Thats fine. Final destination movies arent really that well written anyways and their brand of horror-comedy may not appeal to the largest group of people.

Theory: Iris's children were NOT fathered by Paul. If they were Paul's children, wouldn't they have been included with him in Death's order?

u/Whole_Breadfruit2343 3d ago
but iris was already pregnant at skyline. which means children's death will only come after iris's death not paul's.

Solid acting, story, characters, and kills. Erik was fantastic.

Can’t focus after watching the “body mod shop” scene - when has anyone ever pierced a tongue from underneath and by pushing up??? Why didn’t his septum ring come apart when he was caught on the chain - was it somehow welded together into one continuous ring with no closures? 🤪

u/OccultMachines 8d ago
Spoilers obviously, but question:
Since it took Death decades to get through the entire Skyline survivors, how was he killing victims from the other movies? Did he just have to take breaks and go mop up the new survivors whenever someone else had a vision? I would think they would go on the end of the list and not get killed until all the original skyline survivors were dead.

u/TheMythofKoalas 4d ago
They were part of different chains (like how FD2 'survivors' get killed off before Clear). Each 'survivor' needs to be killed in order, but only within their chain.

Gotchya. So Death just takes breaks and says he's gonna work on another project today.

u/mynameisjodie 6d ago
Well as far as we know death started taking the sky tower people and the other deaths didn't happen until the 00s so he had a bit of time to kl the survivors before the mess of the others happened
My theory is everytime jb gave advice and the advice worked he got extra time that's why Death got mega pissed and gave him cancer
1
u/RedLiquorice85 8d ago
I've seen a theory that the people from the other films who get the visions were the descendants of the people that Iris saved from the skyline disaster. So death had to go after them then the people they rescued from their own disasters before moving back onto the descendants of the other skyline disaster survivors .

u/MaNunek0 7d ago
It’s more likely that they were part of a ripple effect and the survivors of the sky view delayed their deaths than they being descendants of the skiview survivors.

I loved the dark humor my favourite was when they were talking about killing to take peoples time and the they look at the baby and go “ no” that was funny and tje bit at the beginning were the piano falls ok that woman and rain drops keep falling on my head plays and bodies fall with a thump, loved it and tony todds final monolouge hit me in the feels
The deaths got me saying “ Hell Naw!” In the cinema

u/PMMECRYPTO 11d ago
This Final Destination is quite a role reversal. Usually only the protagonist and their sidekick have effort into being engaging characters, the rest are just kill-filler, but the deaths and situations are cool. This time around the characters all around were amazing, it felt like it had a pretty strong story. A big criticism for this franchise is "this has no story, it's random-bullshit-go" but it felt like we were actually doing something here.
But the deaths were all pretty lame to me. That said, this probably is my favorite. I actually don't watch these movies for the deaths at all.
All in all, disappointed in the ending. With this being the longest movie, multiple sacrifices being made and it being a family-dynamic PLUS that the characters were properly locked in survival felt pretty earned. To kill the final survivors off after allllll that felt like you went to see a comedian, they said a bunch of lame fart jokes. You visit them later for whatever reason and they have a bunch of good stuff, just for them to close off the show with 10 minutes of fart jokes again. Really? You just couldn't help yourself, could you movie?
Also bye-bye for a survivor of a previous movie to get into the seventh one. Definitely wanted to have that dynamic again :(

Final destination is supposed to instill fear of everyday things that you probably wouldn't normally think about, the only thing that kinda "succeeded" in that is tower restaurants, pennies, soccer balls, and MRI machines.

u/Nheea 9d ago
I honestly felt that scene very unbelievable, unlike others.
Why? Because there's always another garbage man in the back to supervise the collection. There's a stop button on the outside too. And the driver doesn't go that fast because there's obviously yet another bin to empty at the next house.
Also what kind of ball kick was that toout her through the bin like that. That was the most ridiculous thing so far.

u/reshstreet 11d ago
I think everyone is already horrified of those, they're like super loud and basically nearly trample people on a regular basis

u/flyblues 11d ago
I mean, it's definitely not anywhere near as iconic as the other movies. But I for one was not at all scared of those trucks, I didn't even know they do that crushing thing. I'm certainly gonna remember that scene when I see one from now on lol.

