Usually, when a horror film breaks a record during production, it’s for something like the amount of fake blood used, but Final Destination: Bloodlines has set a surprising new benchmark—it features the oldest person ever to be set on fire on camera. I can’t say I saw that coming.

“We lit so many different people on fire, including breaking the world record for oldest person on fire with Yvette Ferguson, who did that full body burn in the silver dress,” Bloodlines co-director Zach Lipovsky told Entertainment Weekly. “That was the oldest person ever on fire, on camera.“

Ferguson, a retired stuntwoman and actress, was coaxed out of retirement at 71 to take on the role of Mrs. Fuller. The stunt team has even contacted Guinness World Records about her fiery feat, although they’re still waiting to hear back.

The scene in question occurs in the 1960s in...

Should you choose to book a date with death and see "Final Destination Bloodlines" when it arrives in theaters, be sure to take a moment to appreciate Yvette Ferguson, who quite literally lights up the screen in one of the most significant and dangerous sequences ever included in the "Final Destination" franchise. Sure, the iconic log truck pile-up might still stick with fans after all these years, and "Final Destination 5" might have one of the most compelling death sequences, but Ferguson's time to shine should stand out more than most, given that her contribution may have earned her a world record for being the oldest person ever to be fully set on fire for a film.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Zach Lipovsky revealed that during one scene involving multiple people being lit up, among them was 71-year-old Ferguson, a former stunt person who came out of retirement for the film.

A summer with strikes in the rearview and Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” poised to keep kicking ass at the box office and sticking in IMAX theaters? We’re here for it.

Starting this month, the summer movie season is upon us, with indies and blockbusters and some freshly burnished I.P. rolling out in theaters and on streamers. Plus, the Cannes Film Festival kicks off May 13, so we’re about to get some much-welcome vigor restored in the moviegoing conversation. But people vote with their dollars — and, these days, their Letterboxd accounts — not their mouths, after all.

So which summer movies are likely to hit big?

While IndieWire always roots for originals, there are, of course, some familiar properties coming back to theaters this summer to guarantee cash flow. This is Hollywood after all, where rinse-and-repeat is hopefully less rote with (we hope) invigorating updates on titles and characters we...

Final Destination: Bloodlines is finally hitting theaters this month and it turns out that the film's directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein went to extremes to ensure this movie stands out.

According to a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, they hired 71-year-old stunt performer Yvette Ferguson to act in the film's opening scene where she is set on fire, setting a world record for "the oldest person ever on fire, on camera." Imagine putting that on your resumé.

Considering its been almost 15 years since the last Final Destination was released in theaters, it's understandable why the filmmakers would want to go all out and push boundaries for this new movie.

Lipovsky told the outlet that they set many people on fire for this movie, but Ferguson did a "full body burn in the silver dress."

The scene in question happens during the film's opening, as teased in the promotional material.

It’s that time of the year when studios release their big Summer blockbusters, hoping to rake in the dough. But with large tentpole releases struggling, there seems to be a shift in the kinds of films we’re getting. Sure, we’re still getting our usual slew of Superhero fare, but the horror genre has never looked better. Horror has been such a proven commodity that it feels like we have more summer horror releases than ever before. And I can’t blame studios as horror has been a consistent moneymaker, usually for pretty cheap. So let’s parse through all the releases, and see which are worth a trip to the theater for. And a recent trailer may have dropped one off this list. Proving that not all trailers help build anticipation: some kill it completely.

Now let’s get into our 10 most anticipated horror movies of Summer...

Did a real tragedy inspire The Final Destination? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

What if skipping a flight could spark a billion-dollar horror franchise? That’s exactly what happened—sort of Final Destination, the now-iconic supernatural thriller, wasn’t just a twisted brainchild cooked up in Hollywood. It was inspired by a real-life story that still gives people goosebumps.

Jeffrey Reddick, the mastermind behind the franchise, looked back at how it all began during a promo chat for his movie Til Death Do Us Part (via Collider). While catching up with fans, Reddick dropped a fun little behind-the-scenes fact: Final Destination was born from an eerie article he read while flying home to Kentucky.

