This Devastating Final Destination Death Was Unlike Any Other — and It Completely Changed the Franchise
Nora's elevator death scene in Final Destination 2 was so much more than shock and gore — it was a devastating end to a tragic character arc.

In a horror genre where every movie is concocting new ways to terrify fans, few franchises are as accomplished asFinal Destination. Created by Jeffrey Reddick, this film series is renowned for its ability to give people anxiety; each installment's premise of Death killing people in increasingly creative ways has spawned dozens of new death methods for people to be scared of. It's an ingenious approach to your usual slasher that has awed viewers for over two decades with the wild ways these movies decide to kill their cast. Yet while always shocking, it's unfortunate how much this nonstop bloodshed detracts from the emotional stakes of these kills.
