Final Destination Bloodlines' digital release date has been confirmed by co-director Adam Stein after an inaccurate listing. Directed by Stein and Zach Lipovsky, the sixth film in the horror franchise follows a college student who, after her grandmother's death, begins experiencing visions tied to a premonition that once prevented a fatal structural collapse in 1968, only to discover that Death is now targeting her family. Final Destination Bloodlines' cast includes Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and Tony Todd.

Now, just five days after releasing in theaters, the movie's digital release date has been revealed. On X, formerly Twitter, Adam Stein responded to an inaccurate listing, revealing that Final Destination Bloodlines' digital release date is June 17. The inaccurate listing claimed the home release was in just two weeks on June 4. Check out his post below:

Hi Gitesh — the home release date isn’t accurate.

Producer Craig Perry has been guiding the Final Destination franchise every step of the way since the beginning – and with the sixth film in the series, Final Destination: Bloodlines, now in theatres, the folks at Entertainment Weekly decided to sit down for a conversation with Perry in which he looks back at all of the disasters and death scenes in the first five movies You can watch the 40 minute death retrospective in the video embedded above.

Final Destination: Bloodlines has the following synopsis: Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all. It has been rated R for strong violent / grisly accidents, and language.

Tony Todd reprised the role of mortician William Bludworth from Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5,...

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Final Destination: Bloodlines.

Final Destination feels like an anomaly. Debuting in 2000, James Wong’s brutal shocker serves as a bridge between the teen slashers of the late ’90s and the gritty torture porn films that would dominate the genre in years to come. Spiraling into four inventive sequels, the franchise explores abject horror with increasingly gruesome variations on a well-loved and surprisingly simple formula. A young man or woman has a vision of imminent disaster and saves a handful of people meant to perish in the carnage, but once the dust of mass casualty settles, the survivors begin to die in unthinkable ways. It seems Death itself is targeting them, intent on cleaning up the loose ends of its master plan.

After lying dormant for fourteen years, directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein bring Death roaring back to the big screen with...

Last year, Final Destination 6, which ended up going by the title Final Destination: Bloodlines, finally, after years of development and a long gap between sequels, made its way through production. Now, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Final Destination, the new sequel has made its way into theatres – and it had a very successful opening weekend, proving that audiences are still eager to see more from this franchise. We’ve previously shared interviews with the film’s directors and cast and today we have a new batch of interviews to share, as JoBlo’s own Ryan Cultrera was able to attend the red carpet premiere of the film in Los Angeles, where he talked with cast members Anna Lore, Richard Harmon, Rya Kihlstedt, and Alex Zahara, as well as franchise producer Craig Perry, original Final Destination writer Jeffrey Reddick, and editor Sabrina Pitre. Topics covered the filming of the movie,...

"I intend to enjoy the time I have left, and I suggest you do the same. Life is precious, enjoy every single second. You never know when... good luck."

Horror legend Tony Todd sadly passed away last November after a long illness, and Final Destination: Bloodlines features the actor's final performance.

Todd makes a brief cameo as the returning Mr. Bludwurth when the beleaguered protagonists pay him a visit in an attempt to figure out how to get themselves off Death's hit list. After giving them a couple of not particularly appealing options, Bludwurth takes his leave, with some parting words for the doomed family members, and his fans.

Co-director Adam Stein has now revealed that Todd's unscripted final words also served as a farewell to the audience.

"Throughout prepping the movie, we knew Tony was sick, and there were times when we weren’t sure if he would...

Death is back, and audiences are lining up to see its latest masterpiece of mayhem. Well, folks, it looks like moviegoers just can’t get enough of watching characters meet their demise in spectacularly gruesome ways.

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema’s Final Destination Bloodlines has absolutely crushed box office expectations this weekend! Not only did the sixth installment in this long-running horror franchise blow past industry projections, but it also managed to establish itself as the highest-grossing opener in the series’ entire 25-year history.

