New 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Trailer Unveils Gruesome Death by Nose Piercing

Fourteen years after the blood-soaked spectacle of "Final Destination 5," fans are in for a spine-chilling treat with the unveiling of the trailer for the newest chapter in the long-standing horror franchise, "Final Destination: Bloodlines," just in time for the series' 25th anniversary.

Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, known for their work on 2018's "Freaks" and "Kim Possible," the sixth installment features a script penned by Guy Busick ("Scream VI") and Lori Evans ("Lucky Dog"). Lipovsky and Stein make their debut in the "Final Destination" universe, continuing the tradition of injecting fresh perspectives with each new directorial team.

The trailer sets a grim tone as it showcases a tattoo artist performing a painful tongue piercing on a client before embarking on his own tattoo journey. Oblivious to the unfolding chain of events, the artist meets a tragic demise. A chain descends from the ceiling, latches onto the man's nose ring, entangles with a fan, and hoists him up by the nose, all while a fire rages below. As the tension mounts, the ceiling fan gives way, hurtling the artist into the inferno.

While specific plot details of "Final Destination: Bloodlines" remain shrouded in mystery, the trailer hints at a continuation of the franchise's signature blend of ominous premonitions and gruesome fatalities. The ensemble cast includes Brec Bassinger ("Stargirl"), Teo Briones ("Chucky"), Kaitlyn Santa Juana ("The Flash"), Richard Harmon ("The 100"), Owen Patrick Joyner ("Julie and the Phantoms"), Anna Lore ("Gotham Knights"), Max Lloyd-Jones ("The Book of Boba Fett"), Rya Kihlstedt ("Obi-Wan Kenobi"), and Tinpo Lee ("The Manor").

The "Final Destination" saga kicked off in 2000, revolving around young individuals who foresee impending fatal events in their lives, whether aboard a plane or a roller coaster. Collectively, the franchise has amassed close to $700 million in global box office earnings.

While the fifth installment concluded with a surprising revelation that it was a prequel to the preceding films, the nature of "Final Destination: Bloodlines" remains ambiguous—whether it serves as a direct sequel or a complete franchise reboot.

Fans can mark their calendars for the theatrical release of the film on May 16, courtesy of Warner Bros. Dive into the trailer below for a glimpse of the terror that awaits.
