When it comes to Final Destination, Death doesn’t just knock. It orchestrates a symphony of chaos with everyday objects, breaking down the door! In Bloodlines, the franchise doubles down on what it does best: making you terrified of ceiling fans, garden hoses, or any mundane object lying around.
If there’s one thing Final Destination: Bloodlines proves, it is that Death has absolutely zero chill. The kills are wild, twisted, and somehow make you afraid of situations like a backyard barbecue or a trip to the tattoo parlor. In an interview with the film’s co-director, Zach Lipovsky, he revealed how these beautifully unhinged death scenes are pieced together and how all of it begins with the question:
“How can we ruin something completely normal forever?”
From there, it’s pure chaos, creativity, and a lot of trial and error. Speaking to Discussing Film, Lipovsky said,
"It often starts with this idea of, what can we ruin for people in a Final Destination movie? It has to be things that we've all experienced and we see every day in our lives. How could you take that and make it so demented that you can never look at it the same way again and never go to that place or use that thing ever again?"
He then opened up on the process that goes behind brainstorming the ideas, and how each idea is expanded, as he continued,
"It takes years of brainstorming and collaborating with the writers and the producers and all the department heads. And a lot of it comes from the environment like once you kind of land on. Okay, it's going to be a backyard or it's going to be a tattoo parlor. Then you just list every object in that space. How could you use those? What would be the most visceral? How could they interconnect and you just, it? It just goes around, and around."
Lipovsky gave an example of a fire extinguisher rolling down the porch, which in theory sounds plausible, but as you research more, you realise that it is impossible since the nozzle prevents it from rolling more than once, and how with each department/scenario, it is a practice of trial and error.
Final Destination: Bloodlines had some of the most disturbing deaths in the franchise
Final Destination: Bloodlines doesn't just revisit the franchise's legacy; it amplifies it with some of the most disturbing deaths yet. One standout is Erik's death during an MRI scan, a scene proposed by actor Richard Harmon himself. His character's extensive body piercings become the catalyst for a fatal chain reaction, showcasing the film's commitment to turning everyday scenarios into nightmarish experiences.
The film's directors, Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, aimed to craft some of the gnarliest deaths in franchise history. They meticulously studied previous installments to analyze patterns and techniques that effectively delivered suspense and horror. This research culminated in the creation of a special IMAX version of the film, featuring expanded aspect ratios during key scenes to visually signal the "arrival of death".
