Product Information

Have the survivors truly cheated death, or, as they begin dying in mysterious ways, are they merely living on borrowed time? The series is noteworthy among other horror films for its use of an antagonist that is not a stereotypical slasher or other physical being, but Death manifested, subtly manipulating circumstances in the environment with a design on claiming anyone who previously escaped their fated demise. The characters' deaths are brought about by "a series of neutral gestures, a set of constraints that will ultimately lead to their conflagratory ends"; these include the placing of a drink, looking through CDs, and an ill-chosen doorstop.

Nora Carpenter leaves shortly afterwards, only to be decapitated while trying to escape an elevator.

Julie's friend Perry Malinowski backs up in fear just as a flagpole flies through her chest, killing her.

During the crash, Janet is crushed underneath the truck, Lori has her neck twisted between the truck and a pillar, and Nick is thrown into a wall.

Seconds before the coaster takes off, Wendy has a vision of the coaster derailing, killing everyone on board.Director James Wong said that unlike the second film, which was closely tied to the first and continued its story, the producers always envisioned Final Destination 3 as a stand-alone sequel featuring new characters.
