Final Destination 2 (2003) – David R. Ellis

Those pesky kids have avoided Death again, and now it’s coming for them one at a time. This time out, the anniversary of the flight crash in the first film is coming up, and maybe that’s what triggers a vision for Kim (A.J. Cook). She sees a huge pile-up that will claim the life of…

Final Destination (2000) – James Wong