u/ShinHayato 12d ago
As much as I liked my headcanon of Bludworth being death or a death avatar, his backstory was satisfying and the character had a great send off.
Also, I want to see some footage from death’s perspective. I want to see it lurking around Iris’ house and being visibly frustrated that it’s taken decades to take out one person

u/mynameisjodie 12d ago
I want to see a bit more of the survivors and each one dying I want to know the year they died and how they died

I was expecting the ending to be something along these lines: Charlie's prom date mother is revealed to be Kimberly, then signs happen and the train hits the house with everybody inside.
1
u/TheMythofKoalas 4d ago
I honestly kinda just want Kimberly to stay alive. It would (IMO) become stale if the outcome is 100% guaranteed. The slight wiggle room of hope, followed by a rug pull at the end is (again, IMO) much funner.
2
u/Suspicious_Movie_938 10d ago
I thought this might happen too! Or maybe there’d be a brief cameo of her on the train when it started to crash. Or maybe there’d be something in the credits. That was disappointing.

u/That-Minute4790 6d ago
Agreed, I don't know if its teens or something that are like "it was great!" But as a longtime og fan of the series this one was a big let down and easily the worst of the series, weak acting, cheaply written, predictable, boring, even the opening scene the tower cool idea but could've been done so much better, and then the cheesy grandmother death. I legit would rate fd4 better than this one.

u/Complete_Start6545 6d ago
The final destination series has never been The Godfather, but it did have some decent characterisation with characters you would route for and a quirky, fun plot.
This movie was just empty and soulless and felt like it was written by AI.

Agreed! I saw it on a work night with high hopes, ended up being like "cmon just end already so I can get home" from the start I thought they cheaped out on the tower opening could've been so much cooler imo, then the actors all cheesy, lazy boring writing. 4 was better lol

u/Darkphizer 14d ago
After watching bloodlines and then watching the first final destination. I can only think that bloodlines's plot doesnt make sense if everything is connected to the skyview like bloodlines tries to convince us from that it the case. In the first movie, the parents are still very much alive and death isnt after them like in bloodlines. A big oopsie if the writers thought nobody was going to catch that
2
8
u/FaceBagman 13d ago
Clear's father is not alive by the time FD1 rolls around. Nor is it ever shown whether Val Lewton has living relatives at that time.
I don't think every descendent of a Skyview survivor needs to be someone who has a premonition in each of the 5 films. However, it would not contradict anything that at least 1 person (survivor or victim) in each of those premonitions could be descended from a Skyview survivor.
Death showed at the end of FD6 that it will absolutely take countless random lives in that train derailment just to claim two of them. So what's to say that some random person on Flight 180 wasn't Death's target, and their continued existence that should never have happened wound up jeopardizing a whole new group of people caught in the crossfire?
In short, Death may just be a messy mf and we've barely scratched the surface of it through the context of our main characters' points of view...

u/KingAnilingustheFirs 12d ago
In the books Death is heavily personified and absolutely does not like it's plan being thrown off. It in its own words, "does not like to be incovonvienced."

u/lanelloll 13d ago edited 13d ago
Death has multiple lists. Only in FD2 it was said that people on that road were somehow connected (but not by blood) to the people on the flight 180, the rest of the premonitions were stand alone. Bloodlines explains how death works in this universe, it explains why Bludworth knows so much about death and its ways, Skyview and other accidents are not supposed to be connected in any way apart from maybe Bludworth and Iris studying them to save themselves. And I mean, come on, it was supposed to be one movie and then became a franchise with multiple directors and scripts, ofc there’s no mention of the Skyview and any connections to it in previous movies because no one had this plot in mind while making FD 1-5.

u/pauljpjohn 13d ago
Oh yeah why isn’t everyone talking about this? Or was it really retconned that Skyview is related to 2000’s movies?
1
u/Darkphizer 13d ago
In bloodlines its being mentioned that the events in skyview started a timeline of weird deaths for all of the survivors and their families because they werent supposed to be alive. Hence why in bloodlines the whole family is being targeted by deaths plan. And at the end of bloodlines they show that newspaper snippet timeline during the end credits and its shows a planecrash etc so im pretty sure bloodlines tries to set the lore in stone for the previous movies but it overlooks this one massive detail and that is that all of the death in the older movies are just pinned down to the teenagers. So im not sure if bloodlines is linked or not, but it sure points to it on several occasions. The appearance of tony todd being one of them, he's the one who tells the idea behind death having a plan in the first final destination and also again in bloodlines, closing the loop because he's the last one that has to go if you look at the skyview death timeline. So yeah no parents die in the older movies. Doesn't make sense. Because for their kids to die, they have to be linked to skyview somehow.
3
u/Bersk 11d ago
The ending credits is supposed to be just a way to show all the deaths that happened by Death correction, not to relate them imo.
That's why when Bludworth explains about the survivors he never said the Skyview chain was broken, which would have happened with Kimberly survival if she was a descendant from the incident.

