Final Destination: death or demon?

I'm not a fan of the Final Destination series by any stretch... however, instead of posting a complaint thread as I was planning to, I thought a discussion/debate would be a lot more enjoyable/interesting XD
One thing that goes through my mind whilst watching these movies: why the hell do random psychic dreams keep narrowly averting disaster, only for death to pick the survivors off again in implausible ways? Surely such things don't normally happen, that is to say, naturally happen more than once or twice in hundreds of years! More often than not I imagine people who avoid death due to premonitions simply go on to live happy lives later on (or else, we'd more than likely be hearing about a lot more such coincidences in the news)...
...which leads me to theorize that what happens in the Final Destination series is NOT indeed natural, that despite everything being blamed on death itself throughout the films and promotional materials, there is a different force at work in the films, one that can be detected more easily and with much stricter rules.
So what is it? I don't have a clue myself; maybe it IS death, but I think not. Who agrees, disagrees, or feels like tossing ideas back and forth?

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
