About a decade ago a boy had a premonition about his plane crashing on take off. Freaked out, he and a bunch of other passengers got off the flight and survived. But when they started dying in exactly the same order as they would have on the plane it became apparent that Death was after them.

A few years later, a similar incident occured with a motorway pile up and then with a rollercoaster disaster a few years later again.

So having established that 'Death' gets a tad annoyed when his plans are disrupted by unexplained premonitions, the premotion of a crash at a race track causing the collapse of a stand should come as no surprise.

In many ways, by this point, people should just accept that if they do leave the venue, their deaths may well be more horrible than before, but its hard not to try and escape.

This film is presented in 3D and for some reason the deaths seem more gory than in previous films, where generally they pull their punches at the last second and imply more. However, following films like Resident Evil and other gore-fests, bloodthirsty horror film fans demand more.

If you find blood and guts funny then then this is your kind of film. If you can take it for what it is, a silly concept and a chance to see people die in a variety of strange ways, then this is you'll love it. However, for me, something about this film left me nervous and on edge which is not what you need when you're driving home.

Not one for the easily offended or anyone with a nervous disposition, like me.
