<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThis sixth installment features arguably the best opening kill sequence of the entire franchise. Set in the 1960\u2019s, apparent protagonist Iris (Brec Bassinger) visits a rooftop restaurant at the top of a hastily-built tower. The tower collapses and everyone is killed, including Iris, but the scene turns out to be a dream-like vision by Iris\u2019s granddaughter Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) in the modern day. But wait, if Iris was killed in the tower collapse, how did she live long enough to have a family? Things aren\u2019t adding up, even by \u201cFinal Destination\u201d standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We eventually learn that Stefani\u2019s whole family is marked for death, it\u2019s just taken Death a few decades to get around to them. Cue the convoluted, yet inventive sequences of family members getting picked off in ways that only the sickest minds in horror can dream up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though we know most of the characters are toast, they\u2019re more likeable than usual thanks to their strong familial bond. That, and a sincere farewell appearance by the late Tony Todd, make \u201cBloodlines\u201d the most heartfelt of the \u201cFinal Destination\u201d movies. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s the tightest entry, as I think it leaves too much potential unfulfilled at the end, but until the last ten minutes or so I was ready to call this my favorite installment in the series. As it is, it takes a backseat to the fifth movie, but it\u2019s in a respectable second place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
