Death's Origin Story? Final Destination Bloodlines Trailer Takes Us Way Back
We all know the drill with Final Destination movies right? Someone cheats death in a big disaster and then death gets seriously ticked off and starts picking them off one by one in increasingly creative and gruesome ways. But Final Destination Bloodlines seems to be adding a new twist. This movie is diving into the very origin of death's twisted game.
The trailer hints that this time the deaths are linked to a family bloodline going back decades maybe even 50 or 60 years! It looks like a grandma was supposed to die way back when but somehow survived and now death is coming for her whole family generations later. Creepy right? This new angle is pretty smart because it not only ups the scare factor for this movie but it also opens up a whole bunch of possibilities for future films maybe even period piece Final Destination movies. Imagine death chasing people in the 1920s!
From the trailer we are seeing all sorts of classic Final Destination style mayhem. Think natural disasters everyday accidents turned deadly and that feeling that absolutely nowhere is safe. Directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky seem to have found a good balance between the classic Final Destination formula and adding some fresh scares and story twists.

It will be emotional to see him back in this role one last time.
