Final Destination Movies: Release Order
The Final Destination franchise is a supernatural horror series centered around the concept that Death has a design, and those who cheat it through premonitions will be hunted down in elaborate accidents. Each film follows a new group of characters who escape a major disaster, only to find themselves dying in increasingly creative and gruesome ways.
This watch list presents the films in their original release order, with each entry building on the mythology while telling largely standalone stories.
