The article reflects on the impact of the 'Final Destination' film franchise as it marks its 25th anniversary with the release of 'Final Destination Bloodlines.' Notable for its visceral death scenes and the supernatural premise of Death as an unavoidable force, the films maintain a realistic approach to physics, as explained by stunt coordinator J.J. Makaro. With each installment, the franchise continues to evoke suspense and fear regarding various hazards, showcasing creative yet physically plausible deaths, exemplified by an intense MRI scene in the latest film.
Few contemporary movies have left audiences with images quite as visceral as the one that opens 'Final Destination 2,' one that has been making drivers avoid logging trucks on the freeway since 2003.
I was lucky to do the first one in the franchise, because we came up with what rules to make and the logic we would follow. Everything had to happen properly in the physical world.
It's all about trial and error... We came up with all the different processes for a death to work, then tested how things should move.
'Bloodlines' doesn't disappoint... with a particularly gnarly scene involving an MRI machine.
