The "Final Destination" franchise has always had a sick sense of humour. Somewhere between the hairspray fireball of 2006 and the acupuncture impalement of 2011, it found a rhythm: ordinary objects, operating according to the most banal physics, and conspiring to kill one in the most humiliating way possible. "Final Destination Bloodlines", the sixth and arguably most coherent instalment in the series, refines this formula while also taking a jab at our belief in logic and order. Directed with unhinged precision by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, and scripted by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, "Bloodlines" is a prequel-slash-sequel with both feet planted firmly in absurdity and emotional gravitas.
