Final Destination (2000) | Episode 57 | The Dreadcast
Saturday Oct 14, 2023
Saturday Oct 14, 2023
Grandpa Simpson once said that Death is all around you. The man knew what he was talking about especially when it comes to our band of horrific plane crash survivors here in this weeks episode on Final Destination. Can our rag tag group of suvivors figure out deaths plan for them all, or cheat the rules they simply made up? One things for sure....Aidan and Tom are probably the first to go!

We're at the halfway mark now of The Dreadcast's ongoing Monsters of Universal series and this time, the duo have found themselves with a film from the studios that neither have seen. The movie adaptation of H.G Wells sci-fi/horror novel, The Invisible Man. Is it based on a true story??

We cant just go straight into these big Horror franchises with their best installments. We have to filter out the dirge and lesser known ones for you all first, and what better example to go with than the 4th entry in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series 'Next Generation'. Featuring both a young and new to the scene Matthew Mcconaughey & Renée Zellweger, this movie offeres something....different compared to its predecessors. Unfortunately, not in a good way!
