§ ◎内容简

◆ 剧情 ◆

《绝命终结站2》的故事发生在第一集事件的1年之后。上一集的主角终究在死神面前束手就缚了,但当人们开始渐渐淡忘那些陈年旧事的时候,历史却再次重演了。

新任女主角金·柏莉为了与大学好友庆祝假日的到来,准备进行一趟阳光之旅——边开车边Party来度过快乐时光。在路上好友们发现高速公路上的车速越来越快,而这时候金·柏莉眼前却恍惚闪过一连串真实得让人难以相信的连环车祸恐怖景像,并且她与朋友都将惨死轮下。

“小心驶得万年船”,被自己的预感吓得心惊肉跳的金·柏莉决定立刻开离高速公路。就在公路警察上来盘查的一刻,怵目惊心的连环车祸终于发生了。令人吃惊的是,这场造成纽约历史上最严重的交通堵塞的车祸。与预感不同的是,金·柏莉临时改道而救下的5位好友和公路警察汤姆斯能够大难不死、逃出生天。但她们还不知道的是,盛怒的死神决不会轻易放弃对漏网之鱼的追杀,一场新的惨剧很快在幸存者的周围蔓延开来。

尽管有金·柏莉的预知能力,好友们还是逃不出自己的终极命运。很快,金·柏莉也发现死神并没有忘记自己。为了能阻止死亡连锁的继续,金·柏莉与汤姆斯走到了一起,并找到曾经成功躲过第一集180号班机坠机事件的克莉儿寻求帮助。克莉儿根据自己的经验提醒她多注意周遭环境的暗示,但遗憾的是这对她们的帮助并不大。尽管金·柏莉自己总能依靠预感避开大祸,但是她身边的朋友终究还是一个接一个地被死神拖向地狱。

为了打破死亡连环,金·柏莉毅然驾车冲向湖中,却又一次幸运地被救起。从昏迷中清醒过来的金·柏莉发现,这一次死神似乎真的被蒙蔽了,一直以来的噩梦仿佛都停止了…… 但是一时的平静无法代表永恒的安逸,难道金·柏莉真就能成为例外,逃过死亡的魔爪么?

◆ 幕后 ◆

2000年的《绝命终结站》第一集中,全线都是名不见经传的青春演员。而作为一部投资只有2300万美金的恐怖片来说,其成绩可谓骄人——首周票房便收回一半投资,高达1000万美金,累计票房更超过5300万美金,令新线公司赚了个盆满钵翻。因此,3年后的今天新线公司再推续集也就不是什么一件令人意外的事了。不过,一部续作竟然从主演、导演,到剧本、配角全面大换血,几乎全面抛弃第一部中的所有主创人员,这样的做法即使在光怪陆离的好莱坞也是极其少见的。

首先是上一集主角Alex的饰演者,青春帅哥戴文·萨瓦终究还是逃不出死亡线,被制作人员安排在第二集故事发生的5个月之前死亡,不免让人对这位眉宇间颇具忧郁气质的青年男星表示惋惜。取而代之的则是一位靓丽性感的女性新人——AJ·科可。而第一集中的华裔导演黄毅瑜(James Wong),在第一集上映后便一直忙于为李连杰拍摄新片《救世主》。所以新线公司请来了在好莱坞混迹多年的老牌导演大卫·艾理斯。有趣的是,大卫·艾理斯独力导演的影片并不多,他在《绝命终结站2》之前只有一部1996年的影片《猫狗也疯狂2》(Homeward Bound II)是由他自己导演拍摄的。但是,有他担任副导演的大片分量之重却令人乍舌,例如今年即将上映的《骇客帝国2》、以及前年的《哈里·波特》、《完美风暴》等片中,都能在导演栏中看到他的名字。这位总是站在大制作的背后却又极少能见到他亲自出招的导演,倒让人联想起武侠小说中深藏不露的武林高手。