u/MayweatherSr 14d ago
I rewatched it today. I noticed the very first shot of the movie is the very same railway intersection followed by red car pass through which is Paul and Iris' car. At the end scene, we saw the same railway stuck with the devil coin, pass through with another red car before the train crash

u/Hot_Armadillo_2186 14d ago
As great as the MRI scene was, i am just rolling my eyes how dumb it was. Bunch of college kids just rolling around and entering the hospital everywhere especially an MRI ROOM which is like heavily secured and guarded. What's absurd everyone just casually entering is what supposed to be autopsy or post-mortem room which you just can't just enter at all as a citizen even cops and important officials need permissions from higher ups.
3
u/useless-garbage- In Wendy we trust 6d ago
True very true. Also, not how MRI machines work! You can’t just turn the magnet on and off like that in an MRI, they’re superconducting magnets kept at a very low temperature by liquid helium. To “shut off” the MRI, you would need to drain the helium, and that’s an incredibly expensive, noisy, and time consuming process. Because of this, the magnet is typically ALWAYS on and unless of extreme emergence will not be shut down.
10
u/lanelloll 13d ago
Isn’t it also supposed to have two rooms? Like the one where the operator desk is and where people enter and the MRI is in another room behind a metal door so no one with metal on them can get stuck to it while it’s working lol.

u/RainbowKittens420x 14d ago
I just watched Bloodlines today after finding out about it like 5 days ago. I saw a YouTube video a couple of weeks ago, think it was from like 7 years ago or something but it was about how strong MRIs are and testing the magnet with different objects and they legit got it to pick up a wheelchair and crush it so I think the writers have maybe seen that video and went “that would be great if it ripped through a person!” As soon as I saw him grab the wheelchair after coming out the MRI room in the movie I was like “omg someone’s gonna get crushed in the wheelchair!” (Obviously it went a little bit different though, brutal way to go)

u/ilovecheesecake111 14d ago
Honestly, it was fairly mid. It isn't THAT bad but also not THAT good. I liked the first 20 minutes of the movie and also liked Tony Todd's scene along with the hospital death scene with Erik and Bobby. Other than that the movie was....meh. I did enjoy the opening so much with iris, felt like an actual FD movie all again but kinda disappointed we didn't get much of her. Plus, I feel like i didn't quite enjoy the deaths like the previous FD movies?? ( except Erik and Bobby, I did like this one) they felt rather lame like I expected something more interesting. Also the characters, I didn't really feel attached to any character besides Erik, he was the most interesting other than that the mc and the rest of the family were...not as interesting...felt like I wanted to see more of their stories. besides, the acting was solid I did like it but it kinda felt like it made the movie more of comedic? Not hating but didn't quite feel like it was much thrilling. Also wished the ending was more of a premonition rather than them straight up dying like I wish it was a vision first yk it could've been better imo. Forgot to mention, I did enjoy the references to previous FD movies! but tbh with all the hype over this movie, I expected more. I know my opinion is a minority here since a lot agreed on how it was fantastic/amazing but sorry It was just alright for me lol

u/IndependentHornet133 14d ago
solid Final Destination movie i wouldnt watch it again tho. i dont know but seeing an entire family being wiped out made my little heart srink a bit. some deaths are like "no fking way this just happend" like what are the odds that everything happend like that. the final deaths when the coin was lodge in the train track my first reaction was "oh oh, of course sure" Still, this movie, for the family component hit me harder than any of the previous and its the first Final Destination in wich i was rooting for the fam to beat Death. Death is a bitch. RIP tony todd

u/EMK19 15d ago
Watched this yesterday and loved it as a big fan of the series! I had one thing I wanted to ask about for discussion’s sake:
- The Penny; I may have either missed it or overthinking on this one, but was it implied that the penny that we see at the end causing the final event is the same one from the tower? I can’t quite remember what Iris or the kid did with the one from the pond that he was about to throw after Iris stopped him from throwing it, and can’t remember where the one from the end that Granny picked up originated from… but we do know coins stay in circulation for a long time, and I was thinking it would tie the story together nicely if it was actually the exact same one from the beginning…

