Alternate Versions
The DVD features the following deleted scenes:
A love scene between Alex (Devon Sawa) and Clear (Ali Larter) on the beach;
A pregnacy test which reveals that Clear is pregnant from having sex with Alex;
A third ending where Alex is electrocuted and dies. After having their child, Clear has the gift of seeing "death" before it happens. Carter (Kerr Smith) also survives.
Inventive, effectively eerie spine-chiller is a step up in the teen horror genre. High schooler Sawa has a horrific vision of his plane crashing just moments before its departure on a class field trip. He and several others exit the plane only to discover that it does in fact crash, but things take a shocking turn when the remaining survivors begin to die in the most mysterious ways. Story is intriguing, the suspense flows well throughout, and there are enough violent deaths to satisfy the target audience. The ending is a bit of a disappointment and should have been planned out better, but overall this is one of the better films of the genre. ***
