HBO Max dropped Final Destination Bloodlines on August 1, 2025, and within a day, it climbed straight to the top of the platform’s global streaming chart. It is currently the most-watched film worldwide, beating out the original Final Destination and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which now sit behind it in second and third place, per Flixpatrol.

Fate is just a flip of the coin...

Final Destination: Bloodlines confirmed why Erik Campbell (Richard Harmon) died despite not being part of the family tree of Death's design. The sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise dialed up the stakes when Death targeted a single family, killing them one by one due to a massive incident that did not happen in the past due to the intervention of one of their family members. 

At the center of the story is Stefani Reyes (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), who has been having visions of a tragic accident that took place in the Skyview Tower in the 1960s, and the visionary is later revealed to be their grandmother, Iris (Brec Bassinger). After Iris' death in the present day, Death shifts its attention to the remaining family members, including Erik.

Hollywood has been in turmoil since the Covid-19 pandemic first shook theaters, but horror movies have been a rare exception. While studios push to support sequels and adaptations as the only truly financially viable releases, new horror franchises have been thriving in theaters without any hint of faltering.

M3GAN (2022), Smile (2022), and MaXXXine (2024) all proved to be extremely successful releases that impressed critics and audiences alike. Even franchise-focused horror movies have been shockingly viable, as Alien: Romulus (2024), Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024), A Quiet Place Part II (2020), and Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023) proved to be some of the most profitable releases of the post-pandemic era.

As those releases prove, supernatural horror has been an especially compelling angle for Hollywood recently. While streaming has been cutting into theatrical takes, Five Nights at Freddy's released simultaneously on streaming and in theaters and still succeeded. Recently, another supernatural horror also thrived on both release platforms, despite staggering its debuts.

HBO has just added a bunch of new movies to its streaming lineup this month, and one of the biggest arrivals is Final Destination: Bloodlines. This new horror flick has been making waves since its release earlier this year, and now fans can finally stream it from home.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth movie in the long-running Final Destination series. It’s directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, with the script written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, based on a story they came up with along with Jon Watts.

The main character, Stefani, played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana, is a college student who finds out she’s inherited terrifying visions from her dying grandmother. These visions are tied to a deadly skyscraper disaster that was avoided back in 1969. Her grandmother warns her that Death itself is coming for their family. The cast also includes Teo Briones,...

There was a time at Comic-Con where an actor on a Hall H panel would say, “I read the comics when I was a kid,” when talking about the latest comic book adaptation.

In an underscoring how the culture is shifting, on a Thursday Hall H panel, an actor said, “I played the games when I was a kid.”

The line was uttered by actor Teo Briones (who is all of 20) at the Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s panel for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel to the successful 2023 adaptation of the horror video game that was a surprise hit that grossed $291.4 million.

Video game adaptations have finally matured as a viable form for film and television in recent years, in both box office and critical acclaim. Fnaf 2 hopes to keep that going when it hits theaters in December. And in success, there would be a third one, producer...

Although the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 trailer was released earlier today to showcase all the new horrors awaiting in the titular pizzeria, Blumhouse saved one sinister surprise for attendees at the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel tonight. In addition to Skeet Ulrich reuniting with his fellow Ghostface Matthew Lilliard in the sequel, there's another new animatronic set to make its debut in theaters this December. A new sneak peek was shared that highlighted the creepy Marionette, a haunting being that gamers will remember hiding in a music box that needed to be kept wound in Scott Cawthon's second installment in the horror video game franchise, lest bad things happen. Collider's Samantha Coley was in attendance to get a look at the frightful puppet and its purpose in the footage.

The new look opens with Mckenna Grace's paranormal investigator and her video crew being guided on a...

Freddy Fazbear brought the frights to San Diego Comic-Con during Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s Hall H panel for “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,” the sequel to the successful 2023 horror game adaptation.

The panel came hours after the film’s trailer was released, revealing the revenge plans of the first film’s murderous animatronic robots.

In a conversation moderated by Juju “Straw Hat Goofy” Green, director Emma Tammi (who also helmed the first film) teased that the upcoming movie features “more than three times as many animatronics” as the first film. She praised collaboration with the Jim Henson Company for the film’s robots, adding, “We we really wanted to make the electronics feel and move as practically as possibly, versus the CG route, which is also incredible, but it just didn’t feel right for the nostalgia that Freddy’s invokes. We met with the Henson team, and they totally got that.

This morning, the official Blumhouse social media pages released a full trailer for the film Five Night's at Freddy's 2, a sequel to the 2023 adaptation of the popular game franchise Five Night's at Freddy's. This trailer was expected to be on the horizon with news earlier this month of the film having a presentation at San Diego Comic Con, which is currently ongoing this week. The trailer runs two minutes and twenty seconds and manages to pack in enough excitement to keep me interested.

The trailer brings us back to Freddy Fazbears Pizza... sort of, instead of showing us the restaraunt where the events of the last movie occured, we're introduced to an older "original" restaraunt with abandoned animatronics being investigated by an amateur group of paranormal investigators, who more than likely will get more than they bargained for when faced with the haunted animatronics. The film is an adaptation of...

Universal and Blumhouse are making the dreams of Scream fans everywhere come true today by announcing that Skeet Ulrich will reteam with his on-screen bestie, Matthew Lillard, for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The news comes on the morning of the movie’s big panel at Sdcc and was paired with the official trailer debut, so we can’t wait to see what other tricks and treats they have in store for those in attendance at the yearly gathering. The announcement marks a major horror icon reunion, as Ulrich and Lillard previously appeared alongside one another in Wes Craven’s 1996 feature, Scream — the movie that would start a franchise. As of right now, it isn’t clear which character Ulrich will be joining as, but perhaps we’ll find out more later today.

