Death comes for us all, but when it comes for the hapless bastards in this late sequel, at least it’ll be pretty funny.
How to Watch Final Destination: Bloodlines in New Zealand
Final Destination: Bloodlines is now playing in New Zealand cinemas.
What is Final Destination: Bloodlines about?
Oh, come on now—you know this one. Coming some 14 years after the last film in the Final Destination franchise, Final Destination 5, Final Destination: Bloodlines sees Stefani, a college student, haunted by visions of death for her family, her friends, and herself, and trying to track down a way to (*yawn*) break the curse. But the twist is she’s seeing premonitions that her grandmother Iris also saw back in 1968. That’s a new wrinkle, but the rest is pretty standard: a group of people escape certain death, only for death to come for them in a variety of creative and gruesome ways, which is the fun part.
The cast of Final Destination: Bloodlines
Lining up for the next life, we have Kaitlyn Santa Juana as Stefani Reyes; Teo Briones as Charlie, her younger brother; Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Anna Lore as Erik, Bobby, and Julia Campbell, Stefani’s cousins and probable cannon fodder; Rya Kihlstedt as Darlene Campbell, Stefani’s mother and Iris’s daughter; and Gabrielle Rose as Iris Campbell, Stefani’s grandmother, with Brec Bassinger as the younger version.
Plus we have the late and legendary Tony Todd, who is returning as William Bludworth, funeral director and quite possibly the Angel of Death in human form. Sadly, the leaden-voiced star of The Crow, Candyman, and countless other genre greats (and not so greats—the man was a worker) passed away in November, making this his final film to be released.

Why we’re excited about Final Destination: Bloodlines
“What if Rube Goldberg was death?” is a concept that never gets old.
