Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025) is the sixth installment in the long-running horror franchise and introduces a fresh twist to the classic formula. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, the film centers on the concept that Death is no longer just after survivors of tragic accidents—it’s now targeting their descendants. The story begins in 1969, when Iris Campbell narrowly escapes a deadly tower collapse by having a premonition and saving a group of people. Decades later, her granddaughter Stefani Reyes begins experiencing similar visions and learns that Death is systematically hunting down Iris’s bloodline in the same order as the original near-death event. As her family members start dying in increasingly elaborate and gruesome ways—from a lawnmower mishap to a garbage compactor accident—Stefani teams up with her brother Charlie and others to try and break the cycle. They consult the mysterious William Bludworth, who suggests that reviving a dead person might disrupt Death’s plan, but their attempt ends in failure and more deaths. The film culminates in a harrowing sequence at Iris’s old cabin, where Stefani and Charlie momentarily think they’ve cheated fate—only to be killed in a brutal train derailment in the final twist. With a mix of nostalgia, inventive kill scenes, and a generational storyline, Bloodlines reinvigorates the franchise while honoring its roots.
