"The Final Girls" is never once scary, the effects are schlocky, and the action/fight scenes are confusing, especially one that takes place in a dark shack where it is impossible to tell what is happening. October 9, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The gender commentary is still on point, and The Final Girls successfully disembowels its target trope. But it works better as film criticism than it does as a film. October 8, 2015 | Full Review…

...it's an inoffensive way to spend an hour and a half, but this slavish dedication to playing around with convention ruins the film's potential as a sharp critique of gender roles in Hollywood, not just horror. July 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's disappointing to watch it coast along on its own concept rather than try, well, anything remotely interesting or subversive. May 24, 2019 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Combining the meta-horror of Scream and the jumping-through-the-screen plot of Pleasantville, The Final Girls offers an inventive and playful send-up of 1980s slashers. December 7, 2018 | Full Review…

As edgy as the humor is, the film never feels truly dangerous, though the combined efforts of Strauss-Schulson, Fortin and Miller to work within certain parameters actually appears to have led to more creative solutions rather than dull their blades. November 15, 2018 | Full Review…
