Across five films, the Final Destination franchise treated us to some of the most memorable moments of brutality in horror history, from the opening highway disaster in Final Destination 2 to the gruesome destruction of a gymnast’s body in Final Destination 5 that still lives rent-free inside my brain.

When Death has a desire to take you… well… there’s just no stopping it.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Final Destination franchise, with brand new sixth installment Final Destination Bloodlines bringing the franchise back to theaters this coming May for this first time in fourteen long years. The new movie is guaranteed to give us a whole new batch of terrifying dangers to worry about, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
