A new generation is about to be traumatized.
Get ready to have several new fears unlocked, courtesy of Final Destination Bloodlines, the latest entry in the blockbuster franchise about trying (and often failing) to outrun death. Like its predecessors, the upcoming film follows an ensemble desperate to avoid a grisly end, after managing to escape the clutches of Death thanks to one person’s premonition.
But instead of a group of friends or survivors of a massive disaster, Bloodlines delivers on the promise of its title by centering a single family.
“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,” reads the official synopsis.

‘Final Destination Bloodlines’
As the trailer reveals, the story begins when one woman escapes a disaster meant to kill her — and many others — before going on to start a family. But she soon learns that Death is persistent.
“Death is coming for us because we were never supposed to exist,” her grandchildren come to realize.
The newest chapter in New Line Cinema’s bloody franchise isn’t without a few blasts from the pasts: along with a few sneaky callbacks to prior films, Bloodlines features the late horror legend Tony Todd making his final big screen appearance as his recurring franchise character William Bludworth.
As always, he offers insightful yet ominous advice to Death’s latest victims: “Only by embracing death will it pass you by.”
The latest Final Destination also boasts even more creative death scenes, often triggered by an elaborate series of events. In other words, prepare to add “glass shards in glass” to your list of fears, right beside “death by logs” and “laser eye surgery gone wrong.”
