Breathing new life into horror franchise

Honours legacy and adds to lore

- 

Other than its awful fourth outing, the Final Destination franchise has been one of horror’s most consistently entertaining.

But it’s been 14 years since the surprisingly good fifth flick, so can Bloodlines resurrect the series in splattery style?

Plagued by a recurring violent nightmare, college student Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) returns home to find the one person who can break the cycle and save her family from the horrific fate that awaits them.

Co-directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (2018's Freaks) fully embrace the over-the-top, otherworldly nature of the series, while the trio of writers effectively add to the storyline lore.
