And there are so many reasons why Final Destination 2 is the best of the lot.

Like its predecessor, Final Destination 2 revolves around the main character (Kimberly) having a premonition about an impending disaster. Once she intervenes, death begins picking off the survivors of this disaster in a series of grizzly and gruesome accidents.

What makes Final Destination 2 so good is the painstaking amount of effort David R. Ellis and his team put into the highway disaster scene and the deaths that ensue. Most of the spectacles are done via practical effects, with the log truck accident still standing as one of the finest stunts in the horror genre.

The fact that this disaster and the bulk of the accidents in the movie take place during the middle of the day helps remind audiences that death can come for anyone at anytime.
