Final Destination: Bloodlines

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a fun night out for people who like this kind of thing, and I am one of those people. After the original run petered out with the last couple it’s easily the best since FD3 (the original still being the only one that really works as more than a series of fun “accidental” killing scenes) with the best opening slaughter since the much referenced high point of FD2, one setpiece so fun they used it as the first trailer and that persuaded me to come back, a great little funny secondary kill, and a touching bow by Tony Todd. I’m not sure we needed an origin for his character, especially in a series that’s never considered explaining the premonitions it hinges on, but having him write his parting lines was a lovely touch.
