Before a group of teenagers graduation ceremony, they go to a carnival for some fun.
One of them named Wendy Christiansen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) falls asleep while she about to go on a ride in a roller coaster with her planned to be ex-boyfriend Ryan Merrimen (Kevin Fischer) in her dream when they are on the joyride in the roller coaster, it goes off track causing her and all her friends to die a gory death. She then awakens and experiences the same goin ons like in her dream before the roller coaster takes off.
She goes through an emotional panic attack and gets off the ride with along with most of her friends. She tries to stop the roller coaster but it's too late and then the deadly accident occurs.

Later on she notices that one of her friends who passed away from the ride was taking pictures of everyone and each pic seems to have a message of their future death accident.
Both her and Ryan tries to warn her other friends but it seems that they can't cheat their death just like the people they read about 6 years ago while they tried to survive their deaths after the plane explosion they escaped from.

Suddenly there is only three people left, Wendy, Ryan and Wendy's sister Julie (Amanda Crew).
Will Wendy and Ryan be able to save Julie in time before her maker?

 

Ah yes, this story is almost the same as the first one but of course James Wong co-wrote this one like he did with the first one too.
Its definetly a roller coaster ride while watching this one.
The ending however, almost borrows heavily during the ending scene of the first A Nightmare On Elm Street sequel but both endings with these films are extremely effective and with this one it for sure leaves a door for a part 4.
I think the sequels for this flick will shine on for a long time as this is what keeps you in your seat wondering what's going to happen to these victims as it's a real brainteaser.

The acting is well done for a cast of young adults. Mary Elizabeth Winstead was terrific with her being emotionally scared after she experienced her nightmare in the roller coaster.
I found Texas Battle good with his role as the attitudish highschool weightlifter and jock Lewis Romero who tries to cheat his death but doesn't succeed.

Two girls are almost full nude while san tanning in a salon with their breasts fully exposed for a while grooving to their music on their headsets.
One of them has obvious implants which doesn't suit the actress.

Ooh yeah you got it and plenty of it.
A guy's head sliced off
Blood & brains splattered
Bodies cut in half
Decapitations and lots more.
This is probably the goriest one out of all the films.

James Wong is back in the saddle for this one and delivers plenty of jumps and shocks.
I don't want to give alot away on this but you will give him two thumbs up like in the first flick for sure but there is a very terrifying camera shots on a roller coaster that goes wrong for all you people that are scared of trying it and have a right to be after seeing this as Wong makes that moment so believeable.
He was also good coaching his actors making their characters with lots of energy throughout the film.

Shirley Walker is here for the thrid time. She is great with the sounds during the unexpected moments during the death scenes and throughout the suspense too.

We have an awesome songtrack by the Vogues with their hit "Turn Around, Look at Me".
