The latest addition to the Final Destination franchise is earning praise for its bold, self-aware approach that refreshes the long-running horror series. Ram Venkat’s video review on Gulte Pro YouTube channel applauded the film’s playful tone, highlighting how it cleverly mocks its own tropes while still delivering the gory thrills fans expect.
This new chapter takes a surprising comedic turn, standing out from its five more serious predecessors. It is also noted that this lighter, more character-driven approach made the film feel more engaging, allowing the audience to connect with the characters on a deeper level, a rare feat for the franchise.
Of course, no Final Destination film is complete without its signature creative death scenes, and the new installment doesn’t disappoint. One standout moment involves a chillingly imaginative MRI machine sequence. However, the opening disaster scene felt overly dramatic and less grounded compared to the series’ usual setups.
Still, the overall verdict is enthusiastic. The film’s blend of humor, inventive horror, and fan service makes it a strong recommendation, especially for longtime fans looking for a fresh spin on a beloved formula.
