The Final Girls is a horror slasher flick we’ve all been waiting for. As she often does, Taissa Farmiga plays the relatable and unimpressed teenager, Max, that makes for a great protagonist that misses her mother and tries to save her.
On the anniversary of her mother’s death, Max attends the anniversary screening of the cult horror classic her mother was known for. During Max and her friend’s attendance, an accidental fire erupts in the theater forcing everyone to flee from one life-threatening situation into another. Finding themselves mysteriously trapped in the very movie they were just watching the only way to leave is survive till the final credits roll. Keyword, survive. Taking advantage of what they know, Max and her friends use their knowledge to do just that (or at least try to.)
In short, a slasher horror flick within a slasher horror flick. Cue the cliched summer camp setting and lost phone signal as this film follows after almost every scary movie trope from urban legend to death caused by unnecessary sex scene. Also, let’s not forget the signature theme playing once the killer is about to strike!
The Final Girls is hilarious and unforgettable, taking the horror movie genre to a different level. For those not too thrilled of horror, have no fear as the film’s consistent humor, and comedy shall settle any bubbling anxiety or sensitive stomachs that’ll mostly likely won’t make an appearance. Don’t worry, plenty of chuckles will be involved just as much blood and over the top screaming will be.