The big reveal comes after months of speculation that Ulrich would appear in the eagerly-anticipated sequel in one way or another.

The trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 has just been released, and it looks like fans are in for an even scarier ride this time around. In the first full look at the movie, the killer animatronics are back, and they’re not staying inside Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza anymore.

The new footage opens with McKenna Grace and a group of people exploring the remains of an old Freddy’s restaurant. As you’d expect, things go bad quickly. The animatronics start moving, stalking, and attacking again, and this time, the danger feels bigger. A lot bigger.

The trailer also shows that Abby, Mike, and Vanessa are returning, and once again they’re pulled into the nightmare. Freddy himself appears, asking Abby for help, which drags her and her brother Mike back into a world filled with haunted robots and deadly secrets. And this time, it looks like the...

The first full trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is finally here, and it’s just as creepy as fans hoped. The sequel brings back more killer animatronics, more danger, and way more chaos. This time, the monsters aren’t just inside one haunted pizzeria.

The trailer starts with a group of people exploring an old Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza building. McKenna Grace leads the group, and it doesn’t take long before things start to go wrong. These animatronics aren’t playing games, they’re on the hunt again. From the looks of it, no one is safe.

We also catch up with familiar faces like Abby, Mike, and Vanessa. Freddy himself even shows up to ask Abby for help, and just like that, they’re pulled back into the nightmare. Now it seems the killer animatronics are loose in the outside world, not just inside the restaurant.

Ahead of today's Hall H panel where members of the cast of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will take to the stage at Sdcc alongside director Emma Tammi, to give audiences a fresh look at the upcoming film, Blumhouse has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel.

The film’s official trailer brings Josh Hutcherson’s Mike Schmidt back to the fold, and reveals that he, his little sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), and their friend, Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail), are still incredibly traumatized by what went down in the first movie — and who can blame them? Despite having grown up quite a bit since the last time we saw her, Abby is still missing her “friends”, aka the ghostly-possessed animatronics from Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. In fact, she’s missing them so much that she sets out on a quest to help them put the pieces back together, a...

2025 continues to bring the horror hits to genre fans. Whether it’s bloody original gems or scary franchise sequels, there's no shortage of screams to be had at the movies so far this year.

The next installment of the Blumhouse series, based on the video game of the same name, haunts theaters this winter. Now, before horror fans return to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, the original film is getting a new 4K edition.

An Amazon exclusive, the new version of Five Nights at Freddy's is the “Ultimate Collector’s Edition.” This comes with an IconArt print of Freddy Fazbear and his animatronic friends as well as a 4K/Blu-ray/Digital combo pack steelbook. While not the first steelbook for the film, this particular one features the teaser...

After a 14 year hiatus, the Final Destination franchise returned this year with Final Destination: Bloodlines – and movie-goers were clearly missing these movies, as Bloodlines has quickly become the highest-grossing entry in the franchise. The previous record holder, 2009’s The Final Destination, reached $187 million, but the new sequel has left that record in the dust, pulling in over $283 million. Franchise producer Craig Perry produced the new movie alongside Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far from Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts – and now, Watts has confirmed that he would be glad to work on another film in the Final Destination series.

Watts got his feature directorial debut with the Eli Roth-produced horror movie Clown, so it wasn’t shocking when he decided to circle back to the horror genre to produce and write the initial treatment for Final Destination: Bloodlines. Speaking with Collider, he revealed exactly how that situation...

Final Destination Bloodlines co-director Zach Lipovsky has finally revealed the reason why they decided to scrap their initial plans to include Kimberly Corman in the latest installment of the hit supernatural horror franchise. Kimberly Corman was the main protagonist of 2003’s Final Destination 2, which featured one of the franchise’s most iconic death sequences, whose character was later portrayed by A.J. Cook.

During a recent interview with ScreenRant, Lipovsky confirmed that their first draft of the screenplay included a Corman cameo, which would have taken place in the same scene as William Bludworth’s appearance. However, they eventually removed Kimberly from the scene in order to give highlight to Tony Todd’s character. “It could definitely work in the future. It was actually something that we essentially killed. The first draft that we read—you guys are good at that,” Lipovsky said. “Yeah, the first draft that we read had them finding.

The follow-up to the 2023 hit, Five Nights at Freddy’s, is officially in the works. The new movie, titled Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, will continue the story from the first film. It’s directed by Emma Tammi and written by the original game creator, Scott Cawthon. Many actors from the first movie are back, including Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa, Piper Rubio as Abby, and Matthew Lillard as William Afton.

New faces like Skeet Ulrich, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Teo Briones have also joined the cast. Skeet Ulrich is expected to play Henry Emily, a key character from the game series, though some roles are still being kept under wraps.

The idea for a sequel was first mentioned by Cawthon in 2018. He said a second movie would depend on how well the first one did. This became official in 2024 when Josh Hutcherson confirmed the sequel’s development early that year,...

The next Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is officially on the way. Titled Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel will continue the story from the first film, which was released in 2023.

Josh Hutcherson returns as Mike Schmidt, along with Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa, Piper Rubio as Abby, and Matthew Lillard as William Afton. New cast members include Skeet Ulrich, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Teo Briones.

In 2023, Blumhouse gleefully jumped on the string of video game to film adaptations, bringing Scott Cawthon’s beloved horror game Five Nights at Freddy’s to a chilling feature-length life. The movie proved to be an incredible success at the box office, earning well over $297 million globally before its run came to an end — and that’s on top of the fact that the title dropped the same day on Peacock.
