James Wong, who directed the first film in the horror franchise, returned for this sequel. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Wendy Christensen, who has a premonition that the roller coaster she and her school friends are on is going to crash. Sure enough, after they get off, there is a spectacular, satisfyingly gory crash. But once again, Death will not be cheated of his due and, as the survivors succumb one by one in suitably ingenious ways, Wendy and her friend Kevin Fischer try to work out who is next and how they'll escape.
