Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) —blood is thicker than water in a slick horror sequel

Plagued by a recurring nightmare, a college student returns home to find the one person who can break the cycle and save her family from the horrific fate that awaits them.

In one of the many funeral services within this franchise, the importance of time and how to spend it wisely is brought up. It’s a theme well explored where premonitions of imminent death speed people through the stages of grief regarding their own mortality. Time is also relevant to the legions of horror fans who have been waiting 14 years since the last entry, Final Destination 5 (2011). A solid sequel that tactfully painted itself as a celebratory send-off. Like every twist ending, Death never gives up on his plans but rests dormant until we least suspect it. Final Destination Bloodlines offers origins and revelations that never fully transform its predecessors and serves as another perfectly decent sequel.