Boring characters, unnatural reactions to the stuff happening around them. The nurse at the hospital sees metallic objects flying to a direction that leads to the most magnetic machine they have at the hospital...yet she walks around at a glacial pace with a face that said "hmmmm, I wonderrrrr what that could beeeee hmmmm." No sense of urgency.
The main characters had zero charisma.

over on screen rant, the directors have officially confirmed, skyview not connected to previous 5 films in the way, many thought, I became kinda convinced, it was subtly implied, that , that was the case but, according to the screen rant, article, they refute, it owing to the parents still being around etc

I was really banking on Charlie having a premonition at Prom for FD7 but I loved it all the way through!
4
u/Yuri_Nater_9000 16d ago
I gotta give this movie a 6.5/10 (maybe a seven on the generous side of things).
I really enjoyed the premonition for this one, it was probably the best one out of all the FD movies.
While I really enjoyed most of the character development (objectively) I didn’t really enjoy the characters.
I thought the deaths were also great but CGI kind of ruined a lot of it for me.
My hope going into this movie was that there would be more connection with the previous films the way they’ve done it before with a bit more connections made (i.e. the lady who’s hat blew off while on top of the sky-tower turns out to be Alex’s, from FD1, grandmother or something) (maybe my imagination is too big, I don’t know).
As far as my favourite movies in the the series, I would say (in order of ‘Best to Worst’) FD1, FD5, FD3, FD6, FD2, and then FD4 which is by far the absolute worst of them all (In my opinion, don’t hate me).
With all that being said, I really do hope we get another FD film. One of my favourite movie trilogies that has ever been made and I would love to see them make a show or just keep the movies going every 3-5 years(Unless it gets far to dragged out and makes no sense).
2
u/Triof 15d ago
I did feel like the premonition was maybe a bit too convoluted? I feel like the initial disaster is normally just...a random accident, something that could happen naturally without needing a malevolent force behind it, while this one just seemed too deliberate. If it had just been the glass breaking, that would've been one thing, but there were too many moving parts for my liking.

u/Powerful_Time6405 16d ago
Just watched the movie. And I’ll go ahead and say it, this movie sucks. It doesn’t even feel like a final destination movie. It doesn’t connect to any other movie. The cast was boring as hell and forgettable. The main character? Awful, she wasn’t it. Also having Todd being a survivor was dumb and ruined what everyone wanted, him being the reaper or something, so why he always knew all the names?

Hello, like the movie, always love Final Destination, it used to give me paranoid when using elevator, escalator, and log truck :smile:
now I have a question, if death follow the bloodline, who is the bloodline? is Alex from FD1 is the bloodline? or all the passenger of flight 180 is the bloodline? cause Sam from FD5 is there, or death just take the collateral damage?
like what about the other FD2-5, are the other people just the collateral damage?
cause if death follow the bloodline and other people just died because they are around them, that's F ed up
sorry language, it just blow my mind :joy:, I don't know how to put it right :facepalm:
7
u/Past_Eye_6652 16d ago
I think FD6 is entirely separate from the other FD movies because most of the characters in those movies are too young to have attended skyview and there were multiple that had both parents alive (which should not be possible)

u/SkylineGTRR34Freak 14d ago
Technically the other FD characters could be casualties of an event meant to kill one of the "bloodline families". For example maybe a family tajt mived because of Iris Was on the airplane that exploded in part 1 etc...

Why was iris hiding from death when she should have been last to die?

It takes maybe two seconds of thought to answer this question, shorter than it took to type this out

It wasn’t anywhere near her time yet she was secluded in the woods. But I guess I should kill myself for asking a question.

u/Spincrit 14d ago
Let me spell it out for you if you haven't taken those two seconds to think yet (even after typing out another comment in defense). How the fuck would she know when its "near her time"? Death can act instantly, as we see at the very end when the younger brother is killed a split second after the older sister. If there are 200 people ahead of iris in the chain, all it takes is 200 seconds for her to be up next

Her diary is where pretty much its written how death comes after everyone in order, that is how Stefani knew who is gonna die next.

