The historical status of the "Death is Coming" (Endgame) series in horror films

Don't think you picked the wrong movie, this is what I thought after watching "Piranha 3D".
In the history of horror films and thrillers, there are mainly two categories: one is fluttering white clothes and ghostly shadows, which are mainly used in Japanese and Korean horror films. For example, "Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge". This is to scare you. The other is a big sale of blood plasma, a feast of human flesh, and there are a lot of European and American flavors, such as "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Group Corpse Playing the Boundary". This is disgusting for you.
But "final destination" opened up a new way of horror movies: to make you play. In "Piranha 3D", in addition to disgusting you (and tempting you), it also added to make you play. Wire cutting and motor entanglement have nothing to do with other people's piranhas, and this death indicator cannot be counted on fish. Died by accident, this is the main theme of final destination. Although the steel wire was used in Ghost Ship, the difference is that it is only a bridge arranged for the blood, not the plot.
Final destination takes death by accident as the theme, which breaks through the theme that horror films must have one (or a group) of murderers in the past, push the murderer to fate (or understand it as death), and let the protagonists and supporting actors die in accidents. It's like the PC game Commandos was born, and you're happy to find that it can't be relegated to any of the previous game genres. The final destination is also a reference to it in the new horror film, just like the reference to the bullet time of "The Matrix" in many films, which proves its innovative position in the field of horror films.

PS: 4 stars entirely because of Kelly Brook! The underwater double fish is really powerful. The movie itself is Samsung.