And get this – it accomplished all this after a 14-year absence from theaters. If there was ever any doubt about whether audiences still had an appetite for Death’s elaborate designs, this opening weekend certainly put those questions to rest.

Let’s talk numbers for a second, because they’re seriously impressive.

Final Destination is back with another film, which is already a hit among the critics. Considered the best film in the franchise, Final Destination Bloodlines is directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky. The directors appeared for an interview and shared that the show took elements of inspiration from one of the most unlikely places.

The directors previously worked on the Disney film, Kim Possible, which was very different from their current gory thriller. Lipovsky also revealed that he worked as a child artist in the Disney Channel original movies. He shared that they brought the same Disney energy into this R-rated film.

The sixth entry in the Final Destination had a big task as it came 14 long years after the previous film. Bloodlines...

Final Destination: Bloodlines has earned the best reviews in the franchise’s history—along with a record-breaking box office debut. Despite this recent high point, the series has seen its share of ups and downs over the past three decades. When it comes to picking the worst installment, producer Craig Perry doesn’t hesitate to call out The Final Destination.

In an excerpt from Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie by Clark Collis (via Entertainment Weekly), Perry revealed that he originally believed The Final Destination would mark the end of the series. Ironically, it became the highest-grossing installment at the time—a title Bloodlines is poised to surpass—and ultimately paved the way for yet another sequel.

“I figured that we’re done,” Perry said. “Then, lo and behold, opening weekend, we’re like, ‘Uh, okay, here we go.’ I don’t...

The future might not look bright for the characters of the Final Destination franchise but it certainly does for the future of the horror films overall.

Not only is Final Destination Bloodlines a critically acclaimed film with a 93% approval rate and a Certified Fresh seal of approval on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film also broke box office records for the franchise, grossing $51 million during its opening weekend in the US, and $102 million globally (via The Hollywood Reporter).

The sixth film in the Final Destination series had a higher opening weekend than any previous Final Destination and its opening weekend sales outperformed expectations. For comparison, the 2011 film Final Destination 5 only opened to $18 million.

With the success of this film, Warner Bros. has achieved yet another horror win alongside the ongoing success of Sinners, the original vampire horror movie from director and writer Ryan Coogler. And that's in addition to Companion,...

Warner Bros. continues to dominate the box office. Its latest film, New Line/Warner Bros.' Final Destination Bloodlines, took the top box office spot with an estimated $51 million domestically, per Deadline. The film, directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, exceeded expectations in the U.S. as it was previously predicted to earn between $35 million and $40 million in its three-day opening weekend.

Bloodlines is shattering records as it has had the biggest opening of any of the films in the Final Destination franchise and has the distinction of being the biggest opening for an R-rated horror movie this decade, per Discussing Film. Bloodlines has already earned $102 million globally, with an even split coming from overseas and U.S. box office tallies. The horror film surpassed Sinners'opening weekend total. The Ryan Coogler film, starring Michael B. Jordan, earned $48 million in its opening weekend.

Bloodlines Could Quickly Outpace the Original Final Destination

With its $102 million,...

Final Destination: Bloodlines is doing big numbers at the box office.

The sixth film in the horror movie franchise just beat the franchise’s record and surpassed expectations, opening at $51 million at the domestic box office as of Sunday (May 18), THR reports.

Overseas, it’s estimated to bring in another $51 million for a global start of $102 million.

The movie stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana as a young woman who discovers that her grandmother was able to cheat death and save numerous lives, albeit with frightening consequences.

Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, with Brec Bassinger, and Tony Todd also star.

The last installment, Final Destination 5, was released in 2011 and opened to $18 million, not adjusted for inflation.

The first movie was released in 2000. In the film, after getting a premonition about a plane crash on his school trip, Alex, a student, saves a few of his classmates.

In a third consecutive win, Warner Bros. is doing scary great business at the box office thanks to New Line’s critically acclaimed Final Destination Bloodlines.

