Death Is Coming in the ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Trailer

Prior to Tony Todd’s passing due to cancer late in 2020, he made his last appearance in the Final Destination series. Todd played funeral director William Bludworth in three previous Final Destination films. In these movies, Bludworth is a character who understands death and its unique guidelines. He is one of the key figures in the long-running series that follows groups of teenagers who survive accidents that were supposed to kill them, only to encounter bizarre, unlikely deaths elsewhere.

In my latest movie review, I’ve just taken a glimpse at the thrilling trailer for the upcoming “Final Destination: Bloodlines.” This time around, we find Todd reprising his role as Bludworth. The plot unfolds as a young woman, much like our previous protagonists, manages to dodge an impending fate through a premonition. However, the twist this time is chilling – years later, death comes knocking on the door of her family, a family that should never have been born in the first place if she had met her original demise. So, fasten your seatbelts and be prepared to watch out for lawn mowers, blenders, and anything with large spinning blades – it’s going to be another nerve-wracking ride!

Here is the latest Final Destination sequel’s official synopsis:

In this new installment of New Line Cinema’s popular horror franchise, titled “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” we delve into Death’s dark sense of justice once more. College student Stefanie is plagued by a persistent and violent nightmare, prompting her to return home in search of the only individual who might be able to halt the chain of events leading to an impending, ghastly fate for her entire family.

Final Destination Bloodlines is scheduled to open in theaters on May 16.

The 10 Worst Movies of the Last Ten Years (2015-2024)

10. The Happytime Murders (2018)

In Brian Henson’s adult-oriented puppet comedy, “The Happytime Murders,” there’s an abundance of explicit humor that caters to a mature audience. The creators primarily focused on the idea of incorporating puppets into edgy and sexually suggestive comedy, resulting in a film filled with crude jokes about puppet genitalia. For instance, if you ever find yourself at a trivia night and the question is “Which movie features Melissa McCarthy biting a puppet’s penis?” or “Where does Joel McHale gaze at a puppet’s vagina in a parody of the classic ‘Basic Instinct’ scene?”, the answer would be “The Happytime Murders” for both. The only individual who manages to maintain a positive reputation amidst this is Maya Rudolph, as she delivers a clever rice pilaf joke – making her a true hero in our books!

9. The Book of Henry (2017)

In my perspective, after directing Jurassic World, Colin Trevorrow delivered a film that left me puzzled and awestruck – a unique blend of magical realism and disturbing themes. It’s a tale that can be interpreted as a modern-day parable of Christ, with a godlike figure sacrificing himself to allow a troubled mother to commit a heinous act and adopt her abused stepdaughter. Simultaneously, it serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of apathy, conveying this message through an extraordinary child who, from beyond the grave, teaches his mother how to become a master assassin. And yes, these events indeed unfold in The Book of Henry.

8. Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

In “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” Warner Bros. portrayed itself as a heartless assembly of intellectual properties controlled by an antagonistic algorithm, essentially taking a self-deprecating jab in cinematic terms. The movie, overall, was weak and unfunny to the point that it made the original “Space Jam” appear like a masterpiece such as “2001: A Space Odyssey.” LeBron James isn’t a terrible actor – he’s not any worse in the lead than Michael Jordan was in the original film – but nearly everything else about “A New Legacy” is embarrassing from top to bottom. It even seems to misunderstand the charm of the Looney Tunes, and Bugs Bunny, in particular, is turned into a grumbling pessimist. My suggestion: Instead, watch some classic “Looney Tunes Cartoons” on Max. Even a random short has at least five times as many laughs as this entire two-hour film. Moreover, the animation quality is superior.

7. Dirty Grandpa (2016)

If you find humor in the unexpected juxtaposition of sweetness and vulgarity – like a grandpa spouting lewd phrases – then “Dirty Grandpa” might tickle your funny bone. If you’re seeking comedy with genuine wit or without an overabundance of offensive language, this film may not hit the mark for you. However, it’s fair to say that the title is an apt reflection of the movie’s content.

