Now, ahead of its May release date, Warner Bros. Pictures has premiered the first official teaser trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines.

Watch the trailer below:

What The Final Destination: Bloodlines Trailer Means For The Movie

It Will Feature Some Gnarly Kills

The Final Destination: Bloodlines trailer features just one gnarly kill from the upcoming film, of which there are expected to be many more. The long-running franchise is famous for its wildly imaginative death sequences which are intricately designed like chain-reaction Rude Goldberg machines. The trailer teases just one of these kills, and in the franchise’s upcoming sixth installment, audiences can expect an escalation in the complexity and creativity of these lethal contraptions, promising an elaborate array of unpredictable death scenarios.

The trailer, and the тιтle itself, tease what audiences can expect from the latest sequel’s story. The trailer shows a tattoo artist inking himself a “Dad” tribute on his arm, though the film itself, according to its synopsis, follows a college student named Stefanie who, haunted by a relentless violent nightmare, returns home in search of the one person who may hold the key to ending the cycle and preventing her family’s horrific fate. The film’s tagline, “Death runs in the family,” also hints at its familial themes.
