FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES Has Earned A Death-Defying 93% On Rotten Tomatoes

The sixth instalment in the Final Destination franchise is set to hit theaters this weekend, and the review embargo has now lifted.

Despite being popular with horror fans who looked forward to seeing what kind of twistedly inventive scenarios Death would come up with to dispatch those who managed to cheat the Reaper, the Final Destination movies were never what you'd call critical darlings. Even the 2000 original - which is generally regarded as the best - only has a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.

With this in mind, it's definitely a surprise to see such a positive response to Final Destination Bloodlines. With 59 reviews counted, the movie is currently sitting at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Adding some surprising emotional layers onto the ghoulish bones of Final Destination's mythology, Bloodlines ingeniously executes grisly set pieces with precision and turns impending doom into outrageous fun."