“I read an article about a woman who was on a flight… her mom told her not to take it because she had a bad feeling. She switched planes, and the one she was supposed to be on crashed,...

One of the best ways to scare viewers with horror films is to make them feel realistic. Nothing is scarier than something that could happen in reality. For example, the Final Destination film series shows various ways people can die during everyday activities. Clowns, sharks, anacondas, and more are also a bit nightmarish — thanks to the horror genre — and it seems like Hollywood is not running out of ideas anytime soon. Lionsgate and Pitch Perfect producer Paul Brooks are working on a rat horror flick, and what better place to have the movie set in than the Big Apple? New York City is known for many things, having a lot of rats being one of them. So, the killer rat infestation film will create a new meaning for "the city that never sleeps."

According to Variety, Lionsgate and Brooks have partnered on worldwide rights to Rats!, which is such asimple...

Tony Todd's last on-screen appearance in Final Destination: Bloodlines carries real-life weight, as the director reveals some insight about one of his scenes. Since its debut in 2000, Final Destination has built a legacy on its brutal death scenes, where death itself is the villain. The franchise follows the familiar formula of someone narrowly escaping death due to a sudden premonition, only for death to reclaim lives in elaborate, and gruesome, Rube Goldberg-style ways. Final Destination: Bloodlines seeks to revitalize the franchise fourteen years after its latest installment, and delivers Todd's final role.

In a new interview with The Guardian, co-director Adam Stein revealed that Todd, who passed away in November 2024 shortly after filming his cameo, made a powerful impression with his last performance as William Bludworth. "Everyone knew he was ill," Stein shared, before describing how Todd's farewell came to be. Though brief, the co-director revealed that his...

Another month means another IP deluge. MCU. Karate Kid. Mission: Impossible. Final Destination. Even A Simple Favor. It just goes to show how many films get released every year that I can now pretty much ignore all the Hollywood Photoshop jobs and still be able to populate the below article without any trouble.

While they all worry about scheduling conflicts on the nation’s finite number of IMAX screens, we’re focusing on the bespoke poster art that seeks to catch those blockbuster patrons’ eyes and cajole them into a return visit for the road less-traveled.

Portraiture

A surefire way to stand apart: illustration. You can still be glossy and photo realistic, but a little character with a personal touch goes a long way.

That’s what Mocean delivers with The Surfer (May 2). It’s still just Nicolas Cage front and center, but the artistic style of his painted portrait...

Neon has set itself apart with a series of critically acclaimed horrors and the studio has a few more up its sleeve. One of them is the highly acclaimed body horror film Together.

The movie premiered earlier this year at Sundance and received a rare perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics. Together stars real-life married couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco, who play a couple who trigger a supernatural incident that changes their entire relationship, existence, and physical form. Ahead of the movie's release this summer, Neon just revealed an eerie sneak peek.

The poster shows a close-up of Brie and Franco so close they are eye to eye, their lashes intertwined. The studio further hyped the upcoming movie as "the best horror film of the year.

Twenty-five years after its first release, the horror franchise that made mundane life seem fraught with danger returns with a bloody but oddly moving fifth sequel

‘My inbox is filled with the most horrible ways people can die,” says Craig Perry, the producer – or, as he would prefer, “curator” – of the Final Destination franchise. Over 25 years, his films have punctured, skewered, crushed, flattened and decapitated men, women and children in a series of horrifying “accidents” and Perry has been a witness to them all. His friends clearly want him to witness many more.

But as we speak on video call, just a few weeks before the sixth instalment is released, he seems far from traumatised. Instead, he’s ebullient, buzzing infectiously about the many gory deaths he has overseen with the same enthusiasm other people might display when talking about their children. He has every right to be proud. To date,...

