And finally, This guy,
Yes, i’mmon the people who have seen the film and while I can’t give it a full review just yet, having Recently rewatched and ranked the first five filmsI stand by what I said. It’s the best of the bunch. Bloodlines Does exactly what i wanted from a Final Destination Movie: It was super entertaining, filled with hilarious, inventive, gross kills, but it also also tweaks things Ever so slightly without bremula, keeping you toes the inter. Plus, the whole idea of ββa family being the Victim Reshapes Your Idea of ββthe Franchise in Some Notworthy Ways. We want say more than that.
Starring Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Tony Todd in Possibly His Final Performance, Final Destination: Bloodlines Opeens May 16.
