150 Word Review: 'Final Destination Bloodlines' (2025)
Death becomes everyone
The Final Destination franchise poses pop culture's most existential question: Is death just the punchline to one long, elaborate joke that we call life? Remember the premise: no one escapes their death—those who do meet a fate that is gruesome and surprisingly creative.
In Final Destination Bloodlines, the sixth in the series, a college student is tormented by recurring nightmares of a disaster that never happened but should have. It turns out that her grandmother had prevented the nightmare's scenario decades prior, saving dozens of lives. And death didn't like that, not one bit.
The franchise's winning slapstick Rube Goldberg-style kill scenes are bloodier than ever. Impalements! Dismemberments! A lawn mower turns someone's face into strawberry jam! There are a few fun shout-outs to past sequels. The opening is a masterpiece of mayhem. Kaitlyn Santa Juana is this movie's Cassandra, cursed to know death is coming. She screams well.
