Are there any movies out there that parody the “Final Destination” film series?

I immediately found this:

> **The _Final Destination_ Parody in _Scary Movie (2026)_**
> 
> - **The Setting:** The 2026 comedy opens with a sequence that takes place in a deadly _Final Destination_ theme park.
> - **The Style:** The film uses fast jokes and one-liners to mock the elaborate, Rube Goldberg-style death traps that the horror franchise is famous

I am looking more for entire movies that pertain to the genre.

If you’ve done an entire parody of a _Final Destination_ movie, you’ve done a _Final Destination_ movie. The “Rube Goldberg-style death traps” are pretty much self-parodying.

That was what I was thinking. “Final Destination” is so OTT itself it’s nearly parody in its own right. Not that that’s a bad thing. I enjoyed #s 1, 2, and 5 in the series (haven’t seen Bloodlines), while I thought 3 and 4 were rather weak even by this series’ standards. There is a place in life for no-brainer entertainment. Not everything must be excruciatingly deep and profound True Art to be worth partaking of.
