The success of Final Destination: Bloodlines also signals a robust revival for a series that had been on hiatus since Final Destination 5 in 2011, which grossed $157 million worldwide. IGN’s review of Final Destination: Bloodlines awarded it an 8/10, praising its blend of horror and comedy: "Final Destination: Bloodlines amps up the absurdity of Death’s design, and the resulting horror-comedy will have you dying laughing."