Last November, we heard the heartbreaking news that genre icon Tony Todd had passed away at the age of 69. Thankfully, we still have some Todd performances to look forward to, as he had worked on several projects that were in post-production when he passed, including Final Destination: Bloodlines, which will be reaching theatres on May 16th. Todd reprises the role of mortician Bludworth, a role he previously played in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5 – and the first reactions to the film that have made their way online say the film not only delivers the awesome, creative, bloody deaths that you expect from one of these movies, but also stands as a beautiful tribute to Tony Todd. Several “first reaction” posts can be seen below.

We're still a couple of weeks away from the release of Final Destination Bloodlines on May 16, but an early screening of the film hosted by Fangoria has yielded some first reactions that are going to make fans of the horror franchise very happy. Featuring the late Tony Todd in one of his last roles, Bloodlines is the long-awaited sixth film in the series and tells the tale of a college student who experiences a recurring nightmare that foretells her family's demise, who then returns home to find the person who can prevent it.

With a number of critics taking to X to share their thoughts on Final Destination Bloodlines, it appears as if directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein have outdone themselves, and crafted what many are calling the best entry yet. "I've been waiting 14 years for a new Final Destination and Bloodlines was well worth the wait," said Bj Colangelo from Slashfilm,...

What makes a horror franchise legendary? Is it the blood, the number of people who died, or the brilliant way in which it taps into our most primal fear of death? Final Destination: Bloodlines is the latest addition to a franchise that has earned a unique spot in the slasher genre.

It doesn’t have masked killers or supernatural creatures, but naturally occurring deaths that make you think twice before doing anything. With the creative death sequences, the franchise became a staple in pop culture, and now that it has returned after 14 years, how exactly are people reacting to it? Let’s find out!

"It follows you everywhere... it's already here." Quiver Distribution has revealed an official trailer for The Other, an indie horror film from filmmaker Paul Etheredge - known for his cult classic indie horror flick Hellbent from 2004. He's back with a new film after 20 years offering something new and scary. Unable to conceive, a couple seeks to build a family with a young mute orphan named Kathelia (played by newcomer Avangeline Friedlander), who is a survivor of tragic childhood. But their act of love turns to horror when they realize the violence in their foster's past has returned to destroy the new family. As an evil force takes hold, they must fight for their family—and their survival. The film stars Olivia Macklin, Dylan McTee, Lily D. Moore, and Shawnee Smith, along with Avangeline Friedlander.

Some homes are invaded from the inside. That’s what happens when a couple adopt a young girl and soon discover something evil has taken root in their house in the new trailer for The Other.

Quiver Distribution will bring The Other to Digital and On Demand platforms on June 13, 2025.

In the film, “After years of infertility, Robin and Daniel adopt Kathelia, a mute orphan with a dark past. But their dream turns to horror as eerie events unfold and Kathelia’s behavior grows unsettling. As an evil force takes hold, they must fight for their family—and their survival.”

Final Destination franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick produces The Other, which marks the return of Hellbent (2004) and Angel of Death (2009) writer-director Paul Etheredge.

The upcoming indie horror film is said to be “born from a nightmare from the mind of Paul Etheredge.”

“To break the cycle, there are only two ways: by killing — if you take a life, you’ll get the time that person had left — or you have to die. Good luck.”

Those are the sage words Tony Todd imparts on the latest group of people trying to cheat death in the Final Destination Bloodlines ad below.

The late horror icon reprises his role as William Bludworth in his final big screen appearance on May 16 from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

Directed by Zach Lipovsky & Adam Stein (Freaks), the first new Final Destination movie in 14 years will take audiences back to the beginning of Death’s twisted sense of justice.

Last weekend thousands of the world’s most passionate and obsessive movie fans descended upon Hollywood for the 16th annual TCM Classic Film Festival, which provided opportunities to see everything from “Gunfight at the Ok Corral” and “We’re No Angels” projected in true VistaVision to nitrate prints of “Daisy Kenyon” and “Mildred Pierce” at The Egyptian Theatre, one of only five venues in the country capable of screening that format. There was also a restoration of a silent classic with live accompaniment (“Beau Geste“), a BFI restoration of Ernst Lubitsch’s timeless — and timely — comedy “To Be or Not to Be,” and a a tribute to groundbreaking director Michael Schultz, among many other delightful programs.

