Why are sequels made?
If a film performed well in the box office then it gives the producer a chance to make a sequel which will earn them more money. If the first film was very successful then the audience are more likely to watch the second one because they knew it would be similar to the first one. My opinion on sequels are that most of the time the second film is not as good as the first one because they feel like a repetition of the first film made. On the other hand some sequels are just as good or better than the first one because they answer unanswered questions that were left in the first one and the story becomes more clear.
The Final Destination are very successful because it was the first film like it, and the concept was new to the audience. Final Destination is a film about a group of characters that have been involved in a tragic event that other people have died in, but they have all survived and death is taking them one by one. This film plays on people fears of death because many people are afraid of it, and the film is based all around death. Each of the films of Final Destination follow the main story line of cheating death, but death catching them out. The first film appealed to the audience because it was the first film like it and it was quite unusual. The second film was still successful because it used a different tragic events, but after the second film I think they should have stopped because it became a little repetitive because although the films used different events the main story line was the same. The producers went on and made 4 film in total, but they newly released films used special effects well and created a film appealing to the eye.