The supernatural horror-thriller pic topped the weekend with a franchise-best domestic opening of $51.7 million, ahead of expectations. Overseas, it earned $54.1 million for a global start of $105.8 million, up from Sunday’s estimate of $101.2 million, thanks to a strong Sunday. Either number was more than enough to successfully revive a long-dormant franchise that was first introduced to audiences a quarter of a century ago. The last installment, Final Destination 5, was released in 2011 and opened to $18 million, not adjusted for inflation. (On Saturday, the pic was only expected to do $46 million to $47 million.)

Final Destination Bloodlines Now Tracking Above $50 Million, Even Higher Than Expected

This article was originally written Saturday Am and has been updated Sunday Am with up-to-date box office projections (in bold), a full chart, and further analysis.

Final Destination Bloodlines is set for a stupendous opening weekend. The new horror movie is the sixth installment in the Final Destination franchise, which follows Death itself tracking down victims who have previously escaped its clutches by murdering them in outlandish and violent ways. The movie, which follows a family being targeted by Death and stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and Tony Todd, has earned the best Rotten Tomatoes score in the entire franchise, with its Certified Fresh 92% score far exceeding the previous high, which was the 63% earned by 2011's Final Destination 5.

Per Variety, as of Sunday morning, Final Destination Bloodlines is...

Update Very Early Sunday Am: Don’t be shocked in a few hours if Warner Bros calls Final Destination Bloodlines at $50M, but the last we checked, $49M+ is safe after a robust estimated $17.3M Saturday, just 18% off from Friday’s number/previews of $21M.

Interesting to note that the last two Final Destination movies have had a history of holding from their Friday to Saturday, 2009’s previous opening record holder, The Final Destination dipped 6%, while 2011’s Final Destination 5 inched down by 15%.

Everyone has been marveling over Warner Bros’ stunts for the latest horror chapter, in particular those iconic log trucks.

RelishMix reports that the social media universe for Bloodlines is 353.3M across TikTok, YouTube, X, Instagram and Facebook, which is 75% ahead of horror franchise norms. Star Brec Bassinger spoke to her nearly 2M activated fans.

The latest Final Destinationmovie, Final Destination Bloodlines, is giving another horror film, a run for its money at the box office. Per Deadline, Bloodlines, in its opening weekend,is on track to earn $45 million, just shy of the $48 million that Ryan Coogler’s vampire horror film, Sinners, made in its debut weekend.

Bloodlines, via Warner Bros., has already broken a record for the highest-grossing opening day for any film in the Final Destination franchise, earning $21 million on its first day in theaters. There’s a slight chance that Bloodlines could earn as much as $50 million this weekend, but that remains to be seen.

Warner Bros. Sinners, in its fifth weekend in theaters, is on its way to adding another $15 million this weekend after tallying $4.4 million on Friday. Sinners, thus far, has earned just shy of $300 million worldwide, with $225.3 million coming from domestic box office totals, per Box Office Mojo.

Final...

Although the Final Destination franchise is admittedly very popular, it has always struggled with the critics. In fact, the franchise seemed to have ended 14 years ago, just as a new wave of director-driven horror movies — these were categorized as "elevated horror" — began to leave an impression in the minds of audiences and critics. Art-house horror, for the first time ever, became mainstream. But Final Destination Bloodlines is flipping the narrative in its debut; not only is the movie expected to overperform at the box office, it has delivered the best reviews in the franchise's quarter-century history.

Bloodlines holds a "certified fresh" 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, in addition to a "verified hot" 90% audience score on the website. These impressive Rt scores were supplemented by a B+ CinemaScore grade, which is extraordinarily high for a horror movie of this kind. By comparison, the recent blockbuster Sinners earned an A- grade on the...

Whether it’s taking a flight, getting a tan or driving behind a log truck, Final Destination has had a chokehold on horror fans for 25 years.

