What’s Final Destination: Bloodlines about?
Just as she’s about to leave home for college, 18 year old Stefani, who’s been having horrific nightmares about dying in a tower accident in the 1960s, discovers that her dream is actually a premonition that happened to her grandmother, Esther, who thwarted death fifty years ago .
Stefanie learns that though her grandmother thwarted Death (until she died in her 80s), Death has been going after the would-have-been victims of that long-ago catastrophe, killing them off and then going after their children. Stefani and her family realize that their bloodline isn’t safe from Death, who will take them violently and gruesomely, in order, unless someone like Stefani figures out a way to stop it.

Final Destination Franchise:
So far, the Final Destination horror movies have centred on people who have premonitions of a plane crash, multi-car freeway pileup, roller coaster crash, racetrack stands collapse and bridge collapse, who then cheat their own deaths, as well as saving other lives in the process, only to have Death come for them all in the end — one by one.
In Final Destination 5 (2011), Vancouver’s Lions Gate Bridge starred as the collapsing bridge.
Death returns to claim the lucky survivors of a deadly bridge collapse in this fifth frightening nstallment in the series.
