More about Final Destination: Bloodlines

Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth main entry in the long-running horror franchise and the first since 2011’s Final Destination 5. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, the 2025 film follows Stefani Reyes, a college student plagued by visions of a deadly tower collapse.

As she reconnects with estranged family members and uncovers a disturbing truth tied to her grandmother’s past, Stefani becomes entangled in the franchise’s recurring theme, death reclaiming those who were never meant to survive. The film introduces the idea of inherited survival, expanding the franchise’s original premise by adding a generational element.

The plot centers on Stefani uncovering that her family’s existence defied death’s design after her grandmother prevented a fatal event in 1968. As relatives begin dying in elaborate accidents, the story weaves through themes of fate, survival, and consequence.

With both CGI and practical effects, Final Destination: Bloodlines leans into spectacle, continuing the franchise’s tradition of unpredictable, chain-reaction horror.

While a few reviewers pointed out that the script leaned on franchise tropes, many praised the execution of the death sequences and Tony Todd’s final turn as William Bludworth. Notably, this instalment marks the end of Todd’s involvement with the series, with all his scenes completed before his passing in late 2024.

Production began in Vancouver and experienced delays due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Despite this, the team completed filming by May 2024. A viral marketing campaign, featuring re-creations of iconic franchise setups, helped generate buzz, and a limited early screening boosted anticipation.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is positioned to be a standout theatrical release when it opens on May 16, 2025.
