After a fourteen-year absence, the iconic Final Destination series is making a grand return this weekend with the debut of Final Destination: Bloodlines. This sixth entry stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana as a college student who finds herself ensnared in a harrowing family curse that bestows upon her terrifying premonitions of imminent fatalities. What makes this chapter particularly intriguing is its novel twist: the fatal legacy now hunts the descendants of those who evaded a catastrophic event from decades past, injecting a refreshing angle into the franchise’s well-known narrative.
Helmed by directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, recognized for their indie hit Freaks, which captivated viewers during the pandemic, this new installment has garnered enthusiasm from critics, who are dubbing it possibly the best in the franchise’s history. With a solid studio budget supporting their creative vision, they’ve designed a chilling experience filled with spectacularly gruesome deaths—an exciting addition that fans will undoubtedly want to check out alongside our recent countdown of the franchise’s “greatest kills,” published just yesterday.
In an insightful discussion today with Nova Play, our own Jimmy O had the opportunity to engage with the cast, including Rya Kihlstedt, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, and peers Richard Harmon, Anna Lore, and Owen Patrick Joyner. They explored their teamwork in creating the film. Moreover, we also had a chance to connect with directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, who provided valuable insights into their creative journey and ambitions for this exciting new installment.
Anticipation is high as Final Destination: Bloodlines prepares to grace theaters this Friday, and fans should stay tuned for our forthcoming review upon its release!