剧本主创人员同样也是大变动,第一集的剧本原创杰弗里·雷迪克在续作中仅负责角色形象创作,仅仅挂名而已。剧情创作的工作,则完全由艾瑞克·布莱斯与J·马奇·格鲁博这两位在美国电影界初出道的新人组合来担任。配角方面,第二集只保留了第一集故事中唯一的幸存者——艾丽·拉特,与另一位以“蜜蜂人”(Candyman)闻名的黑人客串演员托尼·托德。当然这样的全面换血也不能完全责怪制作公司的无情,毕竟第一集中的角色按照剧本安排已经全都死光光了。

虽然整个演职员班底都已经全面的更换,但是续集中的剧情模式仍是照搬前作中的结构。除了将飞机失事换成了公路车祸、中学换成大学等等这些换汤不换药的表面改动之外,便了无新意了。尽管导演和制作公司一再强调在《绝命终结站2》中将会加入更多令观众意外的惊险桥段,但却也都没有否认第二集的确是在剧情上照抄原作。考虑到第一集的展开余地应该很大,制片公司的保守做法就不能不令影迷们失望了。但换成制作公司的角度看,这样的做法也的确可以理解:毕竟已经有了第一集成功的明证,又有哪一家公司真能勇于放开趁手的摇钱树,胆敢冒险尝试那些无法确定结果的所谓创意呢!

◆ 评论 ◆

《绝命终结站》系列属于典型的“阎王要人三更死,谁敢留过五更天”式恐怖片。而该系列超越以往的同类影片之处,便在于其独到的剧本世界观设计——奇妙的宿命论解读。在《绝命终结站2》的剧情设计下,具有预见能力的主人公一度使观众对其所具有的超能力充满信心和希望,但同时影片又会在相反的一面营造出近乎绝对的宿命气氛,让人深信命中注定的死亡必定会降临。

更吸引人的是,影片在影射人与宿命搏斗的过程中,尽管没有将假想中的死神庸俗的实体化,但却又从侧面将之塑造成一位充满愤怒性格的幕后冷血连环杀手的阴谋家形象。这种神话降格使得影片中被超能力升格的主人公和假想敌——“死亡”之间的抗争行为活化。以至于影片几乎不需要对血腥镜头进行过多的夸张描写,就已经能深深抓住人们对未知死亡世界的畏惧,令观众对死神的无限制追杀产生念念不忘的恐怖情绪。

Plot

Death lurks, and two teenage girls try to figure out where he's heading, in this sequel to the unexpected teen horror hit Final Destination. As Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the only surviving passenger of the ill-fated Flight 180, waits in a mental institution, certain Death will claim her, Kim (A.J. Cook), who has begun to display precognitive powers, is driving along the highway when she sees a terrible accident in which several cars crash into a logging truck. Moments later, the horrible vision is gone, but Kim is certain she saw an accident that was supposed to happen but didn't...and now Death will track down the souls he meant to take that day who slipped through his fingers. A police officer, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), believes there's a germ of truth in Kim's story, and teams her up with Clear in hopes that together they can help prevent Death from snuffing out any more of the people involves in the accident that wasn't. Tony Todd also returns from the first film as Mr. Bludworth. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Review

With mixed reviews and a domestic gross just north of 50 million dollars, Final Destination was an unlikely candidate to spawn a sequel, despite its slick (and wickedly morbid) execution of a smart concept. But Final Destination 2 justifies all risks taken to give it a theatrical release, as a mostly new cast and crew reproduce the original formula in a manner that may actually be more self-assured and satisfying. It's certainly funnier, though most of the laughter comes in the form of head-shaking howls at the gruesome and gory abruptness of the deaths. J. Mackye Gruber's script understands how to set up these punchlines through seat-squirming red herrings -- the audience can't bear to watch a dentist aim his hypodermic needle at an impending victim's gums -- so even when viewers telegraph the twists that are meant to defy their expectations, it's still cathartic. The adroit staging of these scenes, veritable montages of fatal coincidence, makes it easier to forgive director David R. Ellis for overusing them to the point of redundancy. The film even constructs a somewhat intelligible plan to flout Death's design that links to the first film, though viewers should be prepared to make concessions in the logic department. Final Destination 2 reiterates the best strength of its surprisingly fertile franchise: a liberating format that doesn't rely on serial killers pouncing from the shadows, instead indulging in a genuinely inventive and comic view of predestined doom. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide
