Soul Survivors (2001)
Not as bad as you might first think.
This is not a very good movie, but it's not a stinker either. It is very confusing and unnecessarily long so rent it at your own risk.
My GF and I have figured this movie out (we think) so here it is:
***MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW***
Firstly, this movie is actually quite simple after you remove all of the confusing unconscious-dream-state junk (95% of the movie.)
Ignoring the junk, what REALLY happened is this: A group of school friends go to a rave one night. They leave and get into a car accident where everyone but Cassie and Sean die. That's the simple cut down version. (That's right, I said Sean, bear with me)
Right after the accident, Cassie lays in the hospital stuck in between life & death right up until the very end of the movie. This is where the dream part starts.
The movie is called SOUL Survivors, right? Cassie's mind and soul carries on after the accident interacting with the other souls (Annie, Matt, Raven, the 2 weirdos and Jude) along with images conjured up by her mind (Sean, school and everything else around her). The souls continue doing what they were defined as: Annie the rave-going chick, the 2 weirdo-killers (from opening scene), Father Jude still helping people etc.
We are then taken on a very long ride, shown lots of images (many of which my GF and I still can't tie in) but it all boils down to it not being Cassie's time to die.
At the end, Cassie wakes up in the hospital after being "dead" for a while. Her family and Sean are there. This is reality again. She's OK.
Then the director adds a little extra spice by trying to confuse us again by showing a little dream snippet of her in the wheelchair being strangled. But this part is really just a nightmare, and she wakes up beside Sean, obviously still dealing with her traumatic experience.
Due to space restrictions, we didn't cover every little thing, but feel free to drop us an e-mail if you want to.
Final Destination (2000)
Wow! This movie made me feel all weird inside!
I went to see "Final Destination" expecting to see a good movie. But after the first 15 minutes I realized that I was watching a FANTASTIC movie! I knew that the rest of it would be great and it would have a great ending, and I was right!
This movie is about a group of teens who escape death after leaving a doomed airplane before it took off. Alex, the lead character, feels that this is not the end of their problems, because death will definitely try to come back and finish the job. I sat in suspense throughout the entire movie because I knew something was going to happen sooner of later. And when it did, whooo boy! I thought this movie was well written, and all of the actors did a great job with their parts.
Exciting, suspenseful, surprising and eerie. All elements of a great thriller/suspense movie! See it, you won't be disappointed. 10/10!
