There are some well-known elements thatFinal Destination Bloodlineshas to include as part of the saga, but there’s a sneaky one that’s easy to miss but needs to be included, as it’s the smartest clue to Death’s design. As the trend of reboots and long-awaited sequels in the horror genre continues to be quite popular, one of the franchises joining it this year isFinal Destination. Fourteen years afterthe surprise prequelFinal Destination 5, the saga is returning with a sixth movie, titledFinal Destination Bloodlines, directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein.
Final Destination Bloodlinesis changing the saga’s formulaa little bit, following a college student who is being haunted by a recurring nightmare of her family’s demise. Because of this, she decides to return home to find the only person who can prevent such tragedies: her grandmother, who years ago had a catastrophic vision that allowed her to save many lives, but Death might be coming after them now.Final Destination Bloodlineshas to check some boxes to feel like part of the saga, including one that many viewers might not have noticed before.
The “Song of Death” Announces The Deaths Of Some Targets
TheFinal Destinationmovieshave clues to when a character is about to die as part of Death’s design and what their death is going to be like, though they always end up being surprisingly creative. These have become requirements in theFinal Destinationmovies and are a big part of the movie’s appeal, as the audience catches these clues at the same time as the characters – however, there’s another big but subtle, yet very clever clue in everyFinal Destinationmovie that is easy to miss: the “song of Death.”
This song (or sometimes more than one) plays at different points in theFinal Destinationmovies to announce Death’s arrival, and, in most cases, the song has some relation in its lyrics or backstory to the initial disaster of each movie.Final Destinationhas John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High”, which plays before Tod, Ms. Lewton, and Carter’s death. John Denver died in a plane crash, and a plane accident is what triggers the events ofFinal Destination. The first sequel has AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell” as its song, very fitting with the initial pile-up at the beginning of the movie.
Final Destination Subtly Showed How 3 Characters Would Die (& You Probably Missed It)
Before and shortly after the plane’s explosion, Final Destination subtly and cleverly showed how three of Alex’s friends would end up dying.
Final Destination 3has “Turn Around, Look at Me”, which doesn’t have a connection to the initial premonition, but specific lines play at specific moments, such as when Wendy and Kevin are about to be killed by an incoming driver-less truck.The Final Destinationdoesn’t have a specific song playing throughout the movie, but Carter dies while “Why Can’t We Be Friends” plays and ShineDown’s “Devour” is also used. Last but not least,Final Destination 5has “Dust in the Wind”, alluding to the bridge collapse, and it plays during and after Sam’s premonition and when he boards the plane at the end.
Final Destination Bloodlines Might Have Already Revealed Its “Song of Death”
Final Destination Bloodlines Could Have One Or More Songs Related To Death
With all that in mind,Final Destination Bloodlinesmust have at least one “song of Death” too, and it might have already been revealed. Thefirst teaser trailer forFinal Destination Bloodlinestakes place at a piercing and tattoo shop, where Erik (Richard Harmon) is getting ready to close the store. At the beginning of the trailer, he mentions that his father just died, and now he’s being forced to stay until late to close. Before he does,he plays Air Supply’s “Without You”as he gets “DAD” tattooed on his arm.
Given that family plays a big role inFinal Destination Bloodlines, “Without You” could be a fitting “song of Death.”
After that, Death’s plan is set into motion, and a series of strange incidents lead to Erik being burned alive. Given that family plays a big role inFinal Destination Bloodlines, “Without You” could be a fitting “song of Death” – and if not, at least it will be Erik’s death song. If it’s not this song,Final Destination Bloodline’s “song of Death” might not be revealed before the movie’s release, so it’s another reason to pay extra attention to all the details in the movie.
