For the final installment of the series we are treated to a different age group – we aren’t high schoolers, or even college students, we are a group of co-workers on a work retreat bus trip. On a bridge. There are even sailboats involved. It’s much less fiery than then last few incidents, but more chances of drowning and getting squashed by vehicles.
Sam is our main man for this one, tasked with preventing the gruesome demise of his co-workers, friends, ex-girlfriend and boss. It’s quite the social dynamic this time around. And they brought back our good friend, the coroner from the first two films. I loved seeing him again. He adds another layer of foreboding to the atmosphere. There is another character that would have been great to bring back too, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.
I am pleased to see that another theory was brought up between the survivors and that it worked, and that it drove one of them crazy, leading to a very thrilling climax. This was a good one.
My Rating: ★★★★
