The horror saga is reborn : Final destination | bloodlines 💀
I've always been a fan of the Final Destination series. For me, these movies have had a big impact on my life because they show such absurd and strange deaths that I developed new fears. I always remember the scene with the logging truck that causes a huge accident, which made me afraid of big trucks in front of me on the highway, or the scene where they're doing eye surgery and death appears. This scene in particular made me give up on having surgery for my myopia when I had the chance, ha ha ha. It's crazy, but I'm a person who lives in fear of death and imagines scenarios as absurd as those presented in the Final Destination series. I recently had the opportunity to see the latest installment of this saga, and I wasn't too excited to see it since the last Final Destination movies were a bit disappointing. Although we can't expect too much from a plot that is clear from the beginning and always repeats the same formula, that is the essence of Final Destination: death simply comes sooner or later, and if you are destined to die, you cannot stop it.

One of the things I like most about this series is that it also has a touch of humor. Seeing Death at work in such macabre ways fits perfectly with the irony and dark humor, and this latest installment is no exception, I have to say that I really liked it this movie. It all begins, as always, with an accident in which many people die. This time, the setting is a huge futuristic tower in the 1960s. The accident starts with a coin and ends with the tower collapsing completely. Even those who manage to get out in time are not saved, as their fate was obviously to die. But then we find out that everything we saw before was a dream, and we return to the present day where we meet Stefanie, a college girl who has been unable to sleep for months because she has this nightmare every night. This has affected her academic performance, and she decides she must find answers to end this cycle of nightmares. Stefanie goes home with her family, and there we learn that her grandmother (who appeared in her dreams) is estranged from the family, and they don't want to talk about her because she went “crazy.” Stefanie decides to find out where her grandmother is, and that's when the real terror begins.
Although the same formula is repeated, death after death, in this film we see something different: death takes an entire family. Stefanie's grandmother managed to save many lives on the day she had that accident, many lives that should have been lost that day continued in this world, with families, grandchildren, and normal lives. However, we are told that one by one they died. Death took time to arrive because there were too many survivors from that day. It took years until Stefanie had that crazy dream that led her to her grandmother's house, where, in a desperate attempt to warn her granddaughter and her entire family, she died after years of being locked up to keep herself safe and prevent her entire family from dying. The grandmother's death triggers the death of everyone else, one by one, even those who try to interfere with the plans of destiny.
I thought this movie was good, I really liked the characters, and the deaths were a bit unpredictable at times because they made you think something was going to happen, but it turned out to be something completely different. We were even sure that one of the characters would die second, but it turned out that he wasn't even on the “death list,” which was pretty funny.
Perhaps the only thing I could complain about is that in some scenes they overdid the CGI effects to create the deaths. I know it's necessary to make it look realistic, but sometimes it looks so computerized that it takes you out of the story a bit. In some deaths, there was too much blood, as if they had killed three people at once, haha.
Something that surprised me when I finished the movie was a dedication to actor Tony Todd, who died last year. I didn't know about his death, and besides that, when I saw him on screen, I felt like he had already been in that movie, but he looked so different that I had trouble recognizing that he had always been present in all the Final Destination movies. When I realized it, I was excited to see a character who has been a recurring figure in this saga appearing in this latest installment, and also to get a little context about how he is involved in all this. And it's quite curious how he said goodbye to the movie as if he were really saying goodbye to everyone, thus leaving his last appearance in these movies and also leaving a little nostalgia in those of us who saw him act in different films. Rest in peace.
⭐ Yo le doy un 4.5 de 5
Final Destination: Blood lines is a film that respects its roots and also tells us several stories in one, involving family relationships and typical problems that are overshadowed by death, which seeks to wipe them all out because they should never have existed. It is full of crazy deaths, but it still has that essence of making you think of a thousand ways to die, and there are also moments where you can laugh a little. Don't expect to be scared, just prepare yourself mentally and know that no one escapes death; your destiny is written from the moment you are born.
Para mi a este punto ya es como las muertes que salen en SAW, solamente que no hay alguien detrás de esas muertes. Por lo que siento que debieron crear una historia en la que pudiese culminar de alguna forma para que acabase bien o mal. Hasta ahora no nos han explicado del porque los protagonistas empiezan a tener visiones sin ninguna explicación por ejemplo.
Those who came from the days 3D films trendings and sagas, we appreciate this new reborn. Very entertaining film by the way
It looks scary and exciting! The most interesting part is that no one stays alive.