It’s hard to pick a favorite event from such a stacked weekend, but for sheer moviegoing pleasure it was tough to beat the 35th anniversary screening of “Misery,” which screened in the legendary Tcl...

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 on May 16, 2025, and a teaser trailer and a full trailer (embedded above) have both been unveiled. 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...

If you want to go into Final Destination Bloodlines knowing as little as possible when it hits theaters on May 16, you may want to avoid reading any further.

In a new interview with SFX Magazine, Zach Lipovsky — who co-directs the sixth installment in the horror franchise with Adam Stein — teased a twist on the film’s opening premonition.

“For this film, the first premonition takes place in 1969,” Lipovsky revealed.

“There are lots of deaths during the premonition, which is what normally happens in the opening sequence of a Final Destination movie, but we then come out of the eye of a different person in the modern day. That’s new. For a lot of fans, I think that’s going to immediately throw them for a loop. It’s going to make them lean forward to try and figure out what’s going on.”

He continued, “As moviegoers, we love...

Vampires’ vulnerabilities will often leave them, along with their stories, restricted to a single location. However, J. S. Cardone’s The Forsaken is not quite like other fang flicks. This film taps into vampires’ sense of wanderlust about as much as their bloodlust. And instead of feasting on a lone town, city or village, the villains of this somewhat forgotten but also worthwhile horror film feed their insatiable hunger on the open roads of America.

As the horror genre was figuring out its next move, following the surge of slashers during the tail end of the 1990s and before splatter films soaked the mid to late 2000s, vampires seemed like a safe bet for Screen Gems. Especially after From Dusk till Dawn and John Carpenter’s Vampires had already loosened the faucet on dynamic vamp tales set in outlying and desolate areas. The days of elegant, aristocratic and talky adult...

This story includes details about Final Destination: Bloodlines' opening scene.

When a classic horror franchise like Final Destinationprepares for a new release, horror fans brace themselves for a death ride. The characters always die in the most "everyday activity" ways, mimicking something that could happen in real life. Of course, there's a cinematic dramatic touch to each scene, but this franchise has traumatized an entire generation. The fear of driving behind a big truck with logs exists thanks to Final Destination 2's infamous log truck scene. Now, horror lovers are preparing for another installment, Final Destination: Bloodlines, but there's something that will make this movie not like the others.

Director Zach Lipovsky revealed that the upcoming movie will deviate from what fans are used to — especially the opening scene. Speaking to SFX Magazine ahead of the film's May 16 release, he said:

Final Destination: Bloodlines is the latest film in the Final Destination franchise and will continue the iconic franchise after 14 years! Naturally, fans are more than excited about the movie.

Although it is an attempt to rejuvinate interest in the franchise, the movie might not be without faults. These loopholes and plot holes are so weak that even iconic horror director Wes Craven would roll in his grave and laugh!

Final Destination: Bloodlines will be different

By different, we mean that the Og formula, which was there for the first five Final Destination films, will not be there in the upcoming movie. Whether the difference is good or bad, you can be your own judge.

The formula for the earlier Final Destination films was quite simple: A premonition of death, a group of people survive, and Death comes after...

If you love horror, Final Destination isn’t just a movie—it’s a stress test for your imagination. Every object suddenly feels like a death trap. One minute, everything seems expected, and the next, someone is getting taken out by a freak accident so bizarre you’ll never look at everyday life the same way again.

Highways? Too risky. Roller coasters? Not unless a heart attack is desired. Airplane turbulence? Gripping the seat like it’s the last lifeline. Well, Death is back, and this time, it’s playing by new rules. Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth installment in the franchise, and it’s not just a reboot or another copy-paste sequel.

The creators have made it clear that this one will be distinct, switching up the formula that made the series famous. If you thought you knew how this franchise worked, think again—because this time, Death isn’t following the script.

Spoilers: This post contains details about Final Destinations: Bloodlines

After 25 years, death has a few twists in store for fans of the Final Destination franchise.

