Trivia

After the car wash sequence, Janet is seen speaking with someone with a clipboard. The wrecker in front of her vehicle is the same one that Carter was killed with. See more »

Goofs

Sprinklers work by holding back water with a heat sensitive liquid filled glass bulb or soldered struts and the heat from a fire burst the bulb/melts the solder allowing water out. In the film the sprinkler head is open, with no bulb or struts so the system must be drained down and the main valve shut (or water would be gushing out all the time). In which case you could fire a flamethrower at it, never mind a bit of burning wood, and it wouldn't activate. See more »

Complete Rubbish, saved by 3D
28 August 2009 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

I went to this movie on the day it came out in London expecting to see something which was like the first 3, but maybe had a little change, maybe a twist from the original 3.. But i was left disappointed as it is the same as the previous 3 and is just obvious and you can just tell whats going to happen. When this situation develops, you are just going to the movie to see gruesome deaths which just send a tingle down your spine of utter disgust. This movie gets 4 stars because of the following 2 stars- 3D 2 stars- acting of Nick Zano (hunt) I don't recommend this film, but if you are a big fan of The Final Destination and are ready to see gruesome deaths based on the same concept in 3D then this movie is for you.

4/10
