When Final Destination was released in 2000, it was different from any horror film we'd ever seen. Sure, all the trademarks of a post-Scream era slasher were there, with a young cast, a final boy or girl, lots of blood and guts, and a high body count, but unlike Scream or slashers such as Halloween before it, this killer couldn't be seen. Rather than being some guy in a mask with a knife, the villain in Final Destination was death itself. The grim reaper isn't represented by a physical form, but is an invisible force. This set the movie apart from anything else in the horror genre — but it also hindered it. Not having a Ghostface or Michael Myers limited how Final Destination could promote itself or make money off merchandise. Is there a way to change this?
