Warner Bros has unleashed the second trailer for their upcoming horror film Final Destination 5.
The second of the “Final Destination” films shot in 3-D, Final Destination 5 is directed by Steve Quale. The screenplay is written by Eric Heisserer, with revisions by Gary Dauberman; Heisserer is no stranger to the horror genre, having penned New Line’s recent hit A Nightmare on Elm Street.

But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”
A Nightmare on Elm Street Review
