'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Hits Hard: Death Returns — and It Has a Family Tree

Kaitlyn Santa Juana

Gore, legacy, and one chilling farewell to Tony Todd.

The sixth film in the Final Destination franchise, Bloodlines (2025), is more than just a revival — it’s a cleverly structured prequel-sequel hybrid that digs into the eerie mythology behind Death’s design. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, the story follows Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) as she uncovers a generational curse rooted in a deadly 1968 incident.

With elaborate set-piece deaths, a sharp young cast (including Teo Briones and Richard Harmon), and a haunting final performance by franchise icon Tony Todd, the film delivers exactly the kind of beautifully calibrated chaos fans have come to expect.

Filmed in Vancouver and brimming with tension, Bloodlines opened to a thunderous $51 million at the U.S. box office and crossed $100 million globally within its first weekend — a franchise record. Despite its R-rated gore and trademark creative kills, critics have praised its surprisingly tight storytelling and emotional stakes, awarding it a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Available now in cinemas, the film has sparked fresh rumours about a potential Final Destination 7. And with audiences still intrigued by how Death plays the long game, it wouldn’t be surprising if the next chapter is already quietly being written.
