I’m off to go watch Final Destination Bloodlines again.
Yeah yeah I know. I’m a nerd.
Even though the majority of horror films are considered B rated garbage.
I have always been a fan of horror because of how versatile the genre can be.
I wrote a massive post about this years ago about how you can have everything inside of a horror film from romance, action, mystery and drama. With everything in between and still end with incredible horror and it just felt okay.
Now if you take any of the other books/movies out there and tried to mix some horror into it. It just wouldn’t land.
It’ll feel out of place. Imagine trying to take Pride and the Prejudice and horror-fy it.
Holy shit would it be bad. There’s no swinging that back around into some romantic/drama after people were brutally savaged.
The point is. We’ve all got some horror in our lives. The extent of it won’t be as wild as the movies make it out to be (unless it is, cause damn, you should probably write more about it tbh) but we can always turn it around to share an uplifting message or at the very least. Inspire someone.
And in Bloodlines. Tony Todd did just that. From Candyman to The Crow to Final Destination his presence was felt.
He made those films great, no matter how wild they were at the time.
And while I’m watching it again. I’ll have to try my best to not shed some tears as the dedication from the team and the message he had via his final bit hit hard.
R.I.P to the legend himself.
I’ll catch you all later.
