First Reactions To FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES Surface and Audiences Love the Bloody Mayhem!
Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema recnetly held a screening for Final Destination: Bloodlines that was hoisted by Fangoria, and I’ve gotta say… this movie was a freakin’ riot!
The first reactions for the film have surfaced online and the fans and critics who were in attendance at the screening all loved it! I thought is was an blast, and it takes audiences on one hell of a wild and bloody ride!
Some of the other people are saying its a “Frightening nightmare of factor of gleeful gore”, a “gloriously bloody symphony of horror”, “Nasty wicked fun”, and “A must watch on the biggest freakin’ screen with a crowd!”
In the film, “Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.”
This is a franchise that I’ve enjoyed watching over the years. All of the films have delivered horrifically fun entertainment, and I’m looking forward to seeing what this next film delivers.
The horror franchise is being resurrected by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks), who are directing from a script written by Lori Evans Taylor (Wicked Wicked Games) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.
The cast includes Teo Briones (Chucky), Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game), Richard Harmon (Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor).
Late horror legend Tony Todd also returns as William Bludworth. This film serves as a wonderful tribute to him.
Check out the reaction below and let us know what you think! The movie is set to hit theaters on May 16, 2025.

#FinalDestinationBloodlines is a splatterrific blast! A fun, frightening nightmare factory of gleeful gore. Sharp Rube Goldberg death traps perfectly finesse tension, dark comedy & blood-drenched carnage. Easily a franchise fave. #FinalDestination #Bloodlines @newlinecinema pic.twitter.com/Js8W1LpU71

I think #finaldestinationbloodlines is the best FD film since 2! It’s a gloriously bloody symphony of horror; Zach Lipovsky & Adam B. Stein absolutely nail the tone, & the kills are crazy & wicked. It’s also a genuinely touching farewell to Tony Todd. Don’t die before you see it! pic.twitter.com/ir6x2M6WHq

#FinalDestinationBloodlines is nasty, wicked, fun. The self-awareness and insanity of dealing with Death chasing you down that leads to great character dynamics and chemistry, but most importantly - gory kills.

Amusingly gory and self aware, with a hospital set piece for the ages, #FinalDestination #Bloodlines gives off major FD2 vibes as it embraces an investigative narrative and a nasty sense of violent humour. Fans will eat this up! Big, bloody, fun! pic.twitter.com/cR2zbYnPQ2

The franchise really takes its extremely brutal deaths to an entirely different level.#Bloodlines has a very unique hook that should satisfy audiences & lifelong fans, while the family dynamic is a wonderful addition. pic.twitter.com/ZhRNnC7uP9

FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES is one of the most diabolical and mean-spirited entries of the franchise. It's got some utterly absurd Looney Tunes-level kills.

It's often too self-referential and unserious to the point of parody, though. Best experienced with a packed crowd 🍿 pic.twitter.com/Y1SDJMSG8I
. #FinalDestination: Bloodlines 🩸Must-Watch on the freaking biggest screen with a crowd !!! 😱Absolutely Anxiety-inducing, wildly traumatizing and yet insanely creative deaths.
