Now, after a 14-year break, the dark spectre has returned with Final Destination: Bloodlines, a riotous zap-in-the-pants of " Looney Tunes by Tom Savini" entertainment that needs to be enjoyed with as large a crowd of like-minded cinematic sadists as you can scrounge up.

This was the central conceit of “Final Destination,” a 2000 horror movie, released just past the slasher movie renaissance that began with “Scream” in 1995, that went on to have a uniquely satisfying run all its own.

Common Sense Media also reviews “Duster,” “Forever” and “Overcompensating.” Ultra-gory horror franchise reboot misses originals’ appeal.
