Final Destination Bloodlines Early Reviews Are Here
Those who have attended the screenings have called it a glorious return. The Final Destination’s first film arrived in 2000, and since then, the franchise has been known for its brutal kills. Now that the sixth film is here, critics have praised the modern elements that don’t let the essence of the horror property fade in Final Destination: Bloodlines.
A film critic named Elliot Lines took it to his X account and wrote, ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines breaks the mould of its predecessors, giving a fresh feel to the franchise. But most of all, it still delivers on the gruesome deaths, which balance well with a comedic undertone. Seeing it in a crowded cinema was awesome!
Another critic from Rotten Tomatoes says “Final Destination: Bloodlines is so much freaking fun! The best one since the first with gnarly deaths & a likable cast (Erik ❤️). What an ending! Final Destination fans we are so back! Blood, gore, & a perfect goodbye to Tony Todd.”
John Nguyen, an approved critic and a cinema fanatic, posted on X that reads, “Final Destination: Bloodlines is a bloody good time & brings me back to the deadly & tense moments that the franchise is known for. The family aspect brings a more emotional punch. Now I’m cautious once again as I look around my surroundings. Damn this movie for making me paranoid.”
Apart from the plot, critics discuss Tony Tudd’s appearance as William Bludworth, the actor’s final performance before his passing in 2024. An X user called Night Shroud posted, “The theater erupted in cheers during his scenes.”
Well, it’s too early to look for the ratings on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, but as the critics have called it the best in the franchise, we can expect it to sit with the highest ratings on the platforms in the coming days.
