  • The effect of the tire killing Nadia after the disaster looks very fake. And then we cut to the body, which looks incredibly realistic and nothing like the poor CGI shown in the raceway premonition.
  • Samantha's sons watched as their mother had a rock launched into her face. Which killed her like a stray bullet.
  • Cheesy or not, Hunt's death was absolutely horrific and maybe one of the worst in the series. Not only is he underwater for a long time and possibly drowning, but at the same time he's violently disemboweled as his colon, stomach, spleen, intestines and pelvic bone are all ripped right out of his ass from the powerful suction of a pool drain. Sure, he was a dickhead who cheated on his girlfriend, but it's still a slow and excruciating way to go out.
    • Even worse, while they didn't end in the g-tract being sucked out, fatal accidents like this have actually happened in real life.
    • One of the more horrifying elements of Hunt's death is that it's a slow death that happens in a crowded, public place and no one notices until it's too late to stop it due to it happening at the bottom of the pool. Most of the slower deaths in the series happen in isolated areas, but in Hunt's final moments there are dozens of people who were just out of reach. Even Nick, who knew that Hunt was in immediate danger and was actively searching for him, can't find him before his guts explode out of the pool pump.
    • Hunt's death in an alternate scene is even worse - he manages to snatch a plastic bag and starts breathing into it, as if to buy more time for himself to escape. But then the golf cart rams into the wooden fence and causes the pressure level to skyrocket right to the red. As result, after Hunt is held underwater for some more due to the suction force increased to the max, we hear a Sickening "Crunch!" as the poor guy just goes limp, floating in the water lifelessly. Then blood starts pouring into the pool from the side holes, causing the partygoers (and Nick himself) to realize what happened.
  • The escalator death in the second premonition. Cheesy? Maybe. But lately, it's slowly becoming a Truth in Television that escalator accidents like that can happen in any normal situation.
  • As cheesy as the movie can be, it does present a disturbing revelation. You know all the premonitions Nick was having? Death was the one granting them. Why? It's all part of the plan.
  • The fact that Death had to orchestrate another entire massacre, all for the sake of killing two birds with one stone; namely, Lori and Janet. Death does not fuck around, and one could possibly even speculate that Death enjoys making people suffer before letting them die.
  • There is a good reason why the deaths of Nick, Lori and Janet were rendered in the style of X-Ray vision (just like the opening credits): when the truck plows into the cafe they were in, Janet ends up crushed under one of its wheels, Lori gets straight up decapitated and Nick hits the wall so hard he breaks his neck and then falls down to the ground while puking blood, shattering several of his teeth in process.