Craig Perry, who’s been a producer on the franchise since it launched in 2000, recently told Deadline about the long journey to making Final Destination Bloodlines, now in theaters, explaining that he “can’t walk in a room without” fearing death after a quarter of a century making the horror films.

“Yeah, that happens to me every day. … I’m trained,” said Perry. “It’s terrible. Look, that’s one of the fun things about working on these movies, is to sort of start cataloging those things that, like you experienced there, that might wind up in a movie someday because everybody’s had that moment.”

Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, Bloodlines begins with a mass-casualty event, as with the rest of the franchise,...

Spoilers follow.

The "Final Destination" franchise has lain dormant for 14 years, waiting for the perfect moment to strike fear into a whole new generation. I admittedly had my reservations about "Bloodlines" simply because "Final Destination 5" is both the best entry and the thematic lynchpin of the entire series. Most horror franchises would kill to have an ending this tight, so the thought of resurrecting it for another go-around worried me initially. Rest assured, however, that "Bloodlines" is a more than worthy successor that takes the series in an exciting new direction, while still offering up a buffet of gruesomely gory deaths that's best experienced with a crowd. /Film's Bj Colangelo wrote in her review that the sixth entry is a franchise best and I'm very much on the same page.

"Bloodlines" kicks off its carnival of carnage with a tremendous opening premonition sequence set in the '60s atop a Skyview restaurant.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Final Destination Bloodlines.Exclusive: Final Destination Bloodlines directors address the Skyview survivor theory, which links Death's victims in the previous films to being the descendants of the Skyview survivors. Following Stefanie's (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) attempt to save her family from Death's sinister plans, the sixth installment, which arrived in theaters on May 16, reveals a massive map of Death's past victims, consisting of countless Skyview survivors and their descendants, who were saved by Stefanie's grandmother, Iris (Brec Bassinger/Gabrielle Rose).

In an interview with Screen Rant, directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky share their thoughts on the Skyview survivor theory. While Stein admits that they have "discussed and debated a lot" about the idea, they actually "didn't go quite that far" because one of the rules in the sixth installment established that the previous generation would be targeted first, which means including the theory would easily break canon.

Final Destination Bloodlines has finally landed in the theatres, and it is set to wreak havoc at the box office, judging by its strong numbers from the previews.

2025 has been one of the weaker years for the film industry as high-budget films like Captain America: Brave New World and Snow White have failed at both impressing the audience and at the box office.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a supernatural horror film co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein from a screenplay co-written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor.

It's hard to believe that it's been 14 years since the last Final Destination film was released in theaters (and the franchise feels more popular now than ever before—just try looking at a log truck on the road and not thinking about that killer opening in Final Destination 2), but the latest installment is well worth the wait. Paying homage to the franchise's past installments while carving its own gory trail in the creatively macabre image of Death's design, Final Destinations Bloodlines is the perfect balance of blood-soaked horror, gallows humor, and heart-wrenching moments, especially because this latest film follows an entire family who have cheated Death by their very existence, and who find themselves in the shadow of the Grim Reaper's scythe now that Death has finally caught up to them decades later...

If you’ve ever nervously eyed a ceiling fan, tanning bed, or log truck with a deep-seated unease, rest assured: Death hasn’t lost your number.

This article contains spoilers for the "Final Destination" franchise, including "Bloodlines."

One of the highlights of 2000's "Final Destination" is how Glen Morgan and James Wong reconfigured Jeffrey Reddick's premise about a boy helping himself and others escape their fate after having a premonition of a deadly airplane accident into a slasher film where the killer is literally Death. Not only did this mean that Death was never personified or ever really seen in the movie, but it also allowed for Morgan and Wong (the latter also being the director) to present each kill scene as a series of escalating mishaps and accidents, essentially turning each setpiece into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine of mayhem. When "Final Destination 2" was made just a few years later, the filmmakers could've simply written a sequel that repeated the premise of the first film, and ostensibly, they did. It's a formula that would work,...

