Stein<\/a> revived the series with <em>Final Destination: Bloodlines<\/em>, a modern update that instantly became the series\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/franchise\/fr3595013893\/\">number-one all-time box-office earner<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The new movie \u2014\u00a0once again, about death as a vindictive force actively stalking people who survived a fated calamity \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/horror\/599421\/final-destination-bloodlines-directors-interview-special-imax-version\">echoes the filmmaking of the older installments<\/a>, while adding a new twist. This time around, one of the survivors of the original accident lived long enough to have kids and grandkids she couldn\u2019t have had if she\u2019d died young, so death comes after them as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Lipovsky and Stein told Polygon in a recent conversation that part of the <em>Bloodlines <\/em>dynamic is a stronger emotional connection between the audience and the cast. Stein says watching a family collaborating to fight off death, rather than the franchise\u2019s usual friend group or collection of strangers, \u201cmakes the movie a lot more complex and interesting, because you really end up caring a lot.\u201d He says the way the central family grieves as they\u2019re picked off one by one gives them \u201cextra depth and emotional relatability,\u201d and a heightened sense of urgency as they try to protect each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That said, he and Lipovsky acknowledge that the familial plot twists, in terms of who is and isn\u2019t on the chopping block (or the crushing block, or the \u201celaborate Rube Goldberg deathtrap\u201d block), have left fans of the series with two big questions. And they want fans to understand the movie\u2019s logic in terms of who lives and who dies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">[<strong>Ed. note: <\/strong>Major spoilers ahead for <em>Final Destination: Bloodlines<\/em>.]<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe title=\"Final Destination Bloodlines Movie Clip - Death Came Back (2025)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dpn_1A2mE-M?rel=0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In the movie\u2019s version of 1968, a young woman named Iris (Brec Bassinger) has a premonition about a new skyscraper restaurant collapsing due to shoddy workmanship. In the process, it kills everyone who\u2019s present for its gala opening-night event, including her, her fianc\u00e9 Paul, and their unborn child. Iris alerts everyone to the danger, and gets them out of the restaurant tower before it collapses. She goes on to live a long life, having two children, Howard and Darlene, who eventually have their own kids: Howard\u2019s are Erik, Julia, and Bobby, and Darlene\u2019s are Charlie and Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana, <em>Bloodlines<\/em>\u2019 primary protagonist). But Iris alienates her entire family with her unhinged predictions of doom stalking the family, and winds up estranged from her descendants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When Stefani, a present-day college student, starts having horrific visions mirroring Iris\u2019 1968 premonition, she investigates her own bloodline, ultimately reconnecting with her grandmother Iris (now played by Gabrielle Rose), who has spent her life learning how to evade the kinds of bizarre, unlikely coincidences death uses to claim victims in the Final Destination movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Since death only goes after its fated prey in the order they were supposed to die, Iris managing to stay alive via isolation and paranoia has kept Stefani and her family safe. But when Iris surrenders to her fate, death comes after her family one by one. Howard is first up, since he\u2019s the oldest. Then death comes for all his children, in order from oldest to youngest, with Darlene and her kids next in line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Except\u2026&nbsp;while Howard\u2019s oldest son Erik (Richard Harmon) faces a bizarre, unlikely chain of events (pun intended) in the tattoo shop where he works, it\u2019s followed by an even more unlikely reveal. Warner Bros. released his brush with death as a teaser trailer:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe title=\"Final Destination Bloodlines | Official Teaser Trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KnWzz0n60pE?rel=0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">And yet (again, spoilers ahead), as revealed later in the film, Erik survived that accident almost completely unhurt, protected from the fire and glass by his leather jacket. His escape from death causes Stefani to question whether everything she learned from Iris was just a paranoid delusion. But Howard\u2019s wife Brenda (April Amber Telek) tearfully admits that Erik isn\u2019t actually Howard\u2019s child, and was the result of an affair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That seems to put Erik outside of Iris\u2019 doomed bloodline. But he later dies anyway, in a<em> different<\/em> complicated, ridiculous, horrendously gory accident. So fans have wondered: Why did death go after him? Stein says the answer comes from longstanding Final Destination franchise stalwart William Bludworth, the mortician played by <em>Candyman <\/em>star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/horror\/599677\/tony-todd-final-destinations-bloodlines-post-credits-scene-goodbye\">Tony Todd<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cTony says it: when you fuck with death, things get messy,\u201d Stein told Polygon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThat&#8217;s right,\u201d Lipovsky says. \u201cThat was our answer to that question. Right after he dies, that&#8217;s the first line \u2014 \u2018Why did he die?\u2019 And Kaitlyn\u2019s character [echoes Bludworth]: \u2018When you fuck with death, things get messy.\u2019 I think that&#8217;s a very good lesson for everyone to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In this case, \u201cfucking with death\u201d means the way Erik tries to interfere on behalf of his brother Bobby (Owen Patrick Joyner), trying to \u201ctrick\u201d death and avert Bobby\u2019s fate by momentarily stopping his heart in a hospital, where he can be immediately resurrected. As Stein and Lipovsky note, death is an active, seemingly intelligent force in the Final Destination series, and it\u2019s well aware when someone\u2019s trying to escape or thwart it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe title=\"Final Destination Bloodlines | Official Trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UWMzKXsY9A4?rel=0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But Stein also thinks death has a dark sense of humor. \u201cThe other big question is, why does death hook Erik in the tattoo parlor, when he&#8217;s not next?\u201d he says. \u201cWe always liked the idea that death has a sense of playfulness. Just like a fisherman might catch a fish without intending to kill it, and they&#8217;ll hook the fish and then throw \u2019em back, that&#8217;s exactly what death is doing with Eric in that tattoo parlor scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That bleak horror-comedy element, Stein says, is what makes the Final Destination movies distinctive. \u201cThe thing that makes [<em>Bloodlines<\/em>] richer as a viewing experience is that in the previous movies, you end up rooting for death more than you end up rooting for the characters, because death is so clever, the way he works. His Rube Goldberg magic is so much fun to watch. It&#8217;s full of irony and surprises. We wanted to retain that, and really milk all these deaths for all the fun dark comedy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cBut you&#8217;re also rooting for the characters, and not wanting them to die. So it gives you both levels of experience at the same time. That really makes it a more complete, more interesting, fun viewing experience for the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-polygon wp-block-embed-polygon\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"iframely-embed\">\n<div class=\"iframely-responsive\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/horror\/599677\/tony-todd-final-destinations-bloodlines-post-credits-scene-goodbye\" data-iframely-url=\"https:\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/api\/iframe?maxheight=750&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polygon.com%2Fhorror%2F599677%2Ftony-todd-final-destinations-bloodlines-post-credits-scene-goodbye&#038;key=ff2ced3d1b51f7e6c5a2c62b5be4eb3d\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/horror\/602031\/final-destination-bloodlines-ending-explained-directors-spoilers-erik-death\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly 15 years after the previous movie in the Final Destination horror franchise, Freaks writer-directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B.
