Review of Sole Survivor (2000) by James O — 25 May 2011
Did you think Final Destination was original? Did you think it was a refreshingly new concept that has never been used? Well, if you did, you obviously haven't seen this superior, suspenseful shocker.
It has almost the EXACT same plot line as the Final Destination movies, but with more scares and suspense. When I first read the concept, I wasn't too drawn in. Here it is: "A woman survives a plane crash and soon after that, she sees mysterious people staring at her everywhere she goes.
Is death after her?" Ummm...people STARING at her? Oh, how frightening! Well, there's actually something very, very creepy about these people that you find out 30 min. into the film. In this movie, literally NO ONE is safe, as Death picks off the woman who survived (her name is Denise) and her friends.
It's kind of slow at times, but is altogether a very nice viewing experience. There's not that much blood (besides the grisly plane accident early in the film), but Sole Survivor sacrifices gore for suspense and scares, making this a definite buy.
It was released on DVD by Code Red about a year ago, with all-new special features. If you ask me, it's worth the purchase. Just remember: Death is like a computer; it may make a mistake, but it WILL find it and it WILL fix it.
