The New Movie in One of Our Oldest, Dumbest Horror Franchises Is Actually … Great?
59% Informative
The six -movie (so far) series started with 2000 ’s Final Destination and continues after a nearly 14-year break this weekend with Final Destination: Bloodlines .
The first five Final Destination movies have earned an international box-office gross of (you can’t make this up) $666 million .
Bloodlines is a movie with awareness of the franchise’s fervent fan base.
It seeks to expand the mythology to a degree that no previous sequel has done.
The underlying inevitability to the proceedings is at odds with the suspense we expect from horror movies.
Most affecting is the lingering presence of Tony Todd , who is perhaps best known for his titular role in the Candyman .
