Aren't we there yet? How much longer is this horrid journey going take?

Hollywood's favourite theme, the slaughter of pretty teens, receives another (presumably lucrative) outing.

Earnest Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto) has a premonition that the bridge his school bus is driving on will collapse, killing everyone. So, he jumps off and seven others leap off and escape death with him. Problem being that Death doesn't like being cheated.

That scary dude (Tony Todd) from Candyman handily points this out to them, too. Cue a series of increasingly grisly deaths. A very slick and somewhat depressing dollop of horror.
