Final Destination Bloodlines currently beats The Amateur 60–40
Death's elaborate machinery edges out espionage's careful construction.
The Verdict Class of 2025
The Final Destination franchise's formal innovation — making the kill sequence itself the narrative unit, each death a self-contained short film with its own setup, misdirection, and payoff — gives Bloodlines a structural advantage in bracket voting. Each sequence is independently memorable. Hawes's Amateur builds its tension cumulatively, the payoffs arriving late and depending on everything that came before. Cumulative storytelling rewards commitment. Sequential storytelling rewards attention. The lead says attention is easier to capture than commitment in a format where the vote happens once, not across a runtime.
