The mortician said that Death has a design.....How do we know that just
by sitting here, by sipping this coffee, or breathing the air, or even crossing
the intersection - that we haven't even started in motion the events
that will some day lead to our death:
The film opens with teenager Alex sitting on Flight 180, awaiting take-off with the rest of his high school French class, when he is blinded by a terrifying vision of the aircraft exploding in mid-air. Gripped with terror, Alex flips out and begs everyone to leave the plane. Of course the rest of his class mates don't take too kindly to this, and neither do the airport staff - and following a struggle he and six other people are ejected from the flight, including his teacher Ms Lewton.
However before the group get the opportunity to get upset about their missed flight Alex's vision comes true...and the plane explodes in mid air. The airport staff grill Alex and his friends, searching for some sort of logical explanation, and the six other survivors struggle to understand how he could have predicted such an event. They all return to their sleepy back water town and that's the end of that....isn't it.
Well when one of the survivors meets a grisly end Alex once again turns up claiming to have foreseen the tragedy....and he soon realises that death should have taken their lives aboard that plane....and that it had followed them home to finish off the job. He works out that death is working in a systematic pattern, and attempts to persuade his friends that he knows who will be the next to die. Of course it takes a few more deaths to persuade his friends that what he is saying is true, including his teacher and a friend who is decapitated by a flying sign....but he feels that they can all cheat death again if they stick together....
However death has a way of getting what it wants, and surely no amount of luck and careful planning can save the group from miserable, albeit ingenious, deaths.....This is certainly a different type of horror film but it is well worth the watch.
