During a bus ride with his colleagues to a corporate retreat, Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) experiences a horrifying vision: the suspension bridge that they -- and many others -- are crossing starts to crumble around them. When his vision ends and, almost immediately, starts to come true, Sam takes quick action that saves a number of people, including his girlfriend, Molly (Emma Bell), and his best friend, Peter (Miles Fisher). However, the survivors soon find that Death will not be denied.

Critics Consensus

It's still only for the gore-thirsty faithful, but Final Destination 5 represents a surprising return to form for the franchise.

Joshua Rothkopf

Time Out

Among this cast of unluckies, there is no future Jamie Lee Curtis. But you do take the film home with you -- to all your own toys -- and that's what decent horror is supposed to do.

Rated: 3/5

Final Destination 5 won't be known for any stellar performances, but first-time feature director Steven Qualye can rest assured he scared the daylights out his audiences.

Rated: B+

I don't have a lot to say about Final Destination 5 save that, for the first time ever, I actually enjoyed sitting in a theatre watching one of these efforts from beginning to end.

Nicholas D'Agosto is probably strongest among the cast here.

The Last Thing I See

Wall-to-wall impalings, eyes popping out all over the place, and wooden post-teen actors dying in horrific, entertaining ways.

This one’s the most direct of the bunch—rough effects, killer death scenes, and an ending that’ll hit you out of nowhere.

“Death has never been closer.” I think this film had one of the worst deaths throughout the franchise. I’m excited to see the next one. The whole twist ending was crazy. 5/5 stars.

The best one yet. Love the suspense in this one and I love how they manage to wrap the list around to the beginning. My only question is, now what?