The horror franchise with the creative kills is back to splatter blood on the big screen. The new entry, Final Destination: Bloodlines, was long in development after the fifth installment. Franchise producer Craig Perry previously let it be known that the film was aiming for a theatrical release in 2025, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. Tony Todd makes his last appearance in this film before his passing and is joined in the cast by Brec Bassinger, Richard Harmon, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones, Andrew Tinpo Lee, April Amber Telek, and Alex Zahara.

There’s always one last destination, and this time around, audiences are being taken all the way back to the very beginning where Death first made its mark.

After Warner Bros. carved out a successful theater takeover with “Minecraft” and sank its teeth even deeper with “Sinners,” the studio is coming for more blood with the release of the newest chapter of “Final Destination: Bloodlines.”

Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein directed the film, and Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor penned the screenplay. The story is by Jon Watts, Busick and Evans Taylor.

A scene from ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’

For 25 years and through five movies, the Final Destination franchise has been making people afraid to drive behind logging trucks and relax in tanning beds. It’s made me personally think twice about laser eye surgery, that’s for sure. And the hits keep coming, all the way up to and including the newest installment, Final Destination Bloodlines.

Final Destination Bloodlines is about a young woman named Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana from The Friendship Game) who is plagued by a recurring nightmare about the collapse of a high-rise restaurant that kills hundreds of people. After a little investigation, Stefani discovers that her dream is actually a premonition that was had by her grandmother, Iris (Stargirl’s Brec Bassinger), that helped Iris save those hundreds of lives.

Final Destination fans see where this is going.

All of the lives saved by Iris wound up “cheating death,...

Final Destination Bloodlines Movie Review(Photo Credit –YouTube)

What’s Good: The kill sequences are just as amazing as ever, and the opening must be one of the best in the series.

What’s Bad: Most characters are empty shells waiting to be killed, but that is expected for a film with characters in line only to get killed.

Loo Break: The film is lean and mean, so there aren’t many spaces to take a break.

Watch or Not?: If you loved past installments, then this is a must-watch, and if you are a newcomer, then it is still pretty cool.

Chicago – As the first “Final Destination” movie in 14 years, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” knows what audiences came to see. It’s the sort of legacy sequel that is clearly preaching to the choir, where a wind chime and the familiar score sets the audience up for a CGI splatter fest … plotting and character development aren’t its strong suits.

The film begins with the customary early premonition. It’s the late 1960’s and a boyfriend and girlfriend are heading to the opening of a Space Needle-type skyview restaurant, which is proclaimed to be an engineering marvel that’s opened ahead of schedule. Like clockwork though it all falls to pieces on that Opening Night.

The real protagonist is college student Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) who has been troubled by a nightmare about a grandmother she’s never met, who was at that skyview tower she’s been haunted by. So she...

Plenty of legacy sequels have attempted to bring back past franchises with a more modern sensibility, but only a few have had more than one “second chance,” and it’s pretty fitting that Final Destination is one of those series that keeps cheating death. Final Destination Bloodlines, the second revival of the 2000s horror franchise, is a glorious return to form, offering plenty of laughs and a ton of twisted mayhem — precisely what audiences want from these films.

Final Destination Bloodlines Review

With a story by Jon Watts (the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy), Guy Busick (the new Scream movies), and Lori Evans Taylor, Final Destination Bloodlines offers an interesting twist on the familiar formula — after a group of people “cheated Death” by surviving a would-be tragic accident when someone has a premonition, they find themselves dying in increasingly peculiar ways. But this time, it’s not just the survivors that...

It has been 14 years since Final Destination 5 hit the big screen, and it looks like horror fans still can't get enough of the 25-year-old franchise that turned everyday life occurrences into some of the best horror movie kills on screen. Final Destination Bloodlines serves as the latest entry in the popular horror IP, and if early box office predictions are any indication, this won't be the last tango that moviegoers have with death anytime soon.

