Deaths in «Final Destination: Bloodlines» – available in the VoD store from 28 August
The «Final Destination» series has been around for 25 years now and is always based on the same principle: someone has a premonition that enables them to prevent a number of deaths. Although the survivors will then still die in the way they were predestined to. This sixth instalment adds a blood relationship to the mechanics, but ultimately the film once again features heaps of splatter effects and simple, yet effective suspense. Tony Todd, who died in real life, also makes his last appearance as William Bludworth. Guaranteed to turn your stomach!
