Final Destination Bloodlines has finally landed in the theatres, and it is set to wreak havoc at the box office, judging by its strong numbers from the previews. The film has already started to give competition to Ryan Coogler’s dominating horror movie Sinners. It might even beat it with its opening weekend collection. The horror flick’s CinemaScore rating has also been revealed and is quite favorable for it. Keep scrolling for more.

The film was directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein. This is the sixth film in the Final Destination film series. This sequel has arrived after over a decade, featuring Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and Tony Todd. It is the best-reviewed film in the franchise, receiving 92% from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes,...

2025 has been one of the weaker years for the film industry as high-budget films like Captain America: Brave New World and Snow White have failed at both impressing the audience and at the box office. While there have been many disappointments this year, it does not mean that there have been no good movies released this year, and to prove that, we have compiled a list of the best movies that have come out in 2025 so far.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a supernatural horror film co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein from a screenplay co-written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor. The 2025 film is the sixth entry into the Final Destination film franchise, and it follows a college student who saves the lives of many people who were supposed to die,...

It's hard to believe that it's been 14 years since the last Final Destination film was released in theaters (and the franchise feels more popular now than ever before—just try looking at a log truck on the road and not thinking about that killer opening in Final Destination 2), but the latest installment is well worth the wait. Paying homage to the franchise's past installments while carving its own gory trail in the creatively macabre image of Death's design, Final Destinations Bloodlines is the perfect balance of blood-soaked horror, gallows humor, and heart-wrenching moments, especially because this latest film follows an entire family who have cheated Death by their very existence, and who find themselves in the shadow of the Grim Reaper's scythe now that Death has finally caught up to them decades later...

Final Destination: Bloodlines resurrects everyone’s favorite non-corporeal grim reaper for another gleefully twisted adventure, proving that even after more than a decade-long drought, Death still has impeccable timing and a wicked sense of humor. It’s a macabre family reunion, blending nostalgic thrills with enough fresh twists and genuine heart to keep things exciting. If you’ve ever nervously eyed a ceiling fan, tanning bed, or log truck with a deep-seated unease, rest assured: Death hasn’t lost your number.

“Final Destination: Bloodlines resurrects everyone’s favorite non-corporeal grim reaper for another gleefully twisted adventure, proving that even after more than a decade-long drought, Death still has impeccable timing and a wicked sense of humor.”

The Final Destination franchise is back on the big screen after a 14 year break between installments, but that’s not the only new horror movie waiting for your attention this week.

Here’s all the new horror that released from May 12 – May 16, 2025!

From Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, the twisted take on the childhood classic is written and directed by Scott Chambers, who produced the Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey films in addition to starring in the second installment as Christopher Robin.

In the British indie slasher, “Wendy Darling strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from the clutches of the evil Peter Pan who intends to send him to Neverland.

Final Destination Bloodlines, the sixth installment in the beloved supernatural horror series, opens Friday in theaters. Fans loved the first five Final Destination movies, but they've all been met with a log to the face at the Academy Awards. After this week's glowing critics' reviews, Bloodlines could find itself competitive in four Oscar categories next year ... if voters aren't too afraid.

Kaitlyn Santa Juana stars as Stefani Reyes, a present-day college student inexplicably haunted by a tower collapse from 1968. Teo Briones plays Charlie Reyes, Stefani's younger brother, while Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Anna Lore play their cousins. Rya Kihlstedt portrays Stefani and Charlie's estranged mother, Darlene Campbell, and the dual role of Grandma Iris was given to Gabrielle Rose (the older version) and Brec Bassinger (the younger version). Horror icon Tony Todd, who died in 2024, returns one last time as fan-fave character William Bludworth, a mortician who...

This article contains spoilers for the "Final Destination" franchise, including "Bloodlines."

