SPOILERS: This post contains details about Final Destinations: Bloodlines
After 25 years, death has a few twists in store for fans of the Final Destination franchise.
With the sixth installment Final Destination: Bloodlines premiering May 16 in theaters, director Zach Lipovsky recently teased how the upcoming sequel deviates from the series of horror movies.
“For this film, the first premonition takes place in 1969,” he explained to SFX Magazine. “There are lots of deaths during the premonition, which is what normally happens in the opening sequence of a Final Destination movie, but we then come out of the eye of a different person in the modern day. That’s new. For a lot of fans, I think that’s going to immediately throw them for a loop. It’s going to make them lean forward to try and figure out what’s going on.”

Lipovsky, who co-directed with Adam Stein, added, “As moviegoers, we love it when you have to lean forward in your seat because a movie is being unpredictable. We switch up a lot of the predictability, including who’s going to die next and how they are going to die. You might think it’s one person, but it’s not. There’s a delight in that.”
The deadly 1969 premonition was teased in the first trailer, which dropped last month, surpassing 178.7 million worldwide views to become the second-most viewed horror movie trailer in its first 24 hours.
Final Destination: Bloodlines goes back to the very beginning of Death’s twisted sense of justice. 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.
