Final Destination director James Wong has discussed why he believes the series is still a hit.
Wong stated on the 25th anniversary of Final Destination that he thinks the strength of the franchise stems from its unpredictability.
Wong, the director of the original Final Destination movie in 2000 and the third installment in 2006, stated in an interview with Bloody Disgusting, “I went into the theater during the first run, because I love watching a movie with an audience.”
“We suddenly saw a bunch of ushers from the theater walk in in the middle of the movie and just stand by the side,” Wong recalled. “And I realised it was right before the bus hit. All they wanted to do was watch how the crowd responded.
