Just as Meghan Markle might excitedly announce, “I’ve got a fantastic business concept!”, disaster looms ominously in the background, and once more death lurks among fresh characters in Final Destination: Bloodlines. It’s much like anything she says, both startling and humorous. But here, it’s all part of an intentional and highly entertaining narrative.
Instead of starting with modern-day events like the previous movies, this film opens in the 1960s, depicting the grand opening of a rotating restaurant atop a newly constructed tower – think of Toronto’s Skylight Tower Restaurant with its glass floor for reference. True to form, it concludes with a massive and creatively designed disaster sequence that results in catastrophic death and destruction.
In a striking departure from its predecessors, this movie isn’t about prophecies but Stefani’s (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) recurring nightmares that are gradually consuming her sanity. The chilling twist is that Death, denied its victims during the restaurant opening decades ago, has now set its sights on Stefani and her family, who are inexorably linked to the intended victims’ bloodlines. As the body count starts rising, we’re treated to the usual over-the-top action sequences that hint at various grisly ends. However, just when you think you know what’s coming, the film delivers a jaw-dropping and often gory twist that leaves viewers reeling.
This movie follows the traditional formula that’s been a key aspect of the franchise’s charm, and it includes more humor than you might expect from past installments. There are scenes that will make you laugh and cringe simultaneously. As the family becomes aware of impending doom, there are some surprisingly humorous instances as they grow overly protective, knowing death can strike at any moment in an unexpected fashion. Part of the enjoyment comes from guessing how their demise will occur, even when it seems predictable given a character’s known allergy to peanuts.
This sixth installment avoids altering its folklore to accommodate the previous films, a pitfall that many horror series, such as Saw, have experienced before regaining their footing. The Final Destination series dates back to 2000, but for those new to the franchise, there’s no requirement of prior knowledge. Each film can be enjoyed independently, although dedicated fans will find Easter eggs and the return of Tony Todd, who, in this movie, makes his final appearance before retiring from acting.
After a fourteen-year gap since the last installment of the Final Destination series, Bloodlines proves to be an engaging revival that offers delightful, spectacle-filled nonsense, particularly in its intricately choreographed scenes such as the opening restaurant sequence. This film appeals to both novice and ardent fans alike.
