Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025)


 We end Final Destination week with the release of the sixth installment in the series, Final Destination: Bloodlines and as usual with the series, the kills are gory, laughable and even put you in a state of shock which is what you come to expect with these films. Final Destination: Bloodlines has that in it's opening scene. But once you get into the meat of the film itself, it doesn't have a good enough story. I'm a horror fan, plain & simple. Along with my wife, we laugh, we cringe, at the gore or kills in this series or any horror films we check out. At the same time, we do expect a good story in place and Final Destination: Bloodlines' story isn't all that great. Moments in the film the pacing goes off  and I found myself a little bored at times. I'm not expecting any groundbreaking or oscar nominated moments. Just a good story followed by the carnage. The film's emotional moment is seeing Tony Todd in his final performance as William Bludworth. The man looked really sick, but despite all that, he did a fantastic job.

Overall, The Final Destination series was a fun one to binge this week. But I truly hope they leave it be and don't do anymore. One thing I forgot to mention was the subtitle for the film "Bloodlines". I've seen this subtitle in many horror sequels and while it fits here, it's just a lazy title in my opinion.

Demon City (2025)

When one thinks of a title like Demon City. You're thinking to yourself, a Japanese horror flick?? No, it's an action flick. I was a little misled by the title, thinking it was a horror film because the dialogue in the film keeps referencing the word "demons" but as I continued to watch Demon City, I realized that it was a straight up action flick. I would say it's more of a Japanese knock-off of the John Wick franchise but more violent. The story has been done many times before. I guess people are used to cookie cutter plots. Don't get me wrong, I love action movies and I love Chinese, Japanese action flicks but sometimes they can be a little repetitive. Demon City is decent, but it's all been done before. 3/5

Clown in a Cornfield (2025)

Image
Every once in awhile, there's always a killer clown film that ends up being good, It, Clown... There's a few more but they escape me at the moment. Unfortunately, Clown in a Cornfield isn't a good film. Despite some cool kills and a interesting premise, there are two things that stood out to me when watching the film. The pacing was sluggish which tuned me out at times which is a shame because I really wanted to like Clown in a Cornfield. The script needed work which results in it's clunky pacing and if there's one thing I despise it's social media influencers. Every horror film I've seen has characters that are addicted to social media and all I want to say is a get a job. I can't stand them at all. But I'm trailing off here. Apparently, this is based on a book series and they are coming out with book 4. If they really want to do another film, I suggest writing a strong script to maintain the pacing or *shudder, a soft reboot of the film. I can'...

Alien Rubicon (2024)

Alien Rubicon has no affiliation with the Alien film series. It was made by one of my favorite studios, The Asylum who specialize in making knock-off movies of big budget Hollywood films. Most of the time they're better than the Hollywood film they're making fun of and Alien Rubicon is no exception. With it's bad CGI effects, bad acting, Alien Rubicon is a fun bad movie that tries to not be serious but you can't help but laugh at how bad it is. I grew up watching movies like these to laugh at and make fun of and now as I get older, I begin to appreciate bad movies more. 1/5
