'Gore is back, baby!' Directors of 'Final Destination' are pushing bloody boundaries
Briefly

The long-awaited sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise, titled Bloodlines, is now out 25 years after the original film. Co-directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein shared insights into reviving this iconic series. The film maintains the classic formula of premonitions leading to tragic deaths, festering a sense of inevitable doom. This installment introduces a familial twist where the main character's grandmother previously evaded Death, setting up new stakes for surviving family members. The thrilling suspense comes from creatively conceptualized death sequences, redefining how death is portrayed in horror, focusing on cinematic artistry instead of typical slasher tropes.
For directors Lipovsky and Stein, creating suspense is part of the fun, as each death scene represents a unique opportunity, ultimately embodying 'death by filmmaking.'
The title, Final Destination Bloodlines, implies danger for the characters since their existence disrupts Death's plan, adding a familial element rarely explored in the series.
