Movies The new FD movie was actually.... good

[SmoothPies]

I saw Final Destination - Bloodlines yesterday in theaters, and went into it expecting just dumb fun but horrible acting and cheese, like many of the others in the franchise.

However, to my surprise.. this was actually a really good movie, the best of the FD franchise IMO. The acting was decent, good mix of horror and comedy, an original plot line, and was so much fun from start to finish. Feels like a movie from 2005 that traveled through time to today.

Would recommend seeing this in theaters if you still can

I think all of them are good as popcorn horror flicks. Not seen one I didn't enjoy.

Made me laugh that at a screening in Argentina the cinema ceiling collapsed on a woman watching it.

Yep, 100%. I like the whole franchise, as its just fun. But this one surprised me.. I think the 14 year gap since the previous one gave time for more originality.

I heard about that.. that is insane.

If the air con in my cinema wasn't rubbish I'd be tempted to go and watch it, they're really good. Glad you enjoyed the new one, hopefully they'll do more now.

I’m there. The premise has insane promise and a few of the movies were fun on the eyes. Waiting for a darker turn and less camp.

I remember they were planning on going full on dark and even showing death in visual form floating around. FD ended up becoming an event type movie, much like Saw and now Terrifier, the got the audience to see how the limits are pushed in an almost comedic way.

That being said I watch those kinds of movies, going to watch this today lol.

how does it end?

how does it end?

Can't say, but I thought it was solid

How can they fight against it?

I could be with this. Sort of like NoES, the camp is what ruins it for me. Though I am not the arbiter of art. Freddy Krueger was a way better menacing character than a horror/comedy one to me. Not sure I’ll buy a movie ticket but I’ll def catch on streaming.

Just got out of FD, it was a solid effort. Definitely more of the same, alot of humor and some interesting scenarios. Not sure where they go from here though, the brother with the tats and piercings stole the show and dropped a few laugh out loud lines. A good afternoon or night time movie with some friends.

The pace felt off at times, my preference will always be a quicker pace in these types of movies so imo they could have cut about 15 mins of randomness and it would have benefited. The end was unexpected, it happened so quick too. RIP Tony Todd, short but sweet scene with him putting his final stamp on horror.

The Tony Todd tribute was a great touch

It's definitely on my list, I do enjoy those movies as a bit of a guilty pleasure - think I'll try and get to the cinema this coming weekend to see it.
