'Manifest': Jeff Rake's show has some striking similarities to 'Final Destination'
Who would have thought that after 18 years, Death would return to those who had cheated him, only this time as an eerie shadow? While there are speculations that NBC's 'Manifest' is like a descendant of ABC's 2004 series, 'Lost', there is also one other movie which seems to have lent some of its elements to creator Jeff Rake's show.
'Manifest' follows the story of a group of individuals who return from an unusual flight ride. What seemed like a few hours of turbulence to the passengers, the flight crew, and the pilots, was actually a span of almost five years. When Montego Air Flight 828 returns safely after facing few hours of turbulence in the air, the passengers are told that they were all assumed dead for almost five years. While no one has a clue about what actually happened, the survivors realize none of them have returned the same. They begin to hear voices, but most of all there is an impending shadow which seems to have stuck itself to them.