6. Marmaduke (2022)

If there’s an animated movie uglier or less visually appealing than Marmaduke, I’ve never seen it. I hope I never will. It looks like it was made as part of a money laundering scheme, or one of those odd deals where the producers have to create something by a deadline, regardless of quality.

Despite the terrible animation, Marmaduke boasts the voice talents of some genuinely funny, well-known actors like J.K. Simmons, David Koechner, and Pete Davidson. How could they have missed this? Did they not read the script? Didn’t they see the hideous characters they were supposed to voice? Were they offered a private island each in exchange for their services? I can’t fathom how this happened. Marmaduke is nothing but trash. I wouldn’t even force it on the bullies from my school bus who used to torment me with songs about my boogers — which, come to think of it, was more creative than this Marmaduke.

5. Madame Web (2024)

In a similar vein to many pre-Marvel Studios Marvel films, the movie “Madame Web” appears to be somewhat awkward about its comic book origins. This unease is shared by Dakota Johnson, who portrays the titular character, although it seems questionable to label her as the title character when no one in the film actually refers to her by that name. Instead, she’s known as Cassie Webb. Except for a fleeting moment, she never dons a superhero costume throughout the film, and the overall mood seems self-conscious about the project. Given the circumstances, this reaction is not entirely unjustified. The movie feels odd, peculiar at times, bordering on incomprehensible – it makes “The Amazing Spider-Man” look like “Spider-Man 2.” Watching it alongside Kevin Feige would undoubtedly be an entertaining experience.

4. The Emoji Movie (2017)

As a movie enthusiast, I can imagine a compelling flick about the intricacies of smartphone culture and perhaps even emojis, but it would need a script brimming with biting satire and an edgy perspective to avoid being as flat as the character designs in The Emoji Movie. While the movie sends a somewhat encouraging message about accepting diversity, overall, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a studio closely tied to a tech giant whose success relies on annual smartphone sales: A subtly marketed advertisement that implies owning a cell phone can boost your popularity and make girls find you more appealing. Yuck!

3. Artemis Fowl (2020)

Initially, during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic around 65 years ago (a typo in the original text), Disney postponed all its blockbuster films from 2020, with the exception of “Artemis Fowl”, which they released directly on Disney+. Reflecting back, this decision was a warning sign. This film adaptation of the well-liked young adult book series packs approximately ten novels’ worth of content into just 90 minutes, resulting in a confusing and almost unbearable viewing experience. If you can decipher how Josh Gad’s character transitioned from burglarizing Artemis Fowl’s house to partnering with him to thwart another character without any dialogue exchanged between them, then you are more intelligent than I. Remarkably, “Artemis Fowl” managed to make viewers feel cheated even when they paid nothing beyond their existing subscription fee.

2. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)

This low-budget horror film, inspired by the renowned A.A. Milne book now in the public domain, serves poorly as either a slasher or a satire on children’s literature. Strangely enough, it manages to be effective, albeit in a twisted way, as an argument against the idea of a public domain. (If strong copyright laws prevent garbage like this from being produced and exposed to unwitting audiences… perhaps it’s not all bad?) The film, titled “Blood and Honey,” is essentially an unbearable heap of trash.

1. Dolittle (2020)

In the style of Tim Burton’s Batman, where a back-street doctor botches Jack Napier’s face reconstruction, resulting in the grotesque visage of the Joker, Dolittle is similar – a chaotic and disjointed movie that seems like it was pieced together from leftovers and re-shoots of what once promised to be a serious production. Initially, it may have been intended as a more somber tale; however, it morphed into a cinematic Frankenstein’s monster filled with bathroom humor, animal puns, subpar CGI, and an over-the-top performance by Robert Downey Jr., who outshines even Johnny Depp’s reserved Captain Jack Sparrow.
