Spoiler alert! We’re discussing the ending of “Final Destination Bloodlines” (in theaters now). Stop reading now if you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to know.
“Final Destination Bloodlines” might be the series’ first film to make fans cry.
The new entry in the long-running horror franchise serves as a swan song for Tony Todd, the beloved “Candyman” star who died last November at age 69. Todd has played mysterious mortician William Bludworth going back to the original 2000 “Final Destination” and he posthumously returns one last time in “Bloodlines” to provide advice about cheating death.
But in a poignant final scene, Todd’s character reveals he’s sick and is retiring in order to make the most of his remaining days before death comes for him. “Life is precious,” he says, adding that it’s essential to enjoy every moment because you never know when you’re going to die.