With the sixth installment Final Destination: Bloodlines premiering May 16 in theaters, director Zach Lipovsky recently teased how the upcoming sequel deviates from the series of horror movies.

The Bunker, a sci-fi horror feature led by the late Tony Todd, is getting ready to head out into the world.

Electric Entertainment has acquired North American distribution rights to the movie that hails from Jackrabbit Media. Helmed by Brian Hanson (The Black String), the film stars Todd, Tobin Bell (the Saw franchise), Chad Michael Collins (Sniper: Rogue Mission) and Chelsea Edmundson (The Iron Claw).

The Bunker centers on Dr. Michelle Riley (Edmundson), a young scientist sealed in a secret bunker with a team of researchers tasked with developing a weapon to stop an alien invasion. However, Riley begins to have doubts about the true goal of the mission. A trailer exclusive to The Hollywood Reporter can be seen below.

A twisted new horror movie is entering production, and it’s being helmed by a powerhouse team of genre veterans and unexpected collaborators.

Titled The Slashin’ of the Christ, the project is penned by Ice Nine Kills vocalist Spencer Charnas and Paul Soter, best known for his work with the cult comedy troupe Broken Lizard. Charnas, no stranger to horror theatrics, is bringing his blood-soaked musical sensibilities to the screen alongside Soter, whose past dabblings in horror-comedy (Club Dread) suggest we’re in for something strange, bold, and irreverent.

But the horror credentials don’t stop there.

'The Slashin’ of the Christ' is an upcoming cinematic abomination from @Iceninekills frontman @spencerink, Paul Soter ('Club Dread'), and horror hero Greg Nicotero. Are you as interested as we are? Learn more here:https://t.co/K1e1Jarsnx

Legendary effects artist and producer Greg Nicotero has signed on to produce the film.

This article contains spoilers for the first five "Final Destination" movies.

A good hook in a horror sequel can lure audiences in with the promise of a shakeup to the formula, whether it be adding a supernatural twist, ramping up the gore effects, or adopting a different tone altogether. You don't want a cool idea to get stale. One of the greatest strengths of "Final Destination" as a franchise is that each new film has mostly been able to sell itself by demolishing the sanctity of our everyday routines. James Wong, Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick redefined the fear of flying for an entire generation. The series has since made it its mission to cast doubt over the little things — and the many ways they can kill us.

This is why "Final Destination" has maintained its cultural stronghold over the past 25 years, despite the last installment coming out nearly a decade and a half ago.

Having exceeded expectations in its domestic box office debut, director Ryan Coogler's Sinners is breaking new ground mere days into its theatrical run. The genre-bending vampire film has passed the $50 million mark domestically, and in just five days of release, has become one of the 100 highest-grossing horror films in domestic box office history. Sinners achieved this milestone on Monday, after grossing a handsome $7 million and pushing its running domestic total to $55 million. The movie got things going with a $48 million haul in its first weekend, exceeding expectations on the back of tremendous reviews and audience reception.

Its $55 million haul makes it the 100th highest-grossing horror film in domestic box office history. Some of the movies immediately ahead of it are the original Saw, Escape Room, and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. Sinners passed hits such as Insidious, Final Destination, and The Black Phone as it made its way towards the top 100 list.

It’s the summer of the franchise reboots, whether it be the new Final Destination film or Jennifer Kaytin Robinson‘s upcoming take on the iconic slasher, I Know What You Did Last Summer, which just got its first official trailer. Based on a story by Robinson and Leah McKendrick and a script by Robinson and Sam Lansky (and featuring some iconic cameos from Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.), Robinson is resurrecting the classic slasher with a new take on urban legends and gnarly deaths.

In the franchise reboot:

When five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, they cover up their involvement and make a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge.