One of the highlights of 2000's "Final Destination" is how Glen Morgan and James Wong reconfigured Jeffrey Reddick's premise about a boy helping himself and others escape their fate after having a premonition of a deadly airplane accident into a slasher film where the killer is literally Death. Not only did this mean that Death was never personified or ever really seen in the movie, but it also allowed for Morgan and Wong (the latter also being the director) to present each kill scene as a series of escalating mishaps and accidents, essentially turning each setpiece into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine of mayhem. When "Final Destination 2" was made just a few years later, the filmmakers could've simply written a sequel that repeated the premise of the first film, and ostensibly, they did. It's a formula that would work,...

The horror franchise with the creative kills is back to splatter blood on the big screen. The new entry, Final Destination: Bloodlines, was long in development after the fifth installment. Franchise producer Craig Perry previously let it be known that the film was aiming for a theatrical release in 2025, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. Tony Todd makes his last appearance in this film before his passing and is joined in the cast by Brec Bassinger, Richard Harmon, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones, Andrew Tinpo Lee, April Amber Telek, and Alex Zahara.

While Final Destination is a well-established franchise for the Warner Bros. studio, it remains to be seen if it can compete with the kind of numbers that Sinners recently brought in just weeks ago. Deadline reports that Final Destination: Bloodlines would...

There’s always one last destination, and this time around, audiences are being taken all the way back to the very beginning where Death first made its mark.

After Warner Bros. carved out a successful theater takeover with “Minecraft” and sank its teeth even deeper with “Sinners,” the studio is coming for more blood with the release of the newest chapter of “Final Destination: Bloodlines.”

Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein directed the film, and Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor penned the screenplay. The story is by Jon Watts, Busick and Evans Taylor.

As always, the films have served as an action-packed, gory and terrifyingly good time, but how will the stars in the film try to cheat death this time? Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch.

Following the record-breaking opening weekend for “A Minecraft Movie” and the breakout success of Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” a new slate of blockbusters and indie films are hoping to drum up excitement in May about what 2025 has to offer in the cinema landscape.

Starting with the weekend’s wide releases, horror fans have “Final Destination Bloodlines” to look forward to, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the 2000 original. “Bloodlines” stars Tony Todd, Brec Bassinger, Richard Harmon and Kaitlyn Santa Juana with the plot following a college student getting consumed by a recurring nightmare.

A scene from ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’

For 25 years and through five movies, the Final Destination franchise has been making people afraid to drive behind logging trucks and relax in tanning beds. It’s made me personally think twice about laser eye surgery, that’s for sure. And the hits keep coming, all the way up to and including the newest installment, Final Destination Bloodlines.

Final Destination Bloodlines is about a young woman named Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana from The Friendship Game) who is plagued by a recurring nightmare about the collapse of a high-rise restaurant that kills hundreds of people. After a little investigation, Stefani discovers that her dream is actually a premonition that was had by her grandmother, Iris (Stargirl’s Brec Bassinger), that helped Iris save those hundreds of lives.

Final Destination fans see where this is going.

All of the lives saved by Iris wound up “cheating death,...

Final Destination Bloodlines Movie Review(Photo Credit –YouTube)

What’s Good: The kill sequences are just as amazing as ever, and the opening must be one of the best in the series.

What’s Bad: Most characters are empty shells waiting to be killed, but that is expected for a film with characters in line only to get killed.

Loo Break: The film is lean and mean, so there aren’t many spaces to take a break.

Watch or Not?: If you loved past installments, then this is a must-watch, and if you are a newcomer, then it is still pretty cool.

Language: English (with subtitles).

Available On: Theaters

Runtime: 110 Minutes.

Chicago – As the first “Final Destination” movie in 14 years, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” knows what audiences came to see. It’s the sort of legacy sequel that is clearly preaching to the choir, where a wind chime and the familiar score sets the audience up for a CGI splatter fest … plotting and character development aren’t its strong suits.

The film begins with the customary early premonition. It’s the late 1960’s and a boyfriend and girlfriend are heading to the opening of a Space Needle-type skyview restaurant, which is proclaimed to be an engineering marvel that’s opened ahead of schedule. Like clockwork though it all falls to pieces on that Opening Night.

