This Final Destination Instalment Has the Craziest Plot Twist Ever Created, Fans Say
And it is hard to argue with a statement like that.
The creators of any franchise face a serious problem: the announcement of a sequel divides the viewers into those who are happy to see new adventures of familiar characters and those who grumble that it is high time for the authors to stop.
Screenwriters and directors have less and less room to maneuver, and then the backstory of the main characters or villains comes to the rescue – a prequel.
Although Final Destination is merely an entertaining franchise with some of the most inventive and memorable deaths, it is one of the installments in this horror series that can be called one of the most outstanding prequels in history.

Final Destination 5 Features One of the Most Insane Plot Twists in History
The fact that the fifth movie will be a prequel is revealed to the viewers only at the very end – the characters end up on board the same plane that crashes at the beginning of the original film and die in it.
This is both a perfect conclusion to the story and, without exaggeration, one of the most elegant and unpredictable twists in the history of cinema.
Many viewers agree that it was this twist that took Final Destination 5 to a new level. As Reddit user Forssefagerstrom wrote:
“Man what a mind blowing connection. It came out of nowhere but made perfect sense when adding up all the clues. It exponentially made the film multiple times better and the writers should have been promoted.”
The cycle had come full circle, and the screenwriters could not come up with a story that would satisfy the producers.
And while the movie was a box office success and has the highest freshness rating of any installment on Rotten Tomatoes, there was no big news about a sequel until this year.
