Final Destination Bloodlines Star Posts Spoiler
In case you missed it, the much-anticipated sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise, Final Destination Bloodlines, was finally released in theaters on Friday — a staggering 14 years after the last movie came out. As you can imagine, horror fans couldn't have been more excited to be getting a new story with the now-infamous Final Destination concept of a group of people cheating death, only for death to catch up with them and kill them in bizarre and gruesome ways. The first movie came out way back in 2000, and followed Devon Sawa's character, Alex, after he had a premonition that the plane he and his classmates were on was going to explode — leading to a bunch of them to get off the plane and suffer grisly deaths after the plane did, indeed, kill everybody who had remained on board. If you're struggling to remember, Final Destination 2's premonition was a traffic accident, the third film was a rollercoaster accident, the fourth a car race accident, and the fifth a traffic accident on a bridge. And as the films went on, the deaths became more and more creative; who can forget the two women who burn to death after getting trapped in a tanning bed? Or the guy who exploded after his butt got sucked into a pool drain? I'm sure I don't even need to remind you of the highway incident that left a generation of people terrified to drive behind a logging truck. All of this to say that the character deaths are a pretty big deal in this particular movie franchise, and while it's pretty safe to assume that every character in each film is going to die, the when and the how of it all is always a surprise. It's also worth noting that not every character does die. For example, in the second movie, Kimberly and Thomas find a way to interrupt death's plan and escape their fate — meaning that it's not totally unreasonable for viewers to think that a character may find a similar loophole and survive. Which is why when actor Brec Bassinger, who stars in the latest movie, posted a TikTok about her character Iris's death on the literal day of Bloodlines release, people weren't happy. For reference, Iris is this movie's 'visionary,' aka the lead character who has the premonition at the start of the film. Taking to her TikTok page on Friday, 25-year-old Brec hopped on the app's latest audio trend, which is taken from the new Death Becomes Her musical. This trend involves users lip-syncing to the lyrics: 'That was rude, that was pretty fucking rude,' with the post's text detailing something that the user is offended about. In this case, Brec expressed her disappointment that she didn't get to act out an epic Final Destination death in the movie, writing: 'When you get cast in a massive movie franchise about crazy unalivings, and they unlike the actor playing older you - not you.'She added in the post's caption: 'No death nor potential sequel ??? Rude. JK I love iris and am so proud of this movie - Happy FD day 🩸❤️ May 16!! Out now in theatres and @IMAX' Ironically, other TikTok users found Brec's video pretty rude, with one popular comment reading: 'The movie drop today and ACTORS are already spoiling their own movie? What a crazy media world we live in now😅🤣' 'Damn I didn't expect immediate spoilers from one of the actors 😭🙏' another one more echoed: 'holy spoilers and its been out 12 hours,' and someone else added: 'I get it… you're an actor in a big franchise and you're excited but spoilers?! really?! 🙄🤣'However, some sprang to Brec's defense, arguing that finding out somebody dies in Final Destination isn't exactly a 'spoiler.' One wrote: 'ppl complaining abt 'spoilers' it's final destination???? that's literally the entire movie?''guys pretty much everyone dies in all of the final destination movies that's why it's called final destination, death catches up is the whole point,' another wrote.'Somebody else argued: ''spoilers🤓' ITS FINAL DESTINATION WE ALL KNOW EVERYONE DIES💔💔' But, as previously mentioned, some past characters actually have managed to escape death through clever plot twists — and now we know that this will not be the case for Iris.