The real protagonist is college student Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) who has been troubled by a nightmare about a grandmother she’s never met, who was at that skyview tower she’s been haunted by. So she...

Plenty of legacy sequels have attempted to bring back past franchises with a more modern sensibility, but only a few have had more than one “second chance,” and it’s pretty fitting that Final Destination is one of those series that keeps cheating death. Final Destination Bloodlines, the second revival of the 2000s horror franchise, is a glorious return to form, offering plenty of laughs and a ton of twisted mayhem — precisely what audiences want from these films.

Final Destination Bloodlines Review

With a story by Jon Watts (the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy), Guy Busick (the new Scream movies), and Lori Evans Taylor, Final Destination Bloodlines offers an interesting twist on the familiar formula — after a group of people “cheated Death” by surviving a would-be tragic accident when someone has a premonition, they find themselves dying in increasingly peculiar ways. But this time, it’s not just the survivors that...

The sixth instalment in the Final Destination franchise is set to hit theaters this weekend, and the review embargo has now lifted.

Despite being popular with horror fans who looked forward to seeing what kind of twistedly inventive scenarios Death would come up with to dispatch those who managed to cheat the Reaper, the Final Destination movies were never what you'd call critical darlings. Even the 2000 original - which is generally regarded as the best - only has a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.

With this in mind, it's definitely a surprise to see such a positive response to Final Destination Bloodlines. With 59 reviews counted, the movie is currently sitting at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Adding some surprising emotional layers onto the ghoulish bones of Final Destination's mythology, Bloodlines ingeniously executes grisly set pieces with precision and turns impending doom into outrageous fun."

Final Destination Bloodlines Rotten Tomatoes Score(Photo Credit –YouTube)

The sixth instalment in the Final Destination film series, ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’, will be released in theatres on 16th May 2025. Ahead of the supernatural horror film’s theatrical release, the sequel has already received a critics’ score on the popular reviews aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.

Final Destination Bloodlines – Rotten Tomatoes Score

Let us tell you that Final Destination Bloodlines has sprung a surprise and received a brilliant critics’ score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 55 reviews so far, a rare feat for a horror film. It has also secured a user rating of 7.1/10 on IMDb. But how has the film fared compared to its predecessors on Rotten Tomatoes? Let’s find out.

Final Destination Bloodlines Vs Other Final Destination Films

With a 93% Rt score, Final Destination Bloodlines has now become the highest-rated installment of the Final Destination film series, which consists of six films.

Exclusive:Motion Picture Exchange (Mpx) is on the Croisette talking up Grizzly Night, a survival thriller that filmed with actual bears and recreates one of the most harrowing nights in US National Park Service history. Screen has obtained the first look.

Burke Doeren directs the feature by Utah-based Four J Films, which chronicles events of August 12, 1967, at Glacier National Park, when two 19-year-old women were attacked by grizzlies in separate incidents and Ranger Joan Devereux was called to lead rescue efforts. The grim episode resulted in the first bear-related fatalities in park history.

Doeren hired a bear handling team, and used helicopters during production,...

The initial unpredictability of the order and the overall knowledge of how death picked up its targets made the first few entries of the “Final Destination” series as worthy as that of a well-crafted suspense thriller, which had a ticking time bomb set to go off at any moment. It creates a dual tension – of the possibilities of an immediate death and the lack of an explanation as to who, how, or why. It is a metaphysical puzzle. And to top that, the audiences are also given a God-like perspective as they get to see the death trap being laid, which the characters themselves are not aware of.

But after the logic and the design of death is put forth, the game pretty much shifts to the unimaginably horrifying circumstances that can lead to gruesome and crushing fatality in airplanes, theme parks, expressways, shopping malls, barbeque parties, and cinema halls.

The universe, it seems, possesses a rather grim accountant, one with an unyielding penchant for balancing the books on human existence, especially for those audacious enough to smudge an entry. This meticulous, if macabre, ledger-keeper makes a grand re-entry after what feels like an eon in the rapidly decaying memory of pop culture with Final Destination: Bloodlines.

