10 Worst Movies From Otherwise Great Franchises
3. The Final Destination - Final Destination Franchise
Other Films: Final Destination, Final Destination 2, Final Destination 3 and Final Destination 5.
Much like the aforementioned Purge series, the Final Destination franchise is an unusually consistent horror franchise. Out of the five films to date, four of them are good horror films (though not without issues) and incredibly fun to watch. The second film is a tiny bit weaker, but not by much, and there's only one bad Final Destination flick: this... thing.
With a dramatically flat screenplay, lifeless characters, a fatal lack of suspense and what is genuinely one of the Worst casts ever seen in a commercially released horror film, this is a creatively bankrupt sequel if there ever was one.
The opening racetrack disaster is well-done, so watch that, but everything afterwards is not worth your time. Worse still, even if you think it might just be a fun B-Movie, it isn't. There's no effective comedy, the gore is weak and nearly all of the death scenes are ripped off from the earlier films.
