Final Destination Bloodlines

In 1969, young Iris Campbell goes on a date to the grand opening of The View, a futuristic glass-floor tower restaurant. When a child drops a penny into a ventilation shaft, Iris experiences a premonition: the machinery fails, the structure collapses, everyone inside dies. She snaps out of it and forces an evacuation — the tower never falls, dozens survive who were never meant to. Iris soon realizes what she has done. Over the following decades, the survivors and their descendants begin dying in elaborate freak accidents, in the order they would have died that day. Iris spends the rest of her life in a fortified rural compound, obsessively documenting the deaths and connecting them to other disasters in the Final Destination timeline — Flight 180, the Route 23 pileup — convinced Death is clearing its backlog.

Present day: Stefanie Reyes, Iris's granddaughter, has been waking from violent recurring nightmares her whole life — a glass floor, an impalement, a woman she doesn't recognize. She tracks down Iris, whom her mother Darlene has long written off as obsessive and unstable. At the compound, the elderly and dying Iris shows Stefanie her notebook and lays out the full pattern. To prove it, Iris walks outside and allows a chain reaction to complete: a weather vane tears free and impales her through the mouth. She is dead before she hits the ground. Death now turns its full attention to Iris's remaining bloodline: Stefanie, her mother Darlene, and her teenage brother Charlie.

The family seeks out William Bludworth — Tony Todd's enigmatic coroner, now dying in a hospital — who was present at The View as a child and knows Iris's story firsthand. He confirms two known loopholes: kill someone not meant to die and inherit their remaining years, or die and be revived. He warns that exploiting either rule tends to make things worse. The family also learns that not all of them are on the list — Brenda (Darlene's wife) and Bobby (her brother) have no blood tie to Iris, and Erik (Darlene's older son, believed to be a blood relative) turns out to be the product of an affair and is not biologically in the line either.

Erik and Bobby devise a plan to test the revival loophole: Bobby will trigger anaphylaxis with a peanut and Erik will rush him to the ER to be brought back. At Hope River Hospital, the plan immediately unravels. The MRI machine overloads its magnet — Erik, covered in metal piercings and pushing a metal wheelchair, is violently pulled in and crushed to death. A vending machine coil launches like a projectile and impales Bobby through the head. Both men are killed. Neither was ever on Death's list, and the attempt to game the design kills two people who had no business being in the crosshairs.
