In Final Destination, Death works with the great canvas of ordinary life. That’s what makes these movies special, and the latest entry knows it.

Horror’s most ingenious death traps have returned to the big screen as “Final Destination Bloodlines” opens in theaters this weekend. The R-rated Warner Bros. and New Line horror has made $5.5 million in Thursday previews at the box office.

Now, after a 14-year break, the dark spectre has returned with Final Destination: Bloodlines, a riotous zap-in-the-pants of " Looney Tunes by Tom Savini" entertainment that needs to be enjoyed with as large a crowd of like-minded cinematic sadists as you can scrounge up.