Per Deadline, Final Destination Bloodlines could gross between $35-40 million during its opening weekend. Anything in that range would be a franchise-best and a clear indication that Final Destination remains one of the horror genre's most enduring IPs. The previous franchise-best opening belongs to 2009's The Final Destination, which debuted to $27.4 million with a little assist from its 3D hook. That film ultimately grossed $66.4 million domestically and $186.1 million worldwide on a $40 million budget. According...

The sixth instalment in the Final Destination franchise is set to hit theaters this weekend, and the review embargo has now lifted.

Despite being popular with horror fans who looked forward to seeing what kind of twistedly inventive scenarios Death would come up with to dispatch those who managed to cheat the Reaper, the Final Destination movies were never what you'd call critical darlings. Even the 2000 original - which is generally regarded as the best - only has a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.

With this in mind, it's definitely a surprise to see such a positive response to Final Destination Bloodlines. With 59 reviews counted, the movie is currently sitting at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Adding some surprising emotional layers onto the ghoulish bones of Final Destination's mythology, Bloodlines ingeniously executes grisly set pieces with precision and turns impending doom into outrageous fun."

The sixth instalment in the Final Destination film series, ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’, will be released in theatres on 16th May 2025. Ahead of the supernatural horror film’s theatrical release, the sequel has already received a critics’ score on the popular reviews aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.

Final Destination Bloodlines – Rotten Tomatoes Score

Let us tell you that Final Destination Bloodlines has sprung a surprise and received a brilliant critics’ score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 55 reviews so far, a rare feat for a horror film. It has also secured a user rating of 7.1/10 on IMDb. But how has the film fared compared to its predecessors on Rotten Tomatoes? Let’s find out.

Final Destination Bloodlines Vs Other Final Destination Films

With a 93% Rt score, Final Destination Bloodlines has now become the highest-rated installment of the Final Destination film series, which consists of six films.

Exclusive:Motion Picture Exchange (Mpx) is on the Croisette talking up Grizzly Night, a survival thriller that filmed with actual bears and recreates one of the most harrowing nights in US National Park Service history. Screen has obtained the first look.

Burke Doeren directs the feature by Utah-based Four J Films, which chronicles events of August 12, 1967, at Glacier National Park, when two 19-year-old women were attacked by grizzlies in separate incidents and Ranger Joan Devereux was called to lead rescue efforts. The grim episode resulted in the first bear-related fatalities in park history.

Doeren hired a bear handling team, and used helicopters during production,...

The initial unpredictability of the order and the overall knowledge of how death picked up its targets made the first few entries of the “Final Destination” series as worthy as that of a well-crafted suspense thriller, which had a ticking time bomb set to go off at any moment. It creates a dual tension – of the possibilities of an immediate death and the lack of an explanation as to who, how, or why. It is a metaphysical puzzle. And to top that, the audiences are also given a God-like perspective as they get to see the death trap being laid, which the characters themselves are not aware of.

But after the logic and the design of death is put forth, the game pretty much shifts to the unimaginably horrifying circumstances that can lead to gruesome and crushing fatality in airplanes, theme parks, expressways, shopping malls, barbeque parties, and cinema halls.

The universe, it seems, possesses a rather grim accountant, one with an unyielding penchant for balancing the books on human existence, especially for those audacious enough to smudge an entry. This meticulous, if macabre, ledger-keeper makes a grand re-entry after what feels like an eon in the rapidly decaying memory of pop culture with Final Destination: Bloodlines.

This is the sixth chapter in a saga dedicated to the proposition that Death is not merely an event but an artist of baroque, Rube-Goldbergian catastrophe. This time, the unseen force’s attention narrows, with an almost aristocratic focus, from the randomly fortunate to a specific lineage, a family tree whose every branch is marked for an exceptionally creative pruning. One anticipates a familiar canvas of visceral terror, splashes of uncomfortable mirth, and fatality sequences of a truly… imaginative bent.