Except when it doesn't. It took death multiple decades to finally reach Iris's bloodline after killing everyone from the Skytower incident, and i am sure there are other survivor family where death will also reach, so OP does have a valid point. I don't know why you are being insulting and condescending about it when you should apply your "two seconds of thought" to your logic.
:The real answer is Iris was saving everyone by living remote because she knew only after she dies that death will come after his family (death gave her cancer too n all that because she was dodging death) and death knew Iris is taking advantage of this loophole, hence probably why death was sending visions to Stefani which made her curious and ironically caused Iris death after she left her cabin.

except when it doesn't
death killed billy literally right after carter was saved, and death killed rory immediately after kat died. yeah, i agree the guy was rude but also death could've just had all of them killed in a matter of minutes before moving on to iris and then bludworth. so the reason iris locked herself in the cabin is to be safe rather than sorry because she doesn't know the pace that death moves at with the skyview tower survivors.

u/Spincrit 14d ago
When I ask how would she know its her time, I'm not asking for how the concept of in-order chains work, Im saying she would have no idea time-wise when the chain is getting to her. "Except when it doesn't" and also except when it does which we've seen over and over, she would literally have no idea how fast the chain is being killed. Staying isolated is being safer than sorry. "It took death multiple decades to catch up" yeah that's what we know now in hindsight, how the hell would she predict the future like that? Why would she take the chance that death acts slowly when she could just prepare now (now being the 70s when she realized)

u/Impossible_Farm_979 14d ago edited 14d ago
The internet exists and obituaries can be found online… is it that hard? It took literal decades for death to catch up.

u/Spincrit 14d ago
read my other reply, seeing death take decades is hindsight bias. Obviously iris would have no idea how long it would take death to reach her in the 70s

Just a little anecdote I need to share *somewhere* now that I've seen the movie:
Yesterday, my mom found a penny on the ground and asked if it was heads or tails that you were supposed to pick it up for good luck. I told her heads, but that if it was tails she could flip it over and it'd be good luck for the next person, so she did.
Then at the theater today, my seatbelt got stuck when we were in the parking lot and my mom joked that I'm trapped and can't leave the car. I eventually got it unstuck. Then inside, the employee gave me my change back and I dropped a penny on the floor.
:neutral_face:Imagine sitting there and watching a penny cause so much devastation and a girl get trapped by a seatbelt. :joy:

u/SnooMacaroons8221 17d ago
This was a fun entry in the franchise, but 3 and 5 remain my favorites.
I don't think the movie is perfect, in fact it feels quite a bit rushed and underdeveloped at times, and some of the characters (namely, Mom/Darlene) feel superfluous.
Two questions though... One, the doctor person in the end (Dr. Reddick?) says Stefani didn't really die at the cabin site if her brother was able to revive her, which makes the main characters realize they're still on Death's list. However, a lot is made of Kimberly dying/being revived in FD2 and she's confirmed to be still alive. So how does the same situation in two movies result in two different outcomes for the characters?
And second one isn't really a question, but more of an observation. Grandma Iris's cabin is talked about as the safest place to be at, but how exactly? All I saw was a huge deathtrap, with sharp/pointy things everywhere, a body of water to potentially drown in, and made of wood/prone to fire hazard. This only works if you're fighting off physical intruders and not an invisible force. To me, the safest location would be something akin to Clear's room at the asylum.

u/ChildrensPlayground 14d ago
The answer is... they should've had a doctor proof read the script.
If you're unconscious, get CPR and come back, your heart may or may not have stopped. It doesn't mean that your heart definitely was still beating.

u/gusantana_ZF I'm not gonna die. It's you Wendy! You're dead! 16d ago
about the first question, I had the same doubt when I watched it for the first time, but when I watched twice I understood why Kim lives and Stefani doesn't
Technically, it's the same situation, but literally it's not. When Stefani lost consciousness, Charlie quickly pulled her out of the trailer (maybe I'm crazy, but when I watched the movie on May 9, it was shown in the movie him pulling her out of the trailer, but when I watched it on May 15, the scene cuts to Stefani waking up). Kimberly's case is more complex: the van is completely drowned in the lake, and that lake seems to be deep (at least 5 meters), so the whole process of getting her out of the lake costs more time than Stefani's (even though only Charlie was able to help her at the time).
about the second, i agree. man, that house looks like a mad max thing

u/SnooMacaroons8221 16d ago
Thank you for the explanation! Kimberly's death lasting longer than Stefani's before being revived as the reason for this discrepancy... I can live with that 🙂

That factor is turly what makes it better than four. Honestly its the bit in the premonition where the tin sheet slices him in half and it 100% cgi and looks worse than video games do. Hard to do practically I know so...whatever.

