When my mom first showed me the 2000 film, Final Destination, I was scared out of my mind. However, after analyzing this unit following the uncanny, I realized that there is a deeper, more eerie part at play in the six-film movie franchise. The movie begins with high schooler Alex Browning who is on an airplane to Paris with his classmate’s awaiting take-off. When Alex suddenly has a premonition that the plane will explode in mid-air shortly after it takes off, he attempts to warn his classmates. This breaks out in a fight, resulting in him and several other classmates being thrown off the plane, which then forces them to watch as the plane really does explode after it has taken off. The fact that Alex predicted this event is strange to his peers, but in reality, it is just uncanny, representing the eerie knack of foreseeing trouble. Although you would think their lives would be spared, the escape of their foretold deaths seen in Alex’s vision leads them to be subjected to more trouble. They begin to die off in bizarre “accidents” created by an unseen force that does not allow them to avert their deaths. This follows the idea that when death is your fate, there is nothing you can do to avoid it, and it will manipulate your environment until it ensures that your fate is fulfilled. This uncanny idea of an uncontrollable possibility is at play throughout the movie, making it a different kind of horror movie. One that sets the mind astray with possibilities of it happening to yourself, of having no control over your fate even if it is averted at first.
