Dennis Lapman is a character in the film Final Destination 5. He is a manager at Presage Paper and a survivor of the North Bay Bridge collapse.
Biography
Dennis lives in New York City and works as the manager of the local sales division at Presage Paper's local office. However, he doesn't seem to care much for his employees.
Final Destination 5
Dennis, giving his speech at the memorial.
Dennis is on his way to a corporate retreat with his employees when Sam Lawton has a premonition that the bridge they're crossing will collapse, killing everyone on it. When Sam panics, Dennis leaves the bus to go check on him and sees the bridge collapse moments later, just as Sam predicted. After the accident, Dennis delivers a farewell speech at the memorial service for the victims.
Afterwards, as Dennis had to deal with corporate headquarters shutting down the sales and administrative division in the wake of most of the employees of said division dying in the bridge collapse, he kept in contact with FBI Agent Jim Block to monitor any strange behavior from his employees. Peter Friedkin later tries to warn Dennis that Death is still after them, but Dennis doesn't take this seriously. Dennis informs Block about the behavior of Peter, which causes Jim to watch him later.
Dennis is the fourth survivor of the North Bay Bridge to die.
Death
A wrench is forced into Dennis' head, killing him.
When Nathan Sears accidentally kills Roy Carson in a warehouse accident, Peter, Sam, and Molly Harper arrive to see what happened. After Peter suggests that Nathan must have taken Roy's lifespan, Sam tries to figure out who is next on Death's list. Just as Dennis arrives to question Nathan about the incident, the vibrations from a machine cause a wrench to fall into a rapidly spinning belt sander, and it is hurled at Dennis' face, killing him instantly.
Final Destination 5 - Dennis's Death (1080p)
Signs/Clues
- Dennis says that it's usually the factory workers who get laid off. He died in the factory.
- Also, he tries to solve/fix several issues by contacting Jim. He dies by the wrench that is meant to fix things.
- Sam says that Dennis could be the next person to die, this was after Nathan was skipped, so, it was Dennis' turn.
- The wrench flew very close to Nathan's head; any closer and it would have killed Nathan. The fact that it killed Dennis instead lends credence to the theory about the nature of being skipped on Death's list.
- There are two clues of some objects that angle across Dennis' eyes and forehead, where the wrench penetrates his head later on:
- After Sam's premonition, a truck passes Dennis, and the frame it is holding angles across his eyes and forehead.
- During the memorial, the monument behind him is lined up with his eyes.
