Premonição 6: Laços de Sangue

This sixth franchise installment keeps the same core concept as the previous films but takes a fresh approach to the story. This time, the accidents aren't shown through the typical dynamics of the characters, but focus on tragedies from the past of the main character's grandmother. The film doesn't just involve friends and loved ones, but also family, making the narrative much darker and more morbid.

The deaths are far more creative, and while the accidents themselves aren't typical for a horror movie, they're events you could imagine happening in everyday life. Still, these occurrences are something we haven't seen in the series before, making the film all the more unpredictable.

It's been 14 years since the last installment, and I'm glad the creators decided to bring Final Destination back. I think they nailed the essence of the story, and the film is just as good as the previous ones, if not better than some. The effects are incredible, the CGI is top-notch, and we've been lacking a high-quality horror film like this, especially in the last few years.

I have to mention that the film disgusted and shocked me more than the previous ones, which means they nailed the effects. This film not only satisfies fans of the franchise but also brings something new and revitalizes the series.

Loved the movie.. and from what I noticed in the movie theatre and from my friends. Everyone enjoyed it! I personally enjoyed the overall story.. The opening scene in the tower is amazing really. Showed the story back in the old days and after many years in our time how death (a person) follows everyone.

I liked it.. Especially how the story carries on.. as a family curse plot. Some people find Final Destination movies repetitive.. true. I guess hardcore fans might expect/anticipate every single shot because it follows the same path as the old movies. But this one is very enjoyable.

Really keeps you at the edge of your seat. Most accidents were amusing to be honest. Especially the one in the MRI machine. Very creative.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a great time. It does the smart thing and goes for a more comedic approach than earlier entries in the series.

Bloodlines contains possibly the best opening of the franchise and the first 20 minutes are a treat. The effects, while not amazing, do the job and are particularly gory even for this series.

The movie works well bringing a new twist on the Final Destination formula and the family are all likable enough in their own ways.

It would be remiss of me not to mention a standout in Richard Harmon. I spend a good portion of his time on screen trying to calculate if Tom Green could have fathered him as he is his dead ringer in this (amazingly both canadian as well). It was obvious they were going for a Tom Green type of character.

Tony Todd shows up for the last time as the mortician and it's a great emotional and poetic send off for him as well as giving his character an interesting backstory.

The movie has some nice little easter eggs for fans of the series with some call backs to previous entries as well as harking back to some of the premonitions.

The Final Destination franchise has always been interesting to me but never quite delivered a quality movie. This is perhaps the closest it has came to that by just being a good time and not getting bogged down in the lore.

One of the best of the franchise in my opinion.

Humor, yes, dark humor, mixed with very nice CGI and well, not so predictable ending.

We made a game, watching and predicting/betting who's gonna die next and how.

Very entertaining.

Screenplay good, acting very decent.

Solid 7 in my opinion.

Was worth waiting.

Was worth watching.

Final Destination: Bloodlines isn't going to pull a rabbit out of its undead hat, reinvent the horror wheel, or stake its claim as a genre-defining masterstroke-but that's not the point.

What it does do is breathe new life into a franchise that felt like it had run out of steam. Bloodlines is a solid sixth installment, packing the same patented "inevitable death" mechanics we know and (occasionally) love, but with enough fresh twists to keep die-hard fans from checking out.

If you never warmed to the idea of "death's design" calling the shots, this won't convert you. For everyone else, the film delivers brilliantly choreographed set pieces of grisly demise-think elaborate Rube Goldberg traps drenched in splatter FX-that hit the sweet spot between macabre creativity and good old-fashioned gore.

The biggest upgrade this time around is emotional buy-in: the victims aren't a bunch of arbitrary strangers thrown together by fate. Instead, Bloodlines builds sincere rapport with its core ensemble, giving each death a bit more narrative weight (and, yes, a smidge of pathos) before the inevitable payoff.

Unfortunately, the dialogue remains as thin as ever-flat exposition one moment, telenovela melodrama the next-reminding you that subtlety wasn't high on the call sheet.

On the plus side, the movie leavens the carnage with genuinely funny, ironically staged moments-many courtesy of Erik, whose over-the-top flair steals scenes from our so-called protagonist-and the delightfully absurd chain reactions (who knew the garbage truck could be such a menace?).

Even though the film trudges into its predictable finale with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball, Bloodlines is pure adrenaline: brutal, energetic, and darkly comedic. In other words, exactly what you paid for when you bought that Final Destination ticket.