The film arrives not as a mere echo of its forebears but with aspirations to graft new,...

If the defining tone of the most successful “Final Destination” films can be boiled down to “unsettling, but silly,” Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein’s “Final Destination Bloodlines” maintains that balance as well as any installment before it.

Fourteen years after “Final Destination 5” supposedly brought the horror franchise full circle, Lipovsky and Stein skillfully expand its scope to accommodate an interconnected universe where Death steadily attempts to reclaim victims across multiple generations. While a canonically satisfying sendoff to the late Tony Todd’s William Bludworth bolsters the series’ morbid gravitas, a cast of playful, mostly likable 20-somethings keep proceedings light in juxtaposition to the filmmakers’ fiendishly inventive kills.

After awaking from recurrent visions in which her grandmother Iris dies during the opening of a 1960s Space Needle-type landmark, Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) leaves college to address the relentless insomnia that’s wrecking her stellar academic career. Stefani’s...

Last year, Final Destination 6 (which is going by the title Final Destination: Bloodlines) finally, after years of development and a long year gap between sequels, made its way through production. Franchise producer Craig Perry previously let it be known that the film was aiming for a theatrical release in 2025, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. It will even be on IMAX screens! It was recently confirmed that Final Destination: Bloodlines is set to reach theatres this Friday. The directing duo of Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who previously directed the 2018 film Freaks (starring Emile Hirsch and Bruce Dern) and the 2019 live-action Kim Possible movie, were at the helm of this film – and during an interview with SFX magazine, Lipovsky said their hope is that the movie will throw viewers for a loop and keep them guessing because things play out in unpredictable ways.

I love Final Destination. In fact, for me the films make up the best horror franchise ever made. This might be a controversial opinion, but with five films in the series and no bad ones among them, I would challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

This passion was why I was trepidatious to attend the press screening of the 6th instalment, titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, especially as it has emerged 14 years after the last film. With so many horror reboots, reimaginings and regurgitations failing to mimic, capture or sometimes even understand what made the originals so amazing, I quite rightly feared the same for my beloved horror series.

Thankfully though, Bloodlines is a brilliant addition to the Final Destination collection, which has shockingly been running since the 2000 original Final Destination set the template for terror 25 years ago. If you have never seen one of these movies the set up is...

Death begins a new cycle in Final Destination Bloodlines, the sixth entry of the film series that’s known for its elaborate Rube Goldberg machine-style deaths. The catch here is that Death may be more ambitious than ever, aiming to snuff out an entire family’s bloodline after its matriarch evaded its grasp decades prior.

That presents clear shifts in the Final Destination formula, including an emphasis on its family theme and a dedication to lighthearted fun over palpable, drawn-out suspense. Death’s daunting ambition is more impressive in scope than in execution, though.

Bloodlines kicks off with the requisite inciting catastrophe that sees one woman, Iris (Brec Bassinger), embarking on an exciting new chapter of her life at the opening of the Skyview Restaurant Tower. What should be the happiest day of her life instead turns into a brutal nightmare when a chain of events, beginning with a small,...

Aren’t horror franchises supposed to get worse with each entry? Nah. We’re in a golden window for later-stage prequels and sequels. Indies like V/H/S/Beyond (7th entry) to backtracks like The First Omen are healing the stigma of a Jason Goes to Hell or Texas Chainsaw 3D. Here to offer its axe as the latest example for an inspiring trend is Final Destination Bloodlines, bringing Final Destination back to prominence with a bloody entertaining sequel fourteen years later.

Freaks (and Kim Possible) directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein take a risk on their lore-spanning continuation of Death’s favorite franchise. The Final Destination movies have relied on the cyclical motions of inescapable fates as illustrated by gruesome, Rube Goldbergian death sequences. Bloodlines’ screenplay, written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, is still that, but in a way that addresses every film. A tome is introduced,...