I have a confession to make: even as a horror fan, the Final Destination franchise never fails to unsettle me. There’s something uniquely sinister about how the series plays with your anxiety, each new entry escalating the complexity of its kills. I mean, sure, some deaths would feel more at home in a Looney Tunes skit, but don’t tell me you’re not deathly afraid of trucks carrying logs thanks to Final Destination 2. That scene defined (and scarred) a generation. It’s hard to believe the first Final Destination movie came out 25 years ago. Granted, some of the special effects and the, let’s say, questionable fashion choices certainly date the movie, but James Wong’s saga remains one of the most unique concepts in the horror landscape. The premise of a group of people escaping certain death, only to be cornered into a gruesome demise later by an invisible force,...

This year will see the release of Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth film in the franchise, and the first one in over a decade. The anxiety-inducing Rube Goldberg deaths the series is known for have become legendary among horror movie fans, but behind the gory deaths and tense setpieces lies a creative regret that still haunts the franchise’s creators. Jeffrey Reddick, the original screenwriter of Final Destination, recently opened up about one pivotal misstep that altered the trajectory of the series: the abrupt, off-screen demise of Devon Sawa’s Alex Browning in Final Destination 2. Considering how pivotal Alex was for the plot in the first film, every fan believed (including Reddick) that he would become the face of the series, only for Clear (Ali Larter) to confirm he died between the first two films. Reddick has long argued that Alex had the potential to break the mold of...

This article contains spoilers for every "Final Destination" movie.

For over 25 years, the "Final Destination" series has instilled a very special fear of death with audiences. Everyone meets their end at some point or another, but these movies take perverse pleasure in showing all of the grisly manners it can manifest. Unlike other horror franchises like "Friday the 13th" or "Scream," where you can physically see the killer coming toward you, in the world of "Final Destination," Death can take the form of just about anything. All it takes is a loose screw, a curling iron, or a creep with a box full of hook hands to get the ball rolling.

It's very fitting for a franchise about a deadly omniscient presence to make you anxious of your surroundings at all times. But try as they might, the characters in every "Final Destination" usually meet a grisly end one way or another.

What better day than Good Friday could there be to announce a horror project with a title that spoofs the title of Mel Gibson’s 2004 film The Passion of the Christ, which is all about the event that’s commemorated on Good Friday: the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? There could be no better day. At least, that’s what the people behind the upcoming horror project The Slashin’ of the Christ clearly decided.

An official website for the project launched today at SlashinoftheChrist.com, and at that link you’ll see an image that lets us know this project, which we assume to be a horror comedy film, is coming to us “from the people who brought you The Walking Dead, Final Destination, and Super Troopers.” Specifically, those people are producers Greg Nicotero (who you may also know as an incredibly talented special effects artist) – who’s an executive producer...

From the people who brought you “The Walking Dead,” Final Destination and Super Troopers (how’s that for a wildly unexpected pairing?!) comes The Slashin’ of the Christ, a mysterious upcoming horror project that has popped up on the Bloody Disgusting radar this week.

The project has come to our attention after a series of cryptic teases from the social media accounts for the band Ice Nine Kills, and we’ve been able to deduce that Ink frontman Spencer Charnas wrote the script for The Slashin’ of the Christ alongside Paul Soter (Super Troopers).

Paul Soter, a member of the popular Broken Lizard comedy group, wrote films including Super Troopers, Beerfest, and the slasher comedy Club Dread, and he’ll be returning to the horror arena with the upcoming film The Slashin’ of the Christ. Also on board this mysterious film? Filmmaker, makeup FX master and “The Walking Dead” executive producer Greg Nicotero!

JoBlo’s own Ryan Cultrera was recently able to catch up with several popular Final Girls at the Ve Neill’s Vampire Weekend convention in California. Last week, we shared Ryan’s interviews with Lisa Wilcox from the Elm Street franchise, Christine Elise from the Child’s Play / Chucky franchise, and Melanie Kinnaman from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. He also got to talk with one of the horror genre’s greatest male heroes, Ken Foree, and the legendary character actor Michael Ironside. But we’re not done sharing Vampire Weekend interviews yet!

Now, we’ve collected moments from Ryan’s conversations with Lisa Wilcox, Ken Foree, and Michael Ironside in the video embedded above, which also includes previously unreleased interviews with makeup artist Ve Neill and actor Daniel Roebuck!

