Final Destination: Bloodlines Hits Cinemas on May 15 by Rave Staff 5 May 2025 Horror fans, brace yourselves. Death has a new beginning, and it’s more twisted than ever. New Line Cinema’s Final Destination: Bloodlines — the highly anticipated next chapter in the iconic horror franchise — is set to terrify regional audiences starting 15 May 2025. But for the brave and the bold, a special one-day-only sneak preview will take place on 9 May, giving die-hard fans an exclusive chance to witness the carnage before anyone else. Directed by Adam Stein & Zach Lipovsky , Final Destination: Bloodlines dives deeper into the chilling mythos of the series, peeling back the curtain on Death’s sinister design. This gripping origin story introduces a terrifying new layer to the franchise, raising the stakes for those who thought they understood the rules of fate. At the heart of the film is college student Stefani , played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana , who is tormented by a violent recurring nightmare. Haunted and desperate, she returns home in search of the one person who may hold the key to breaking the cycle and saving her family — before they fall victim to the gruesome fate that Death has planned. Joining Santa Juana is a strong ensemble cast including Teo Briones , Richard Harmon , Owen Patrick Joyner , Anna Lore , Brec Bassinger , and series veteran Tony Todd , whose presence signals a dark return to familiar themes and faces. The screenplay, written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor , is based on a story by Jon Watts , Busick , and Taylor , and promises to expand the franchise’s terrifying universe in bold, blood-curdling ways. Produced by Craig Perry , Sheila Hanahan Taylor , Jon Watts , Dianne McGunigle , and Toby Emmerich , the film is crafted by a team of seasoned horror veterans determined to deliver a nail-biting cinematic experience. From Christian Sebaldt’s atmospheric cinematography to Tim Wynn’s nerve-shredding score, Final Destination: Bloodlines is designed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats — and remind them that Death doesn’t forget, and it certainly doesn’t forgive. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the franchise, the upcoming release promises a gruesome, gripping ride into the origins of a horror legacy that has terrified audiences for over two decades. Mark your calendars: Preview screenings take place only on 9 May, with the full regional release following on 15 May. Fate is calling — will you answer?

These Horror Films Will Stay With You Long After the Credits by Rave Staff 10 Jun 2025 Horror is the one genre that doesn’t play fair. It knows exactly how to hit where it hurts — sometimes physically, sometimes psychologically. The best horror films don’t just frighten; they leave bruises. They stick with you long after the credits roll, echoing in your head while you brush your teeth or walk alone to your car at night. If you’ve ever paused a film “just to check your phone,” let’s be real — it was fear. But here’s the thing: a lot of horror is loud, lazy, and forgettable. Loud noise ≠ fear. Gore ≠ good horror. This list isn’t for people who flinch at every creaking door. It’s for the ones who chase the slow burn, the existential dread, the films that disturb you not because of what they show — but because of what they don’t. So here’s your updated, refined, no-fluff horror watchlist — a mix of modern psychological terrors, disturbing classics, and a few under-the-radar gems. All killer, no filler. Hereditary (2018) If you’ve somehow skipped this one, fix that. Ari Aster’s debut film is brutal in a way most horror movies never dare to be. It’s a story about grief, family, and the kind of evil that doesn’t show up in shadows — it’s already in the house. Toni Collette’s performance will rattle you. This isn’t horror you can turn off when it’s over. The Witch (2015) Set in 1630s New England, this slow-burn nightmare plays out like a folk tale told by someone who definitely didn’t make it out alive. No jump scares, no cheap thrills — just tension, isolation, and a sense that something is deeply wrong. If you’re patient, the payoff is chilling. It Follows (2014) One of the most original horror concepts in years. A supernatural curse that passes through sex and takes the form of a silent figure walking toward you — always walking. It’s paranoia on film. There’s no escape, no explanation, just a slow march toward inevitable dread. The Babadook (2014) Yes, it’s about a creepy childr en’s book. But this one goes deeper — into the kind of pain and mental collapse that can’t be exorcised. The monster is terrifying, sure. But what really stays with you is the raw, unfiltered fear of losing control — of your mind, your kid, your life. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) Still unmatched in how filthy, violent, and chaotic it feels. It’s less a film and more a full-body experience. The noise, the grainy footage, the sense that you’re watching something you shouldn’t — it all adds up. Leatherface isn’t just a villain — he’s a symbol of the breakdown of everything safe and familiar. Midsommar (2019) A breakup movie disguised as a horror film set in a sun-soaked cult. It’s bright, it’s floral, and it’s one of the most disturbing films in modern horror. The violence is ritualistic and slow, but it lands hard. It’s not just disturbing — it’s disorienting. Saint Maud (2019) This one doesn’t scream. It whispers. And that’s what makes it terrifying. A young nurse’s religious devotion spirals into something unholy. You watch her unravel in real-time, and by the time the final scene hits, it’s already too late. Quiet horror with a brutal edge. Sinister (2012) Found footage meets possession in this underrated gem. Ethan Hawke stumbles on Super 8 films of family murders, and things go downhill fast. The home videos are genuinely horrifying, but it’s the entity behind them — Bughuul — that lingers in your head long after. The Strangers chapter 1 & 2 Three people knock on the door. No motive. No warning. Just violence. This one hits because it feels real. You can’t rationalize it. You can’t explain it. And that one line — “Because you were home” — says everything about the kind of fear that doesn’t need a backstory. Audition (1999) Takashi Miike lures you in with a calm, even sweet, setup. Then he pulls the rug — hard. What begins as a quiet romance turns into one of the most violent, emotionally jarring final acts in horror history. It’s not easy to watch. But it’s unforgettable. This isn’t the list of Halloween popcorn flicks. These are the films that make you keep the lights on. Horror at its best doesn’t just shock — it reveals. It says something honest about fear, grief, loneliness, violence. Watch with caution. And maybe don’t watch alone. Featured image courtesy of Jakob Owens