This is the sixth chapter in a saga dedicated to the proposition that Death is not merely an event but an artist of baroque, Rube-Goldbergian catastrophe. This time, the unseen force’s attention narrows, with an almost aristocratic focus, from the randomly fortunate to a specific lineage, a family tree whose every branch is marked for an exceptionally creative pruning. One anticipates a familiar canvas of visceral terror, splashes of uncomfortable mirth, and fatality sequences of a truly… imaginative bent.

The film arrives not as a mere echo of its forebears but with aspirations to graft new,...

If the defining tone of the most successful “Final Destination” films can be boiled down to “unsettling, but silly,” Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein’s “Final Destination Bloodlines” maintains that balance as well as any installment before it.

Fourteen years after “Final Destination 5” supposedly brought the horror franchise full circle, Lipovsky and Stein skillfully expand its scope to accommodate an interconnected universe where Death steadily attempts to reclaim victims across multiple generations. While a canonically satisfying sendoff to the late Tony Todd’s William Bludworth bolsters the series’ morbid gravitas, a cast of playful, mostly likable 20-somethings keep proceedings light in juxtaposition to the filmmakers’ fiendishly inventive kills.

After awaking from recurrent visions in which her grandmother Iris dies during the opening of a 1960s Space Needle-type landmark, Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) leaves college to address the relentless insomnia that’s wrecking her stellar academic career. Stefani’s...

Last year, Final Destination 6 (which is going by the title Final Destination: Bloodlines) finally, after years of development and a long year gap between sequels, made its way through production. Franchise producer Craig Perry previously let it be known that the film was aiming for a theatrical release in 2025, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. It will even be on IMAX screens! It was recently confirmed that Final Destination: Bloodlines is set to reach theatres this Friday. The directing duo of Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who previously directed the 2018 film Freaks (starring Emile Hirsch and Bruce Dern) and the 2019 live-action Kim Possible movie, were at the helm of this film – and during an interview with SFX magazine, Lipovsky said their hope is that the movie will throw viewers for a loop and keep them guessing because things play out in unpredictable ways.

I love Final Destination. In fact, for me the films make up the best horror franchise ever made. This might be a controversial opinion, but with five films in the series and no bad ones among them, I would challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

This passion was why I was trepidatious to attend the press screening of the 6th instalment, titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, especially as it has emerged 14 years after the last film. With so many horror reboots, reimaginings and regurgitations failing to mimic, capture or sometimes even understand what made the originals so amazing, I quite rightly feared the same for my beloved horror series.

Thankfully though, Bloodlines is a brilliant addition to the Final Destination collection, which has shockingly been running since the 2000 original Final Destination set the template for terror 25 years ago. If you have never seen one of these movies the set up is...

Death begins a new cycle in Final Destination Bloodlines, the sixth entry of the film series that’s known for its elaborate Rube Goldberg machine-style deaths. The catch here is that Death may be more ambitious than ever, aiming to snuff out an entire family’s bloodline after its matriarch evaded its grasp decades prior.

That presents clear shifts in the Final Destination formula, including an emphasis on its family theme and a dedication to lighthearted fun over palpable, drawn-out suspense. Death’s daunting ambition is more impressive in scope than in execution, though.

Bloodlines kicks off with the requisite inciting catastrophe that sees one woman, Iris (Brec Bassinger), embarking on an exciting new chapter of her life at the opening of the Skyview Restaurant Tower. What should be the happiest day of her life instead turns into a brutal nightmare when a chain of events, beginning with a small,...

Aren’t horror franchises supposed to get worse with each entry? Nah. We’re in a golden window for later-stage prequels and sequels. Indies like V/H/S/Beyond (7th entry) to backtracks like The First Omen are healing the stigma of a Jason Goes to Hell or Texas Chainsaw 3D. Here to offer its axe as the latest example for an inspiring trend is Final Destination Bloodlines, bringing Final Destination back to prominence with a bloody entertaining sequel fourteen years later.

