Most long-running film franchises are based on a character. Batman. Superman. Harry Potter. Freddy Krueger. James Bond. Luke Skywalker and his pals. Indiana Jones. And so on.Final Destinationis one of the few franchises I can think of thats not based on a popular character, or even an ongoing story that follows multiple characters through the years. Its about a quirky concept: People who somehow escape certain doom who thenwind up dying anywaythrough coincidences and unhappy accidents so convoluted they make Rube Goldberg look chill.The concept is endlessly renewable, because it doesnt rely on characters (most of whom die in each new movie). Insert some new people, hatch up some inventive new ways for them to kick the bucket, and youre ready to roll cameras.And thus: Here is the sixth film in the saga,Final Destination Bloodlines. The title suggests some sort of connection to the earlier films characters, as if dying in horrible ways is somehow hereditary. But really thats not what anyone is going to go to see it for. Theyre going to see tattoo artists get pulled by their noses into ceiling fans.Check out the first trailer for the film below:READ MORE: The Best Elevated Horror Movies EverBloodlines marks the first newFinal Destinationmoviein 14 years.
