So, I&#8217;ll admit that I really like &#8220;Final Destination 2.&#8221; Now you may ask what would make a die-hard horror film fan sing the praises of such a questionable movie. Well, quite frankly, it&#8217;s the gore. Lots and lots of gore &#8230; eye socket impacts, heads poppin&#8217; off, slicey-dicey barbed-wire fences, falling plate glass windows, airbag carnage &#8230; it all good! Plus you get that super cool freeway pile-up early on in the film. Yes! Like most modern horror films, &#8220;Final Destination 2&#8221; doesn&#8217;t have any real scares (they haven&#8217;t made a good scary movie since around 1985, with a few exceptions).
