10 Horror Movies Critics Were WAY Too Harsh On

There's one word to describe Final Destination's elaborate death scenes - gnarly.

After seeing the plane he is due to fly to France in explode in a premonition, teen Alex tries to evade 'Death,' in an increasingly inventive series of misadventures that are so much fun to watch, it's practically interactive. Empire's Adam Smith wrote this review: "The good natured carnage is only occasionally let down by a bog-standard chase finale and a script that occasionally feels as though it's being delivered by Austin Powers' Basil Exposition."

Poor Ms. Lewton gets it the worst - an exploding computer fires glass in to her neck while simultaneously setting the house on fire, moments before she tips a collection of razor sharp knives into her chest - and is still breathing before the cooker explodes, hammering a blade through her torso. Seann William Scott loses his head neatly right after nearly being run over by a train, it's that level of 'blink and you'll miss it' gross-out fatalities that became the attraction of the series, ending neatly with The Final Destination.

Horror buffs might have noticed that the last names of many of the characters are those of famous players in the horror genre; Browning, Murnau and Hitchcock being famous directors, Schreck and Chaney being actors of Dracula and The Phantom Of The Opera respectively.
