Films like Final Destination.

Final Destination (2000) reads as Sombre, breathless, extreme supernatural / franchise, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