Freaks (and Kim Possible) directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein take a risk on their lore-spanning continuation of Death’s favorite franchise. The Final Destination movies have relied on the cyclical motions of inescapable fates as illustrated by gruesome, Rube Goldbergian death sequences. Bloodlines’ screenplay, written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, is still that, but in a way that addresses every film. A tome is introduced,...

Stars: Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Ted Briones, Richard Harmon, Brec Bassinger, Tony Todd, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Gabrielle Rose | Written by Guy Busick, Lori Evans Taylor | Directed by Zach Lipovsky, Adam B. Stein

Co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth film in the popular Death-moves-in-mysterious-ways horror franchise, following the fifth instalment, back in 2011. As such, the directing duo are clearly fans of the series, because they deliver everything audiences could conceivably want from a sixth (and probably not final) Final Destination movie, even managing to give the mythology a satisfying little tweak in the process.

The time-honoured opening sequence takes place in the 1950s, where young Iris (Stargirl’s Brec Bassinger) finds herself in a horrific disaster at the top of a newly opened high-rise restaurant. At the moment of her death, the film cuts to the present day, and it transpires that college...

Most horror franchises enjoy longevity because they stick to a familiar formula: an unstoppable villain, a perennially haunted setting, or a sharp-tongued survivor for the audience to root for. But then, there's the "Final Destination" series, the rowdy cousin of the iconic maniacs we know and love who shows up without a mask, without a monster, and delivers a higher body count than any of our stalking slashers. The "Final Destination" movies don't need to rely on an easily marketable character that stays relevant through remakes, reimaginings, and hot sales on costumes at Spirit Halloween every spooky season, because its big bad is, well, Death. The fear of "Final Destination" is not rooted in a singular baddie to overcome, but the invisible, inevitable — and apparently obsessed with butchering ala Rube-Goldberg machines — entity that comes for us all — Death.

I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as a bad "Final Destination" film,...

As legacy horror franchises attempt to worm their way back into the public imagination with largely unsatisfying reboot-sequel hybrids, bringing characters old and new together, alarm bells should have been ringing at the prospect of a new Final Destination. With the exception of the second movie, where Ali Larter’s protagonist returned to co-lead and gave a crash course on how to cheat death, continuity has been restricted to Tony Todd cameos, the franchise’s overarching premise so easily adaptable that it didn’t exactly need to exist in a shared universe. Of course it did––the twist ending to the fifth installment, which revealed we’d been watching a stealth prequel to the first all along, was the biggest reminder––but more so than any other slasher, here was a long-running series where any entry could successfully function as its own standalone beast. The idea of transforming the series...

The high-rise restaurant disaster that kicks off “Final Destination Bloodlines” has a “Looney Tunes” quality to it that some critics will falsely pin on a single falling piano. Yes, there is a thousand-pound string instrument that comes crashing down several stories before flattening a bratty kid in a bow tie. But that’s just the cherry on top of a perfectly cartoonish opening to the best film this fiendish horror franchise from the 2000s has ever known. Delivering the most visually impressive, emotionally compelling, and quick witted “Final Destination” to date, co-directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein work wonders with a reboot that shouldn’t land nearly as well as it does.

Twenty-five years since Flight 180 failed to reach Paris, New Line’s freak accident series — infamous for its mass-casualty events and Rube Goldberg-inspired kill sequences — returns with an unconventional script written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans. Here,...

“What it’s about is making things surprising, but inevitable,” the late Stephen Sondheim told D.T. Max in a 2022 profile for The New Yorker. “That’s the great principle of all art that takes place in time.” For a quarter-century, the Final Destination series has operationalized and weaponized the spirit of this dictum to terrify audiences around the inevitability of death. Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein’s Bloodlines, its sixth entry and first in 14 years, finds frights and fun alike in a string of gory kills.

