Audience Reviews for The Final Girls

  • Mar 18, 2018
    Make a slasher movie that's about an R-rated slasher movie, then make that movie be PG-13? Solid weird ass choice. But whatever, The Final Girls is some proper fun.

    Amusing film-in-film horror comedy with a pretty fresh premise and good acting. Unfortunately, even within the movie's logic, not everything makes sense. You can see past that and have a decent time anyway, and there are some very fun ideas and insane camera angles. Other ideas are brushed over a little half-assed. Overall a decent attempt that could have turned into a classic with a little more care.

    I reckon this probably reads better as a script than how it plays as a film, but after a rough 15 opening minutes, this meta post-ironic horror slasher hits its stride with its deliberately woeful dialogue, stock characters and familiar horror conventions. It's also oddly touching. Plus Alia Shawkat is always fantastic. Sequel? **BONUS POINTS FOR BANANARAMA**

    Quite literally a B movie paying homage to B horror movies. There is truly nothing even remotely intelligent about making a satire out of B 80s horror movies because we already know why they're funny since we've already seen them.....get it???? Meta bullshit that sadly gets considered "a gem"...wtf???
