The Steven Quale horror gore film Final Destination 5 has an ending that needs to be discussed again, so we are here to get it explained. Firstly, if you haven’t heard of Final Destination, it is a series of gore films, comic books, and novels. In each installment, a group of people tries to cheat death. Usually, after one of the members of the group has a sudden premonition before a massive tragedy with multiple casualties takes place. While the initial group gets spared from the tragedy, death comes to knock on their doors in often weird, bloody, and mysterious ways.
Final Destination is an innovative series. Because instead of portraying the bad guy as a physical entity, the threat isn’t there. There’s no psychopath with a mask and a knife behind the door. Instead, the screenwriters come up with creative circumstances in the environment to kill the characters. And you got to give them in regards to creativity. While some are scary, all of them are violent, and that’s the movie’s hook for sure.

Candice’s Deadly Gym Death & Isaac’s Buddha Demise
Candice horribly dies while doing an elaborate gym routine after the balance beam collapses, triggering a chain reaction, as per his advice. Her spine breaks as she falls on the uneven bars. Peter is deeply disturbed as Candice dies in front of him. Isaac meets the Grim Reaper in an acupuncture session after she. Isaac makes a poor attempt at flirting with the receptionist, and his offensive jokes land him in a painful session with the reserved Asian woman. The woman leaves her station after putting the needles in place. However, the incense stick’s smoldering ash falls onto the table’s paper, which begins to burn. Meanwhile, Isaac collapses to the floor, and the entire room catches fire. When Isaac breathes a sigh of relief that he is safe, the Buddha statue falls and smashes his head into a pulp.
Olivia’s Eye
Olivia is the next person to die after Isaac. Olivia, agitated by the tragic turn of events, seeks medical help to correct her myopia once and for all. The surgery will be difficult, but Olivia is ready to take the risk. The doctor covers her eye with a beam, clips it in place, and exits the room. By accident, a chain reaction activates the laser beam, causing Olivia’s eyes to be damaged. In the meantime, Sam, Molly, and others arrive on the scene to help Olivia.
They arrive on the scene to find Olivia in a bloody state, but that’s not all; she also trips over her teddy bear’s dislodged eye and falls out of the building. Her eye pops out of her head, only to be squashed by a car moments later, adding to the horror. Three survivors perish in a row, and the deaths cannot be attributed to chance. The mysterious person, on the other hand, appears to the group again and suggests that they might be able to avoid death.
