To top its predecessors, this installment had its introductory big scene set in stock car racing, which is the perfect avenue for a hundred and one things to go wrong, and when they do, have thousands of potential victims to pick off from.
While the very first movie had a spectacular, and some say too realistic for good taste in having witness from within a plane break up and explode upon take-off, this one had an adrenaline pumping race that got enhanced thanks to the latest gimmick in town… 3D.
The movie starts off pretty good, the premonition sequence works fantastically with the 3D, even though it’s not as good as part two’s brilliant car pile-up.
This film also contains the most ironic and funniest death scene in the whole series but since everyone knows that people go watch these movies for the death scenes, we’ll keep quiet.
One paradoxical thing we should say is that the death scenes in here are more for quantity than quality, which is quite unfortunate, but these deaths work really well with the 3D.
On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O’Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him.
When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave…escaping seconds before Nick’s frightening vision becomes a terrible reality.
Thinking they’ve cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning…. very nice!
enjoy!
