Death (Final Destination)
Final Destination is a series of American horror films based on an unproduced spec script written by Jeffrey Reddick he originally submitted to the X-Files television series.
Distributed by New Line Cinema, all five films are centered on the themes of fatalism, predestination, and precognition, in relation to death (i.e. how to foresee, avoid or control it).
In a less abstract sense, each film features a group of people dying in a series of elaborate and often gory scenarios that frequently resemble Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity.
The series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre in that the "villain" of the movies is not the stereotypical slashers, monsters, creatures, beasts, ghosts, or demons.
It is the entity Death itself (very occasionally seen as a fleeting shadow), which manipulates the environment in deadly ways with the intent of "recapturing" those who somehow manage (usually through premonitions) to escape their fates the first time.
In addition to the films, a novel series (which includes the novelizations of the first three films) was published throughout 2005 and 2006 by Black Flame, and a comic series titled Final Destination: Spring Break was published by Zenescope Entertainment in 2007.