Brec Bassinger shares favourite death sequence in Final Destination franchise
Fifteen years after the last chapter closed, Death has found a new way back. 'Final Destination: Bloodlines', the sixth instalment in the beloved supernatural horror franchise, arrives with a chilling premise and a fresh cast — including 'Stargirl' alum Brec Bassinger, who promises this time, 'the fear cuts a little deeper.'Brec calls her casting in the film quite 'surreal,' in an interview with India Today Digital. 'I've done a lot of different things, but this film and franchise in particular — it's like my generation grew up watching it,' Brec tells us. 'My peers are all so excited about it. I have two older brothers who are dying to go see the movie and have watched all of them, so to get to be a part of something that people want to go see in theatres is so exciting to me.'advertisementDirected by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B Stein, with a screenplay by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor from a story developed alongside 'Spider-Man: Homecoming's' Jon Watts, 'Bloodlines' is a direct sequel to 2009's 'The Final Destination'. This time, the film traces a premonition passed down generations, starting in 1968, with a college student (played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana) discovering her grandmother once escaped death during a tower collapse. The chilling twist? Her entire bloodline was never supposed to exist. Bassinger plays a key role in this cursed family tree, caught in a web of inevitable doom. But despite being a long-time fan of the series, she wasn't quite prepared for the sheer scale of the production. 'I was not prepared or did not know how big the production was,' she recalls. 'Our sets were massive. They built a whole skyview restaurant on a soundstage. I remember just walking in and seeing the size and grandness of the sets — I had never experienced that before.'advertisementThough 'Final Destination' films are known for their creative, chain-reaction deaths, Bassinger says the fear in this one is more grounded — precisely because it hinges on the universal, inescapable truth of mortality.'That's the biggest draw of fear with this particular franchise,' she says. 'A lot of horror films are like, 'Ah, ghosts, they're not going to mess with me.' But Death is something we can't cheat. We can't escape it. So, it's hard to disconnect from the fear this movie brings.'She still remembers the one death scene from the franchise that left an indellible impression. 'The gymnastics scene,' she says without hesitation. 'I've had clips of that pop up on my TikTok and Instagram. I guess it's because I watched it once all the way through, so now it pops up all the time. And every time I see it, I'm like 'ugh', it's scarred me.'Filming 'Bloodlines' came with its own high-stakes moments too. 'In the film it's half a second. You blink, you miss it,' she says. 'But on set, it was so scary to me. They blow fire at this guy who's already on fire, and I had to duck behind the bar. I was like, what if I duck at the wrong time? And they were like, 'Just don't duck at the wrong time.' So, I'm no longer acting — I'm genuinely just scared for my life.'advertisementShe adds, 'With the fire stuff, we only wanted to do one take because they were actually setting people on fire. I felt this pressure to get it perfect — not only to not get burnt, but also because this guy was having to be set on fire. So, I'm really proud of that moment.'When asked who she'd want to come back to as if she had to be reborn in the 'Final Destination' universe, she immediately responds, 'Totally biased, but I'm gonna say Ali Larter. Just because I think she's such a boss, cool woman. So, I choose her.'With a legacy cast that includes Tony Todd, and a fresh cast led by Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Richard Harmon, 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' reboots the franchise with emotional depth, high-concept horror, and plenty of Watch

Brec Bassinger on joining Final Destination: ‘I've never lived in a world without it'
When Final Destination first hit theaters in March 2000, actor Brec Bassinger was still an infant—barely ten months old. Now, 25 years later, she's stepping into the iconic horror franchise as the lead in Final Destination: Bloodlines. For Brec, it's more than just a role—it's a surreal moment of stepping into a cinematic legacy that's existed her entire life. Brec Bassinger in a still from Final Destination 'I literally don't know life without Final Destination. It's been around forever, so getting cast in it felt completely unreal,' she says, reflecting on what it means to join the long-running series. Her connection to the franchise runs deeper than being a lifelong fan. Years before Bloodlines, Brec worked with co-director Adam Stein on a pilot. Even more fittingly, she starred opposite Ali Larter—one of the original Final Destination leads—in the thriller The Man in the White Van. During that shoot, Brec remembers peppering Ali with questions about filming horror, especially the scary stuff. 'I was so curious about what it was like behind the scenes,' she shares. In the new film, Brec plays Iris, a young woman on a date in 1969 when things quickly spiral into a classic Final Destination-style disaster. Before chaos erupts, there's a joyful moment: Iris and her date Paul are dancing to Shout by The Isley Brothers at the Skyview Tower, caught up in the energy of the night. The filming of that sequence turned out to be one of Brec's most cherished memories from the shoot. 'We were dancing for two days straight,' she recalls, smiling. 'Those were honestly some of the most fun moments on set. You can't help but feel good when you're jumping around like that,' she adds. But the upbeat mood didn't last long. As the scene turns dark, Brec says she now associates the song with sheer panic. 'I'd downloaded Shout before filming so I could learn the moves. But now, when it plays, I have to skip it. It takes me right back to that moment—the screaming, the chaos, the blood. It's burned into my brain,' she says.
