In 'Final Destination Bloodlines', ordinary objects are transformed into deadly tools through complex, comedic sequences reminiscent of Rube Goldberg machines. The film intends to appeal to both horror fans and those who may enjoy humor, allowing audiences to laugh amidst the chaos. Key scenes include a seemingly routine family barbecue that hints at impending doom and the clever use of everyday items creating fatal mishaps. The balance of suspense and wit provides a unique horror experience, increasing engagement and amusement for viewers on its release date of May 16.
A family barbecue starts off happily, but then we see the spiked rake lodged just under the trampoline, and the huge glass shard in the blender. Someone will die. But who, and how?
Just as important are the non-deaths - the times you're sure something terrible will happen, but it doesn't. I found this silly phrase scrawled later on my notepad: 'Actually he doesn't die.'
Turns out, horror films are a lot easier to handle when they're funny. Even more so when they're witty. A spoonful of wit, as Mary Poppins might say, helps the bloody mayhem go down.
But in Final Destination Bloodlines, as in the entire 25-year franchise, ordinary objects become fearsome tools of murderous mayhem.