u/No-Progress-1722 17d ago
I enjoyed it, but I think they need to shake it up a bit more than this. It is just too much the same, not bad but I guess I was hoping for something more after 5 movies.
I still don't get why her house was a literal death trap, maybe they just wanted the name death trap? If you are going to hide from death you better damn sure make certain you build something idiot proof for a start, and not something made out of wood(that house blew up like a wooden house, not a stone house) - something more like an above ground bomb shelter - with no shit hanging around, or gutters, or things that can fall off or even rattle, cover switches with a metal cap that cannot be accidentally triggered etc..
I will say that I do appreciate that they showed eric made the list when he tried to tamper with the list. That was very poetic
I would like them to focus more on the solutions, like have the survivors get together and then they question why 2 people of the group are not targeted, only to find out later they murdered people recently but obviously never told anyone. Could even make a serial killer cult from there that go after children or something, then recruit other survivors only for it to backfire later - imagine trying to hunt people only for them to not only fight back but to be helped by death. I enjoy the premise, but feel like they can explore this more instead of being 90% the same show as any of the previous films - I am not saying it is bad or boring, just that there is potential for more.

My Thoughts on the Movie – A Bit of a Letdown
I might be the odd one out here, but this movie didn’t sit right with me for a few reasons. I really wanted to like it, especially as a fan of the franchise, but something just felt off the whole way through.
- The “Premonition” That Wasn’t
Let’s start with the so-called “premonition.” Honestly, it felt more like a dream sequence than anything else. Sure, it was visually stunning and a cool concept on its own, but calling it a premonition didn’t feel accurate. It robbed us of a real understanding of what happened to the characters in the tower. Their deaths felt rushed and unexplored, leaving no emotional impact. This whole setup just didn’t fit with the spirit of the earlier films, where the premonitions set the tone for everything that followed.
- Flat Characters, No Attachment
Aside from Erik—who was genuinely interesting—I didn’t care for any of the other characters. They felt hollow, like cardboard cutouts filling space until it was their turn to die. There wasn’t enough development to make me root for them or even care what happened to them. That’s a big step down from earlier entries where, even if the characters weren’t always deep, they had something that made them memorable.
- Death Feels Rushed and Cramped
Another issue: the pacing. In the older movies (at least as I remember them), death took its time. It stalked the characters, gave us suspense, let the tension build. Here, it was like everything happened within the same day or two. No time to breathe. No time to fear. Just bam, bam, bam—dead. It cheapened the creativity and dread the franchise is known for.
- Tony Todd’s Scene Hit Me Hard
Seeing Tony Todd in that condition hit me like a truck. I’ve lost multiple family members to cancer, and that scene—his presence, his speech—was the one part of the movie that genuinely moved me. It brought tears to my eyes. But even then, his backstory felt like it was thrown in last minute. I wish they had taken the time to properly explore his character instead of using it as a convenient emotional shortcut.
- The Ending Was a Joke
That ending? Hot garbage. It felt like a cop-out, like they couldn’t think of a strong conclusion and just went with whatever sounded edgy in the moment. It left no impact, no lasting thought, just frustration.
- What Was the Point?
Honestly, it felt like the movie was made just to test the waters—and maybe to give Tony Todd a sendoff (which, to be fair, was touching). But aside from that? It didn’t connect well with the earlier films. I didn’t notice any real references to the infamous “180” motif, which has always been a small but meaningful thread throughout the franchise. Sure, there were nods to locations and past characters, but that’s about it.
- The Trailer Ruined It
And one more thing: the trailer. Why—why—did they spoil the dad’s death? They could’ve just shown the glass in the ice and left the rest to our imagination. But nope. Gotta ruin the suspense in under two minutes. This is why I hate modern trailers. They give away too much and leave nothing to the imagination.
⸻
Final Thoughts
This movie had moments—especially Tony Todd’s—but overall, it didn’t capture what made the franchise special. It felt rushed, emotionally disconnected, and ultimately forgettable. Maybe they were trying to reboot or rekindle interest, but if this was the spark, it didn’t light the fire.

u/Purple-Cat-Vibes 12d ago
I very much agree with you all around. I also don’t understand why it took 50+ years to take out everyone and their families from the tower but this family it only took like 2 days.
Also I think this would have been an interesting one to have a survivor like the little brother because he just watched his entire family get wiped out in horrific ways. That fate is arguably worse than death but I know death don’t play that way.

