Hi all! 

Today I am reviewing new-release, horror: Final Destination – Bloodlines. It hit cinemas this month, allowing me the opportunity of seeing it on the big screen. Plagued by a violent and recurring nightmare, a college student heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle of death. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

WHAT WORKED:

Wow! This movie had the best opening scene in the franchise. I was completely and utterly gagged. It also had the most violent and gory deaths. You have to give the writing team props for creativity. You think it’s going one way, but it ends up going the other. Bloodlines takes quite a unique turn from the other films in the series. It spans many decades, navigating multitudes of families that managed to cheat fate. When you mess with death, things get messy. Furthermore, getting a final appearance from Tony Todd, whilst deepening his lore, meant a lot to horror lovers everywhere. Can this instalment ever truly live up to the originals? No, but it stands on its own, paying just the right amount of fan service. If you’re a fan of Final Destination, you’ll be happy to be back . 

WHAT DIDN’T WORK:

If I had any negative critiques, it would be the middle act had a bit of a lull. It’s hard to maintain the energy of the opening and the ending scene. I also thought the look of Iris’s home was ridiculous. There were so many things that could have killed her! I found that part hard to buy. Other than that, I was extremely happy with Bloodlines. 

OVERALL STAR RATING:

I gave it 4.5/5 stars. What a wild ride. 

Have you seen Final Destination – Bloodlines? What did you think of it?  

Peace & Love xoxo
