10 Movies That Made You Cheer Brutal Moments
2. Final Destination 5 - Candice's Failed Gym Routine
Okay, let's be honest, the only reason The Final Destination franchise was so popular was due to the enjoyment we all got from the brilliant death sequences spread throughout the five films. The series is deliciously clever in allowing you to enjoy each character's death, due to the cleverly convoluted nature of the premise.
This has never been so evident than Candice's disgusting demise at gymnastics training. While we have no doubt that she will face her demise eventually, we are treated to a devastatingly tense scene where aspiring gymnast Candice practices her routine, unaware of the nail she's about to stand on.
After having our hearts in our mouths for the routine, we are temporarily left 'disappointed' when she survives. It doesn't last long however, with a chain of events leading to a fellow gymnast stepping on the nail, falling down and sending powdered chalk into the air. We then get the death we've been waiting for, with Candice's floor routine leading to her breaking her neck before her body violently contorts into a limp and lifeless state.
There are a number of ripping deaths throughout the franchise, but the manner in which this gymnast dies in the final instalment is a personal favourite.
