Critical and Audience Praise Makes Bloodlines a Franchise First
The film is the sixth entry in the long-running Final Destination series, but it is the first to win over both critics and viewers at the same time. It scored a 93% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences weren’t far off, giving it an 87%. That kind of reception is rare for a franchise this deep in, especially one known more for creative deaths than critical love.
Bloodlines, which was released in theaters back in May with a $50 million budget, pulled in a massive $285.3 million at the global box office, per Box Office Mojo. It got a Blu-ray release on July 22, which was packaged with a full collection of all six films, complete with bonus content.
This sequel, directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, came over a decade after the last installment in 2011. The gap was not part of the plan as the project faced years of delays before finally getting made.
FInal Destination Bloodlines Plot Summary
The Final Destination series has always leaned into the idea of people trying and failing to dodge death. Unlike your usual masked slasher, there is no physical killer here. Instead, it has an invisible force, quietly setting off events that lead to deadly accidents. The setup might be familiar, but Bloodlines throws a new twist into the formula.
The story centers on Stephani, a college student played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana, who has been having strange dreams about her grandparents dying in a building collapse, per CBR. She heads back to her hometown, looking for answers. There, her grandmother tells her something disturbing , that the dream is not a dream at all, but an old premonition. What follows pulls Stephani into a deeper family mystery, one where lives that should never have existed are now on death’s list.
The cast includes Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Rya Kihlstedt, Brec Bassinger, and Tony Todd. All the familiar tension and strange near-deaths return, but this time, it is tied to bloodlines that were never meant to continue.
Final Destination Bloodlines is streaming now on Max.
