Brec Bassinger Faces The Final Destination
“There are three things in this movie specifically that I can never look at the same,” says Brec Bassinger in a new interview with Schon Magazine, teasing the hair-raising surprises she encountered on the set of Final Destination: Bloodlines. Known for her roles on Stargirl and Bella and the Bulldogs, Bassinger brings a fresh dose of fearless energy to this latest installment in the cult-classic thriller series.
Three Scenes She Can’t Unsee
Bassinger—who stars alongside a cast of rising horror talents—reveals that the stakes in Bloodlines were higher than ever. She labels one sequence a “cosmic villain showdown,” another an intricate cheating-death moment, and a third so twisted that even the crew reacted in disbelief. Each scene pushed her adrenaline into overdrive, she recalls, adding that the technical craftsmanship by directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky was both creative and chilling.
From Cosmic Foes To Death-defying Escapes
On Instagram, Bassinger hinted at her on-set jitters. In a post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ2SmgiPfNI/) she joked, “Cool cool cool. Totally calm. Totally not freaking out. @finaldestinationmovie 🔥 xo,” capturing the mix of excitement and terror that defined her shoot days. A later update (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJuo8KGPgHJ/) celebrated the film’s release and thanked Stein, Lipovsky, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. and her on-screen partner Max Lloyd Jones for their support and camaraderie.
Building A Horror Legacy
Final Destination: Bloodlines opens nationwide May 16, delivering its signature blend of over-the-top death scenarios and elaborate set pieces. Bassinger’s turn marks her first leading role in a major horror franchise, and she admits the experience has reshaped her view of everyday objects—especially those featured in the film’s most shocking moments.
According to her Schön Magazine interview, the sequence that haunts her most involves a seemingly ordinary glass dance floor. “I’d dance with you on a glass dance floor any day,” Bassinger wrote of Jones on Instagram, but admits that shooting the breakaway effect was equal parts fun and nerve-racking.
A New Chapter In Horror
At 24, Bassinger has already clocked more than a decade of acting work, from guest turns on Nickelodeon to her breakout on DC’s Stargirl. Her leap into horror taps into a long tradition of genre performers who bring both vulnerability and strength to their roles. She credits her background in physical training and stunt prep for helping her endure long hours of practical effects and tangled set pieces.
Behind the scenes, the creative team included fashion by Sarah Slutsky, hair by Jerome Hair and makeup from Seiya Makeup using MAC Cosmetics. Photographer Alvin Kean Wong captured Bassinger’s on-set energy for the magazine spread, highlighting both her playful side and her ability to sell a scream.
Bassinger’s growing fan community has responded to her genre switch with enthusiasm. On the official Final Destination Movie account, comments range from “Can’t wait to see you survive—or not!” to “Your scream is next-level.” Horror aficionados, she says, have been welcoming and eager to dissect every twist.
For anyone curious about the three scenes that left her looking over her shoulder, the full interview is live now on Schön Magazine’s website. Bassinger encourages viewers to approach Bloodlines with an open mind—and maybe keep the lights on.
Whether you’re a devoted horror fan or a casual moviegoer, Final Destination: Bloodlines promises a roller-coaster of inventive scares—anchored by an actress whose fearless energy makes every jump scare count.