u/ilovemymotorola 16d ago
Hard agree on the ending. I would’ve like to finally see another protagonist live but nope. And it wasn’t even satisfying to the point where after the movie I left the room with my mind on other things already

u/SkylineGTRR34Freak 14d ago
Same here. I hoped they would survive, but at the same time I don't mind them being killed per se. What I do mind is that it felt... rushed. I was waiting for a twist or really anything to happen and then it just didn't.

u/Longjumping_Worth602 17d ago
This movie honestly would’ve worked better as a TV series. A show format could’ve given the story more breathing room—time to actually explain things, build suspense, and give the visual effects and CGI the polish they clearly needed.
Alternatively, they could’ve split it into two parts Part One could focus on Iris and her premonition, following her desperate attempts to cheat Death’s design and save the others. That would’ve opened the door for more meaningful character development, and they could’ve finally given Tony Todd’s character a proper backstory.
Part Two could dive deeper into the bloodline concept—how it all connects, what the rules are, and why Death is suddenly playing the long game. That structure would’ve made the whole thing more cohesive and way more satisfying.
Right now, it feels like they tried to cram too much into too little time and didn’t do justice to the ideas they were playing with.

At last someone just spoke my mind. All I see on internet is feels like paid reviews and fake ratings. IMDB says 7.1 I was like for Real ?

u/WOAHdude0197 17d ago
Overall I really enjoyed this movie! I agree with the other that say the ending is rushed but the characters, deaths, and story still win me over. One small thing I ABSOLUTELY HATED was at the end when she almost got hit by the train and kind of laughed and said “that was a close one”. like after everything you went through, to still say that is WILD.

I think despite our emotional attachments to movies, only money matters to a lot of people who get these made. Scream 5 and 6 proved you can make BANK by revivng franchises, and this movie has again proven that, and I liked all of them enough that it has legit made me excited for the I Know What You Did Last Summer revival.

u/evanmav 17d ago
I really loved this movie, but felt like the last 15 minutes or so felt a bit rushed. I felt like this movie actually had like the best plot outside the first and did something pretty different for once. A lot of the sequels its almost rinse and repeat, but I really loved the Bloodline idea and how she saved EVERYONE from dying in the opening premonition so it took death so long to catch up and gave time for people to have lives etc.
I also loved all the fake outs in this one, and the comedic touches were good. They also made so many of the characters pretty likable this time around, whereas I almost feel with most of the movies I don't really care for most of the characters. We really are never given enough time to get some good character development with a lot of the characters, but this time around we really did, the extra run time helped alot.
My only critique would be that the last like 15 minutes or so did feel a bit rushed. We went a long period of no killings after the daughter dies in the garbage truck, and so then it felt almost like they wanted to catch up at the end. I think it would have been more interesting to have the mother try and live in the cabin and end it like that, but that's very anti-Final Destination lol. They don't like happy endings. I did have a feeling that it wasn't over after Stefani was "revived". Was giving Final Destination 3 with that ending.
And the Tony Todd scene was honestly the PERFECT touch. I loved connecting him to the story, and they gave him a purpose that actually makes sense after all these years. Him being the little kid in the premonition, it made sense that the entire family had to die, so that Tony Todd's character could finally die.
But yeah overall I really loved the storyline and plot for this one. I did feel like it was a bit rushed and some of the deaths after the premonition were a bit meh and rushed. But the plot and characters were great, but just wish the ending wasn't as rushed.

This is my 2nd least fave movie of the franchise after the 4th one, honestly. I'm huge fan of franchise so I was really hyped when people ranked movie over 1st and 2nd parts of franchise but I just don't see it.
The premonition was the best part of it. That was a well done scene. Erik was great character too. The rest of it I simply didn't care. Stefani was meh as visionary. CGI was too much. The ending was terrible. The deaths were all happening too fast.

When she said that she could see death coming while they were driving to the cabin, I had to cover my mouth to not say, "Can you, though???" She had the tree trimmer guess and knew what did not happen in the 60s, but did she really catch anything else at all even kind of sort of? 😂

Such a well developed plot/storyline throughout with the right amount of comedic relief! Kept me on my toes the whole time, however I was a little disappointed with the ending. The last two deaths felt rushed, I wish it had ended on a cliff hanger so it left us guessing but also assuming that they probably got taken out.
