Craig Perry, the producer of the “Final Destination” franchise films, found that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. Creating the fourth installment of the series was an interesting experience for Perry, although he admitted it wasn’t his favorite movie. Despite his initial thoughts that it would be the final film, the unexpected success of the movie during its opening weekend surprised him.
Attending the World Premiere of “Final Destination Bloodlines” in Hollywood, California, in 2025, Perry shared his candid thoughts about the franchise. He expressed his disappointment in the fourth film, stating that he didn’t think it was good at all and that it actually sucked. However, the success of the movie paved the way for the opportunity to redeem themselves with the fifth installment.
The horror series, which began in 2000 with “Final Destination,” has seen several sequels, including “Final Destination 2,” “Final Destination 3,” “The Final Destination,” and “Final Destination 5.” The sixth film, “Final Destination Bloodlines,” was released in 2025. As the franchise continued to evolve, Perry’s reflections on the ups and downs of the production process shed light on the creative challenges faced by the team.
