Film Review - Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)

Final Destination: Bloodlines is the newest film in the series and concerns Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) who has horrible nightmares of an incident concerning the Skytower restaurant and wants to talk to her grandmother Iris (Gabrielle Jones) about the incident but her family is weary as Iris was there the night of that fateful accident and it has haunted her ever since.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a lot of fun and more than once I had a big smile on my face watching the film and those moments come mainly in the grizzly death scenes that have always been pretty creative in this series (though I’ve only seen the first 2 films I will admit) but here there’s a lawnmower, a high rise tower and a very memorable one with a fan in a tattoo shop and though the film at times throws you off in terms of how and when people will die but that’s part of the fun.

As for the storytelling itself, its okay but sometimes you just sit there thinking “okay stop talking just hurry up and die already” and the cast are pretty good though Juana did remind me a little of Melissa Barrera from the recent Scream films (before that series foolishly got rid of her) while Richard Harmon, Teo Briones, Owen Joyner, Anna Lore, Gabrielle Jones and Rya Kihlstedt are good in their roles as well.

This movie was also sadly the final film of Tony Todd and seeing him here so thin and frail was sad to see as I always enjoyed seeing him pop up in movies like this series or the Rock or Candyman and also as Worf’s brother Kurn on Star Trek the Next Generation (his exit from the franchise on Deep Space Nine however deserved far better)

And so that was Final Destination Bloodlines and it is a good time on a dark night at the cinema, 3 and a half out of 5.
