao
I love these movies. Lol
This movie caused a paranoia within me that has not gone away
Death is petty in these movies.
Clear is my favorite love Ali Larter she stars in the resident evil movies some of them .
Am I the only person who’s noticed Devon Sawa’s nose is totally different now? Like it’s been squashed.
The end of June is the beginning of fall? 😂😂😂 lucky you! The end of October is the beginning of fall here (SC). It is not improbable that it’ll be 85 degrees on Halloween…same for Christmas.
Lol we live in Texas so the weather is very much the same here 😂 but mentally once pride is over it’s autumn in this household!!!
I'm waiting for them to react to the rest of the movies
the plane emergency/explosion in this movie is the scariest ever. the movie is pretty cheesy overall (in a fun way) but that scene is legit terrifying, ugh.
I just found your guys channel! I’m already obsessed 🫶🏻 These movies are my absolute favorite! I def recommend watching all of them! You won’t be disappointed
This was originally written as an episode of x files. I like to think the agents were meant to be mulder and scully
You're probably right. Makes sense.
And this is the reason why I don't travel by plane
Easy Baked Coven!
I was born when this movie came out I was 4 months old
Defying? Well.. maybe not that lol
This is a classic. And I didn't know that there was another FD coming out! I guess they want to make a new generation as paranoid as those of us who grew up with these films. Seriously I was driving a few cars behind a log truck a month ago and I don't care how secure those logs were, my heart was in my throat the whole time until I left the highway.
We believe twinks!
THIS MOVIE ALONE IS WHY I DON'T OWN A KNIFE BLOCK.
All my knives go in the drawer, lol. Although I DO want a magnetic knife strip... I feel like THAT would be safe.
But TBH, Scream 6 kinda made me want to buy one just in case I ever need to beat the shit out of someone with it😂😂😂. You never know.
But SERIOUSLY, ALWAYS tuck your hand towel into your pants/pocket/apron, hang it over the handle on your oven, or put it through one of your refrigerator door handles. ALL ARE BETTER OPTIONS THAN PUTTING IT OVER YOUR KNIFE BLOCK.
As an EMT, you learn, "Always keep your eyes on sharp objects. The only thing that should EVER be covering them is a lid/cap or something you can see through." Otherwise, assume your workstation IS a giant sharp.
You know, kind of like "the floor is lava."
this franchise made me have fear of surviving a acident 😭
So many people died and gruesomely.
It's so fun! 😂
Final destination 3 is the best ❤❤
Was that girl (Ali Larter) an orphan? You never see her parents. 😥
Never liked Devon Sawa. He was more my sisters crush. I was always lusting for Kerr Smith tho lmao
