Final Destination: Bloodlines VIOLENCE/GORE 10

 – A boy throws a penny off a tall building and it is sucked into a vent as it falls, it becomes lodged in a fan blade, when the blade frees itself the penny is shot into a gas pipe breaching it, it sprays gas, rivets pop out of beams and girders, a glass floor shatters and people fall to their deaths striking beams as they fall and spraying blood when they hit the ground below; people run in a panic and a woman’s dress catches fire, leaking gas explodes, a young boy watches as his mother is consumed in flames (we see her flesh blistering), people crowd onto stairs and the wall breaks away causing them to fall to the ground far below, as people crowd onto an elevator and one man is trapped in the door as it closes (the mechanism crushes him and we see blood and gore on the floor); one half of the top of the tower cracks and falls throwing people to the ground, a piano slides toward a woman bracing on a sheet of glass (she is crushed and falls through the glass and we see blood and gore), the piano crashes to the ground on top of a boy and blood splatters (we see a partial, blood-soaked jaw and teeth), a woman and a young boy are thrown and the woman’s engagement ring is caught between two nails in a wall, the flesh on her finger is peeled off and they fall to the ground with the woman hurtling toward a piece of metal (we assume that she was impaled) and a young woman screams in a lecture hall (she was having a nightmare); the young woman has this same nightmare several times and wakes up screaming.
► A man steps on a shard of glass with his bare foot, stumbles and falls back onto the ground as a lawnmower mows over his face and head spraying blood and gore all around and people nearby scream in horror. A woman is pushed into a garbage can, dumped into a garbage truck and trapped as the crusher closes; another woman tries to help her out and the first woman’s head is crushed and her arm is severed (we see blood gush and gore is seen when the arm is severed). A woman is stabbed through the face and head by a weather vane and blood spurts covering another woman’s face as she screams in terror.
► An MRI scanner whirs and lights come on inside the machine, an alarm rings when it goes into “research mode,” and anything metal nearby is drawn into the machine; a young man with several piercings stands nearby and the piercings are pulled out one by one (from his nose, nipples and genitals); he is slammed against the machine, a wheelchair pins him and then pierces through him bending him in half at the waist as he screams and blood gushes; another young man is pulled against the machine and he is stabbed through the head by a vending machine part (we see a lot of blood and brain matter). A fire starts in a cabin’s gutter, causing an explosion and a camper is tipped on its side into a pond causing the person inside to be trapped underwater in her jammed seatbelt; a teen boy is trapped under rubble and a woman is badly burned (we see charred flesh). A train derails and speeds off the tracks barreling through a town as a woman and a teen boy run away and are nearly crushed; they celebrate surviving and are each crushed by a tree trunk thrown off the train (blood splatters on the ground).
► A chain breaks loose from a ceiling fan and clips onto a young man’s nose piercing, and the young man tries to unhook the chin as he climbs on furniture and a display case as the chain shortens while being wrapped around the fan; a chemical solution spills on the floor, a lamp falls over and sets it on fire and causes an explosion and we hear the young man yell (we see him OK later). A woman is crushed under a falling power pole (blood sprays), and a teen boy uses a pocketknife to try to cut a seatbelt from a woman drowning; the blade closes on his finger cutting him (we see blood), and we see the woman drown (she is revived later).
► A young man with nut allergies eats peanut butter candy, he gasps for air as his windpipe closes, his face swells and he injects himself in the leg with an Epi-pen to stop the reaction. A camper is driven through a fortified gate and breaks it open. People crowd onto an elevator and the door gets stuck as it closes, the car creaks as it goes up a tower that we are told is nearly 500 feet tall and we see that it has a glass floor when a young boy on the elevator stomps on the floor; the elevator stops with a jerk. A woman rushes onto a stage and calls for people in the room to leave because the floor was about to break out from under them and she is escorted out by security. People dance on a glass floor nearly 500 feet above ground and a sharp object falls starting a crack in the glass. A woman dozes off behind the wheel and wakes with a start as other vehicles honk at her. A young man plays a video game with bloody images. A young woman drives and takes her eyes off the road, hitting a young man as he crosses in front of her (he rolls on the hood but is unharmed). A drinking glass breaks and a shard falls into a cooler filled with ice; we follow the shard into a drinking glass and onto the ground where a man steps on it and we see his bloody foot. People jump on a trampoline over an upturned rake getting dangerously close to the tines. A young man steps back into a road and a truck speeds by nearly hitting him. An autopsy is shown in progress and a body with its torso fully open is seen on a table with its bloody intestines and rib cage exposed.
► A woman drives to a remote area and finds a heavily fortified cabin with a tall fence and gates, spikes and barbed wire all around it; she enters and finds a woman that tells her about having cheated death. A woman pokes her finger with a rose thorn and we see a drop of blood. A young man searches a house for his pet turtle when it gets out of its enclosure and tells others to watch where they step. A boy throws a penny off the roof of a tall building and a police officer reprimands him saying that he could kill someone. A woman’s hat is blown off by winds while she stands on a lookout and she reaches over a railing to try to catch it. A woman struggles with a boy to take a penny out of his hand before he throws it over the side of a tall building. A woman describes death as relentless and never giving up on someone that might have cheated it by surviving. A woman says that she has cancer. People talk about cheating death by killing someone else and taking their remaining time, or dying and being revived. A remark is made about a woman having her face blown off. A woman driving a camper nearly pulls into a road in front of an 18-wheeler; it honks as it speeds by.
► A woman has her tongue pierced and we see the needle pressing through the flesh. A young man tattoos his own arm (we see the reddened flesh). A young man hits another young man in the groin and he groans in pain. A young man pounds on a vending machine when candy gets stuck in it, he tips the machine toward another young man and they struggle to get the candy (no one is harmed). A young man mocks a woman when she tells him that he is likely the next to die. A woman tells another woman, “I will murder you” when she wakes her up screaming from a nightmare.