Paradoxically, the film unlocks new vitality within the franchise by largely adhering to a proven formula. Any given Final Destination film plays out like an inverted Mission: Impossible, where a loose plot connects centerpiece sequences of characters narrowly avoiding death. While the peril is similar, a small detail flips the result. Here, the Grim Reaper always wins.

There’s an odd comfort...

You don’t need Esp to know that Final Destination Bloodlines will start with a premonition. And this one’s a belter, eclipsing the plane crash (1), rollercoaster derailment (3), speedway crash (4) and suspension bridge collapse (5) that have previously acted as the franchise’s gory-glory curtain-raisers. Heck, it perhaps even rivals the second instalment’s Route 2 pile-up that made driving behind a logging truck such a no-no for all right-minded motorists.

The precog carnage this time takes place atop a soaring, needle-thin tower not unlike the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, as revellers in the sky-view restaurant stomp their stuff to a band playing ‘Shout’. Iris (Brec Bassinger) is the one being ‘treated’ to a preview, as a rogue coin flung by a bratty kid kickstarts Death’s signature Rube Goldberg routine: champagne corks pop, drums thud, chandeliers tremor, rivets spring, heels scrape, the glass floor cracks, and… well, by the time this...

IFC Entertainment Group Has Its Biggest Opening Weekend Ever With Clown In A Cornfield: "IFC Entertainment Group had its biggest opening weekend box office success ever with the release of Eli Craig’s Clown In A Cornfield, which grossed $3.6 million at the U.S. box office.

Over the weekend, mothers and mother figures were celebrated with chocolates, flowers, and cards. But in one movie theater, they may have been more inclined to cut ties with their loved ones rather than pull them into an embrace. As part of the final promo push for Final Destination: Bloodlines, the film hosted a screening event that saw folks turn up with the mothers in their lives to see a newly released rom-com. The twist? Once the lights went down and the film began to roll, what they watched instead was a first look at the latest installment in the beloved horror franchise. Showing off their devilish handiwork, the marketing team put together a reel showcasing the mothers before, during, and after the film. While some were less than pleased with what they were forced to witness, many came out rejuvenated with a love for horror and had nothing but...

The summer movie season is officially upon us. Marvel's "Thunderbolts" ushered in the summer box office with a big-but-not-huge debut. Unfortunately, Hollywood left the second weekend of May largely devoid of big new releases. Mercifully, we won't have to wait long for the next blockbuster to arrive as Warner Bros. has "Final Destination Bloodlines" coming our way next weekend. The good news is that it looks to be another hit for the horror genre and WB. The even better news? People might be underestimating just how big this movie could be.

Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, "Bloodlines" is currently looking at a debut in the $28 to $35 million range at the domestic box office, per Box Office Theory. That would be killer, as it would put it on track to have the biggest opening in the history of the "Final Destination" franchise. Currently, 2009's "The Final Destination," which...

Death has been on vacation since Final Destination 5 – 14 years to be exact – and if we’re being honest, the grim reaper needed the break. At that point, the franchise’s formula became tiresome as some wiseguy would get a vision about an impending doom, save themselves and a few others, then try and avoid the hangman’s noose for the remaining 90 minutes. Final Destination Bloodlines doesn’t provide a radical overhaul to this formula, still utilizing the same Rube Goldberg machine approach for innovative deaths while the folks attempt to delay the inevitable, but it dives deeper into the story and proposes an original what-if scenario. Resultantly, it’s the boost that the franchise desperately needed to reinvigorate itself and move forward. Spare a thought for Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana). As a college student, she can’t sleep – and no, it isn’t because of partying or studying hard. She...

Last year, Final Destination 6 (which is going by the title Final Destination: Bloodlines) finally, after years of development and a long year gap between sequels, made its way through production. Franchise producer Craig Perry previously let it be known that the film was aiming for a theatrical release in 2025, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. It will even be on IMAX screens! It was recently confirmed that Final Destination: Bloodlines is set to reach theatres on May 16, 2025, and a teaser trailer and a full trailer (embedded above) have both been unveiled. And for the next ten days, the release of the film is going to be promoted by a blood-splattered logging truck that will be prowling the streets on Ontario and Quebec.

