Final Destination 3: When Death Comes Knocking

Thousands of people do it every day, arrive at their final destination following Death’s design. “Final Destination 3” again shows what happens when you interfere with that design; Death comes for you to complete his work.

Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her senior year classmates are celebrating their impending graduation at an amusement park derived of nightmares. When they board the roller coaster that Wendy has been hesitant to ride, she has a premonition of imminent doom. In a fit of hysterics, she is removed from the ride, along with several other students. Immediately following her removal she witnesses her prophesy of disaster come to pass.

Now, having escaped from Death, Wendy morns the loss of her friends but still feels the strong sense of dread she had felt before. It seems that some force is stalking her and giving her clues about fatalities in the making, the horrific deaths of the students that escaped from the roller coaster catastrophe.

Tying back to the first two movies, Wendy is given information from fellow survivor Kevin (Ryan Merriman) about other reported occurrences where people escaped death only to fall prey soon after. Specific references are given to flight 180 where class of students were on a trip to France. A student panicked about a premonition of doom and several classmates were deplaned. Flight 180 exploded on takeoff. Each of the students that deplaned expired shortly after, many under mysterious circumstances. Wendy’s realizes that this is coming to pass as her friends start dying in the order they would have perished on the coaster ride.

Preceding each incident, Wendy is given a warning that Death is coming to collect. Deciding not to give in, she and Kevin begin a crusade to survive. They attempt to warn the next victim and to intervene in Death’s design in the hopes that they will save lives and hopefully change their own fate.
