The film feels similar in scale here as well, foregoing the over-the-top elaborate deaths of the third film for sequences that at least try to rely more on visual tension than they do on sheer giddy mouse-trap stylistics. Not only are we back in the same unnamed location as the first film, but Tony Todd returns for the first time since the second film to reprise his role as the coroner who explains how this whole "death thing" works. Under first time helmer, Steve Quale, "Final Destination 5" strives to circle the wagons back to the series's roots. Nick D'Agosto's Sam, happy to be alive, now must watch friends and co-workers succumb to increasingly more improbable and graphic demises. Death - that looming, disembodied, ever-present ghoul that hangs over the "Destination" films like, well, like death - is not pleased by this. Thanks to a timely premonition, a gaggle of young folks survives a horrific bridge collapse while on their way to an office team-building retreat. In any event, "Final Destination 5" drops us right back into that reassuringly familiar territory. Then again, the previous film, " The Final Destination," did just over $60 million in the US, but more than $120 million overseas, so perhaps the lack of clamor was more a function of distance than of volume.

As it turns out, that horror franchise may have been with us all along. See all the tour dates underneath the radio chat.Now that Jigsaw has retired his creepy tricycle riding doll and both Jason and Freddy have returned to only middling success, it is high time that a new horror franchise swoops in to fill the void. Thursday's (May 7) show in Ontario, Calif., finds the group performing their 1990 album Danzig II: Lucifuge in its entirety.
with support from Cradle of Filth and Crobot. (For reference, this writer is a Danzig fan who had to shut off Verotika halfway through.)ĭanzig (the band) hit the road this month in the U.S. Have you seen Verotika or Death Rider? If not, what's the hold-up? No time like the present to get into Danzig's filmography. This week, Danzig called out the lack of metal at the Grammys in an interview with Full Metal Jackie. Perhaps they'll continue to boast some star power as well, since Death Rider participants included Devon Sawa ( Final Destination, Casper) and Danny Trejo ( From Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado).
Then I've got a martial arts movie I've been working on for a while, with a knife-fighting assassin. "Like, one-percenter werewolf bikers - outlaw bikers. "Then I'm writing a werewolf biker movie," Danzig added, per Blabbermouth. (Hey, Danzig always was a comic nerd.) It's the second part of Death Rider, as he told Mike Z. Two are sequels.įirst up is The Vampires' Vengeance, its title perhaps a nod to a similarly named Magic: The Gathering card.
Last week, he told 96.7 KCAL's Mike Z he's got four new scripts on deck. Just kidding, of course - Danzig does what he wants. But should he? Viewers who've seen the first two could maybe comment on their…quality.