The marketing team for Final Destination Bloodlinesis doing its best to hype the upcoming film. The unconventional promo can best be described as giving drivers a classic fright.

As seen in a video shared by the official Bloody Disgusting X account, a box truck can be seen hauling a bundle of logs atop promo banners for Final Destination Bloodlines. The footage, originally posted to TikTok by user @rhyszxc, is a callback to the iconic setup from Final Destination 2, in which a log truck causes the film's horrifying initial disaster.

Last November, we heard the heartbreaking news that genre icon Tony Todd had passed away at the age of 69. Thankfully, we still have some Todd performances to look forward to, as he had worked on several projects that were in post-production when he passed, including Final Destination: Bloodlines, which will be reaching theatres on May 16th. Todd reprises the role of mortician Bludworth, a role he previously played in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5 – and when the first reactions to the new film recently made their way online, several of them said this sequel stands as a tribute to Todd. Now, a promotional featurette has been unveiled that focuses entirely on Todd and his character Bludworth, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Usually, when a horror film breaks a record during production, it’s for something like the amount of fake blood used, but Final Destination: Bloodlines has set a surprising new benchmark—it features the oldest person ever to be set on fire on camera. I can’t say I saw that coming.

“We lit so many different people on fire, including breaking the world record for oldest person on fire with Yvette Ferguson, who did that full body burn in the silver dress,” Bloodlines co-director Zach Lipovsky told Entertainment Weekly. “That was the oldest person ever on fire, on camera.“

Ferguson, a retired stuntwoman and actress, was coaxed out of retirement at 71 to take on the role of Mrs. Fuller. The stunt team has even contacted Guinness World Records about her fiery feat, although they’re still waiting to hear back.

Death comes for us all, no matter the age.

Final Destination Bloodlines broke the world record for oldest person set on fire on camera, with 71-year-old stunt performer Yvette Ferguson coming out of retirement for the full-body burn.

“We lit so many different people on fire, including breaking the world record for oldest person on fire with Yvette Ferguson, who did that full body burn in the silver dress,” Zach Lipovsky, who co-directs with Adam Stein, told EW. “That was the oldest person ever on fire, on camera.”

The film’s stunt team reached out to Guinness World Records to officially submit the feat for consideration, but they have not yet heard back.

Ferguson plays Mrs. Fuller, who’s immolated in film’s 1960s-set opening sequence. Iris, a young woman on a date at a restaurant atop a 400-foot-tall tower, has a deadly promotion in which the crowded building collapses.

Should you choose to book a date with death and see "Final Destination Bloodlines" when it arrives in theaters, be sure to take a moment to appreciate Yvette Ferguson, who quite literally lights up the screen in one of the most significant and dangerous sequences ever included in the "Final Destination" franchise. Sure, the iconic log truck pile-up might still stick with fans after all these years, and "Final Destination 5" might have one of the most compelling death sequences, but Ferguson's time to shine should stand out more than most, given that her contribution may have earned her a world record for being the oldest person ever to be fully set on fire for a film.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Zach Lipovsky revealed that during one scene involving multiple people being lit up, among them was 71-year-old Ferguson, a former stunt person who came out of retirement for the film.

A brand-new clip from Final Destination Bloodlines has finally dropped, featuring horror legend Tony Todd in his final appearance as William Bludworth. This comes less than a year after the Candyman actor passed away at the age of 69.

The video, shared by the IGN YouTube channel, provides Final Destination fans with a sneak peek of the meeting between mortician William Bludworth and the latest targets of Death's curse. Just like the previous installments, Bludworth gives them the set of rules they need to follow to survive Death's brutal traps. These include killing someone in order to steal the remaining years of their lives, or by dying in order to break the cycle.

Todd's character was first introduced in the 2000 Devon Sawa-led Final Destination, where he explained the strange phenomenon plaguing the survivors of a plane crash. Since then, Bludworth has been a staple throughout the franchise. Final Destination...
