#32: FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES

 

STARRING: Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger and Tony Todd. Written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor from a story by Jon Watts, Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein. Running time 110 minutes.

I'll say this about Death, he's not very good at his job if this latest installment in the 25 year-old franchise is anything to go by, because yet again he managed to avoid a whole family worth of victims who should have died but somehow avoided his tender mercies.

The best thing about the Final Destination franchise are the ridiculously convoluted deaths and this installment is packed to the brim with some truly spectacular deaths, deaths that make you laugh in delight. It's interesting that I've no longer got any time or patience for slasher films, I hate watching people getting stalked and slashed by masked killers, but watching a cast of characters dying gruesomely in so called accidents is an absolute blast! 

Plus Psycho Gran gets a sort of mention.

And that's about it! I very much enjoyed this movie. 

8/10
