'Final Destination Bloodlines' Boasts Stellar CinemaScore Rating Amid Unprecedented Rotten Tomatoes Success

Although the Final Destination franchise is admittedly very popular, it has always struggled with the critics. In fact, the franchise seemed to have ended 14 years ago, just as a new wave of director-driven horror movies — these were categorized as "elevated horror" — began to leave an impression in the minds of audiences and critics. Art-house horror, for the first time ever, became mainstream. But Final Destination Bloodlines is flipping the narrative in its debut; not only is the movie expected to overperform at the box office, it has delivered the best reviews in the franchise's quarter-century history.
