‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Trailer: Death Slaughters Its Way Through an Entire Family Tree
The early origins of Death’s sadistic design are set to be explored in new franchise installment Final Destination Bloodlines, and the official trailer has finally arrived this week.
Watch the new trailer for Final Destination Bloodlines below, and experience the franchise’s first new movie in fourteen years when it releases only in theaters on May 16, 2025.
Today’s new trailer gives us a better idea of the new movie’s storyline, with the film centered on the children and grandchildren of a woman who beat Death many years before the original Final Destination movie. She’s been outrunning Death for some time, it seems, but it has finally caught up to her and intends to collect the souls that were never supposed to exist.
The newest chapter in New Line Cinema’s hit franchise is said to “take audiences back to the very beginning.” Here’s the official synopsis for Final Destination Bloodlines:
Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.
Final Destination Bloodlines stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Rya Kihlstedt, and Anna Lore, with Brec Bassinger.
The late horror legend Tony Todd will be making his final big screen appearance in Final Destination Bloodlines, again playing recurring franchise character William Bludworth.
The franchise’s new installment is directed by Adam Stein & Zach Lipovsky. Final Destination Bloodlines is rated “R” for “Strong violent/grisly accidents, and language.”
The screenplay is by Guy Busick & Lori Evans Taylor, and story is by Jon Watts and Guy Busick & Lori Evans Taylor. It is based on characters created by Jeffrey Reddick.
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
