Not quite up to the relatively lofty standards of the spooky almost-classic released by New Line Cinema three years ago -- with franchise founders Glen Morgan and James Wong having moved on -- "Final Destination 2" is nonetheless a gory good show for fans of R-rated horror mayhem. Probably headed for boxoffice grosses a few leagues north of its progenitor, "FD2" is director David R. Ellis' second feature, and it certainly relishes finding inventive ways to kill off its cast, most of whom are marked for personal demises after being caught in a "rift in death's design." Original writer Jeffrey Reddick is an executive producer on the current film and shares story credit with screenwriters J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress.