Stars: Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Ted Briones, Richard Harmon, Brec Bassinger, Tony Todd, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Gabrielle Rose | Written by Guy Busick, Lori Evans Taylor | Directed by Zach Lipovsky, Adam B. Stein

Co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth film in the popular Death-moves-in-mysterious-ways horror franchise, following the fifth instalment, back in 2011. As such, the directing duo are clearly fans of the series, because they deliver everything audiences could conceivably want from a sixth (and probably not final) Final Destination movie, even managing to give the mythology a satisfying little tweak in the process.

The time-honoured opening sequence takes place in the 1950s, where young Iris (Stargirl’s Brec Bassinger) finds herself in a horrific disaster at the top of a newly opened high-rise restaurant. At the moment of her death, the film cuts to the present day, and it transpires that college...

You know how this is going to go. Someone has a premonition of a ghastly, freakish chain of events that results in mass casualty, a vision of such tactility that it feels realer than real — and then they come to, mere moments before the real thing begins. Yet, after saving several lives, the survivors begin to die anyway, one by one: also in ghastly fashion, also in freakish, Rube Goldberg machine-like sequences. Death doesn’t like it when you cheat.

It’s an ingenious recipe James Wong introduced with co-writers Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick in 2000, and with each subsequent sequel, there hasn’t been a ton of variation on the theme. Just more and more inventive ways to kill off a character. Final Destination Bloodlines offers everything fans of the franchise have come to expect: a bawdy mix of slapstick humor and gruesome, kinetically charged deaths. But directors Zach Lipovsky...

Most horror franchises enjoy longevity because they stick to a familiar formula: an unstoppable villain, a perennially haunted setting, or a sharp-tongued survivor for the audience to root for. But then, there's the "Final Destination" series, the rowdy cousin of the iconic maniacs we know and love who shows up without a mask, without a monster, and delivers a higher body count than any of our stalking slashers. The "Final Destination" movies don't need to rely on an easily marketable character that stays relevant through remakes, reimaginings, and hot sales on costumes at Spirit Halloween every spooky season, because its big bad is, well, Death. The fear of "Final Destination" is not rooted in a singular baddie to overcome, but the invisible, inevitable — and apparently obsessed with butchering ala Rube-Goldberg machines — entity that comes for us all — Death.

I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as a bad "Final Destination" film,...

As legacy horror franchises attempt to worm their way back into the public imagination with largely unsatisfying reboot-sequel hybrids, bringing characters old and new together, alarm bells should have been ringing at the prospect of a new Final Destination. With the exception of the second movie, where Ali Larter’s protagonist returned to co-lead and gave a crash course on how to cheat death, continuity has been restricted to Tony Todd cameos, the franchise’s overarching premise so easily adaptable that it didn’t exactly need to exist in a shared universe. Of course it did––the twist ending to the fifth installment, which revealed we’d been watching a stealth prequel to the first all along, was the biggest reminder––but more so than any other slasher, here was a long-running series where any entry could successfully function as its own standalone beast. The idea of transforming the series...

The high-rise restaurant disaster that kicks off “Final Destination Bloodlines” has a “Looney Tunes” quality to it that some critics will falsely pin on a single falling piano. Yes, there is a thousand-pound string instrument that comes crashing down several stories before flattening a bratty kid in a bow tie. But that’s just the cherry on top of a perfectly cartoonish opening to the best film this fiendish horror franchise from the 2000s has ever known. Delivering the most visually impressive, emotionally compelling, and quick witted “Final Destination” to date, co-directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein work wonders with a reboot that shouldn’t land nearly as well as it does.

Twenty-five years since Flight 180 failed to reach Paris, New Line’s freak accident series — infamous for its mass-casualty events and Rube Goldberg-inspired kill sequences — returns with an unconventional script written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans. Here,...
