Among all the thriller movies that play on the fear of sudden and unexpected death, Final Destination holds a unique place. The first film in the franchise came out in 2000 and shocked audiences with its disturbing but gripping take on how people die in bizarre and brutal ways due to unforeseen events or simple objects. The idea that someone can see these terrifying deaths in a dream but still not be able to stop them gave the story a haunting edge, which helped the film become a massive box-office hit.
Following its success, four more parts were released in 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2011. Each installment was a blockbuster and built a loyal fanbase across the world.
Now, 15 years later, the franchise returns with its sixth and final part, titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, hitting theaters on May 15. The film is being released in Telugu and several other Indian languages through dubbing. But what’s really catching attention is that Bloodlines is getting midnight premiere shows across India, something that usually only happens with films featuring big Indian stars.
The first show is set to start at exactly 11:59 PM, a rare honor for a Hollywood horror film. Major cities in Telugu states like Hyderabad, Vijayawada, and Vizag are all set to host these special premieres.
Judging by the trailer, Bloodlines is going to be the most intense entry in the series yet. The violence and thriller are more graphic than ever, and the visual presentation of the deaths is enough to haunt viewers even in their sleep. This film is meant to bring the long-running horror-thriller franchise to a close.
Interestingly, the Final Destination series originally started as a book series with ten parts, all of which were bestsellers. Two comic books also followed. However, the movies were limited to six parts. Fans who have followed the franchise for 25 years are feeling emotional that it’s finally coming to an end.
Now all eyes are on how this chilling story will conclude.
