How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A relentless supernatural stalker film where death itself becomes an unstoppable force picking off survivors one by one. It's a taut exercise in inevitability and dread, punctuated by shocking kills that arrive with dark inevitability.

Obviously as a life long Devon Sawa fan and a millennial, Final Destination is iconic. That's not what I'd like to discuss today. It came out the year after Varsity Blues, so they were clearly like "YES, we want Ali Larter, the whipped cream bikini girl, BUT we want her to be an outcast artist/welder, so she has to have long brown hair and bangs until she has friends at the end." Might as well have just given her glasses, a ponytail, and paint on her overalls.