Ve Neill’s career stretches back to the 1970s and includes work on Kingdom of the Spiders, Laserblast, Tourist Trap,...

Final Destination fans, a new slew of images has been revealed, and they are the stuff of our nightmares. In times when everything old has enough nostalgic value to turn it into a sequel or prequel, the new chapter in the franchise, Final Destination:Bloodline, stands tall with its predecessor in terms of shock value and freak accidents.

The new images give us a peek at all things gore that filmmakers (and death) have in store. In one image, Owen Patrick Joyne is crawling on the ground in what seems an attempt to save his life. Another set of images expands on the party gone wrong sequence we saw in the trailer: one image sees a person on fire, another sees Brec Bassingerlooking at us while her background is clearly set on fire. Another very gory image sees flesh peeling off of someone’s ring finger. By the look of it,...

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 on May 16, 2025, and a teaser trailer and a full trailer (embedded above) have both been unveiled. Now, our friends at Bloody Disgusting have shared ten new images from the film, and you can check them out at the bottom of this article!

Final Destination: Bloodlines has the following synopsis: Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person...

11 new images from Final Destination Bloodlines give you a taste of what Death has in store in the franchise’s sixth installment.

In theaters May 16 from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., the first new Final Destination movie in 14 years will take audiences back to the beginning of Death’s twisted sense of justice.

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.

Kaitlyn Santa Juana (“The Flash”), Teo Briones (“Chucky”), Richard Harmon (“The 100”), Owen Patrick Joyner (“Julie and the Phantoms”), Rya Kihlstedt (“Dexter”), Anna Lore (“Doom Patrol”), and Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) star alongside horror legend Tony Todd in his final big screen appearance.

Netflix is currently stirring the pot for horror lovers with a sinister gem that’s making waves for one reason above all and it is its jaw-dropping finale. The film, Final Destination 5, is not your average fright fest, but a rollercoaster of suspense, twisted fate, and a climax that’s been called a genre-defining mic drop.

The Twist That Redefined the Franchise

The setup of the movie sounds deceptively simple like a team-building retreat. That is, until Sam Lawton experiences a terrifying premonition of a collapsing suspension bridge and before it strikes, he pulls a few colleagues back from the brink. But in the universe of Final Destination, death doesn’t like being cheated and it’s not subtle about collecting what’s owed.

This fifth chapter in the long-running franchise doesn’t just follow the usual formula of freak accidents and Rube Goldberg-style fatalities.

With franchises like Final Destination and I Know What You Did Last Summer celebrating big comebacks this summer, along with new standalones including Weapons and Together, this summer is going to be a remarkable one for horror fans. Yet, there is another title that plans to take the crown of the scariest film of not just the summer but the entire year — Danny and Michael Philippou’s Bring Her Back. Anyone who saw the brothers’ debut feature-length project, Talk to Me, will know that the pair means business, and they’re certainly following up the crowdpleaser that no one saw coming with something just as — and maybe even more — terrifying. Today, Collider is thrilled to debut the very first official image to come from the world’s new horror obsession, set to arrive in cinemas on May 30.

Our debut look gets viewers up close and personal with Sweet Tooth alum Jonah Wren Phillips.

Escaping Death is a great way to immerse yourself in the Final Destination saga...

There’s a lot for Final Destination fans to look forward to when Final Destination: Bloodlines comes splattering onto a theater screen near you on May 16. After the first five movies came out one after another in rapid succession, the sixth installment has certainly taken its dear old time, waiting more than a decade before joining the series. And, while we’re excited about a new storyline and what is sure to be a jaw-droppingly horrifying set of deaths, we’d be lying if we said it wouldn’t be a bittersweet experience. That’s because it will be the last time we’ll spot genre legend and franchise favorite Tony Todd in the role of William Bludworth — the funeral homeowner who is a bit too chummy with the grim reaper. A brand-new TV spot focuses on Todd’s final appearance, and gives us a chilling look into the hard-to-face...
