Summary
I’ll always love theScreamfranchise the most, but I’m also a big fan ofFinal Destination. I appreciate that the funhorrorfranchise hasone of the most distinct villains ever seen in the genre (Death itself). In every movie, the main characters are supposed to die in some epic, terrifying, and gruesome way. When they escape death, it’s only a matter of time before they find themselves in another life-or-death situation.
AlthoughDevon Sawa won’t reprise his rolein the upcomingFinal Destination: Bloodlines, there’s still a lot to look forward to, including the famous campy tone.Fans have ideas about the sixthFinal Destinationmovie, and these storylines would all be great. ButI think thatFinal Destination 6should have a scene that rivals the best and most memorable from the entire franchise.
Which Scene Should Final Destination 6 Top?
The most exciting scene from the entire horror franchise isthe opening sequence ofthe sequelFinal Destination 2, also known by fans as “the log scene.“The movie’s main character,Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook), has a premonition of a deadly pileup on Route 23 caused by a truck carrying logs. Of course, the most terrifying thing is that she’s driving down this road at the very moment that she has the vision. Although Kimberly lives, she has to fight for her life throughout the rest of the movie. Like Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) in the originalFinal Destinationmovie from 2000, Kimberly is haunted by the victims and the fact that she lives.
Jeffrey Reddick, the creator ofFinal Destination, toldDread Centralin 2022 thatthe sixth movie “doesn’t follow that kind of formula that we’ve kind of established.“However, I thinkFinal Destination 6will have a scary and unforgettable opening scene, and I have some ideas about it.
According to an article onJo Bloin 2023,Final Destination: Bloodlinesgets its title from the main character, Stefani, who has a nightmare about her grandma cheating death. It turns out her grandma didn’t die in a tower several decades ago, and now Death is going after the people related to those victims.Final Destination 6could beat the log scene by showing the incident at the tower in gruesome and grim detail. From people falling out of windows to the tower possibly collapsing, there is no shortage of horrible ways for people to meet their end here.
The log scene is so hard to stop thinking about because it feels realistic. Unlikeslasher movies with masked killers,Final Destination 2starts with a disaster that could happen. Although some might say that that number of logs couldn’t really escape and kill people, it’s easy to imagine a highway pileup that turns fatal. I think thatFinal Destination: Bloodlineswill have an opening scene that makes this much of an impact, especially since it’s been several years since the fifth movie was released. The filmmakers will definitely want to impress audiences.
Even Sawa, who also starred inthe SyFy TV seriesChucky, has talked about this infamous scene. In December 2023, according toEntertainment Weekly, the actor posted a photo on Instagram of a truck. He wrote in the caption:
“Driving behind this log truck carrying Christmas trees and thought I’d wish you all a Happy Holidays!”
What Do Fans Think Of The Final Destination Log Scene?
Fans continue to talk about theFinal Destination 2log scene, and many are still freaked out by the sequence inthis popular horror franchise. In aRedditthread about which scene is the scariest, Redditor @Tiny_Shine5828 wrote:
“Probably just because I live in an area that does a lot of logging. So the trucks are common. Worst was the day I was on a highway. One passed by just as a falling rock sign appeared.”
Redditor @Buttermilk-Waffles replied:
“It will always be the one with the log truck for me, to this day I avoid getting near those things on the highway lol.”
Redditor @forever_a10ne added, “If you see a logging truck on the highway in front of you and you don’t immediately switch to a lane that’s not right behind it then you haven’t seenFinal Destination 2.”
Like the opening scene starring Drew Barrymore in the originalScreammovie from 1996,theFinal Destination 2opening is one of the most terrifying and haunting in any horror franchise. Just like I wantScream 7to have an even better opening sequencethan the one featuring Casey Becker, I thinkFinal Destination6’s beginning will make horror fans very happy.
