Seems like you like being traumatised? Good, let’s continue the game. Especially, since the second part is well-known for its log scene, which is considered the most traumatising moment that has influenced the whole generation. What scene are we talking about? Well, even if you haven’t seen the whole film, I’m sure you must have heard of the log scene. It’s the moment where there’s a lorry with logs driving a highway. At some point the chains break and one of the logs goes through the car behind the lorry, killing the driver. As a representative of the traumatised generation, I admit that driving behind such lorries is no longer acceptable. If you do that, please search help. And if you’re a lorry driver transporting logs – what would you like your seat in hell to look like? Anyway, if you’re wondering what happens in this part except the most traumatising scene, let me share it with you. Here comes a SPOILER… so, as you know, Death is a damn good player and our cutiepies from the first part didn’t manage to win with it. That is why we need new characters and we begin with Kimberly (A. J. Cook), a student going for spring break with her friends. On the way, she has a premonition in which she sees a huge accident on the highway they’re about to take soon. The girl panics and blocks several cars from driving into the highway. When the police appears and tries to understand the girl’s behaviour, the accident actually happens, just without Kimberly, her friends and several other cars behind them. Yes, dear readers, that’s our new to-die team. This time, those aren’t only people who know each other, so contacting them and following their deaths becomes a challenge. The only person that may understand Kimberly and actually try to help her is Clear (Ali Larter), known from the first part and the only survivor. She’s in a psychiatric ward, avoiding death at all costs. So is it actually possible to win this game? Well, you’ll have to see. The girls come up with an idea to trick their enemy, which is quite creative, I liked it, but obviously the filmmakers had to complicate it even more. In the end, that wouldn’t be another “Final Destination” film, right? This part is definitely more twisted than the first one, which is a plus, because we don’t stay bored. At least I always have fun with the whole series, so you’ll have to see yourself. This part may encourage you to stop using ladders, look up more often, reconsider taking a lift and definitely never drive behind a lorry with logs. I mean, never. See you for part 3!
