Definitely meets the high bar set by both Cabin in the Woods and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon in comedy-horror genre. A few actual scares (ok….well , at least, I jumped once or twice. Very original and creative use of all the standard horror movie tricks (i.e., music, flashbacks, etc.) and special effects. Really don't want to say too much because the movie was so much fun to watch and laugh. I will say though: Favorite scene - Tina on Adderalll doing her strip-tease dance. Hilarious. Watch and enjoy!… Expand

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started to watch this movie and by the end I was left surprised and to be quiet honest, very emotional. I'll never hear "Bette Davis Eyes" the same way again. A very touching moment in the film with Taissa Farmiga's character and her mother's character played Malin Åkerman meeting her demise by dancing to their favorite song, triggering the killer to step out of the darkness.… Expand

Despite the fact the special effects aren't great (and not on purpose), The Final Girls delivers as a smart and interesting horror/comedy. I really want there to be a sequel.

Caught this film on hulu and this film is a gem. It knows how absurd it is but its got alot of heart, solid character development and an interesting take on 80s slasher movies. Friday the 13th, especially.

I think the movieI love a good, campy slasher movie so I figured The Final Girls would be an excellent movie for me. The plot is really promising and for the most part it is a fairly entertaining film, but it could have been so much better. I think the movie relies too much on the comedy and not a lot of it is really that good. I had a few mere chuckles but The Final Girls is not going to make you laugh out loud and then it is not even slightly scary. The other downside to this film is that its rated PG-13 so it has very little gore or violence that we see in classic horror films. The cast is decent though and there are a few faces that you may recognize from other films. I liked the look of the villain but he wasn't really that badass and that is an essential in a movie like this. However, thumbs up for the music, which of course is modeled after the old Friday the 13th films.… Expand

Really good hidden gem, surprised it wasn't released to theaters (Maybe it was in some regions). The acting was great, there was something about the start of the movie that really got me. Very funny movie one of the funniest comedy horrors.

A satirical meta-slasher with some heart. The Final Girls is more than a horror spoof - it has layers and characters you actually care about. Some things many modern horror films take for granted.

This movie has a nice comedic cast and many interesting parts and is interesting to watch, but I was a bit disappointed about comedy parts of it as I thought it will be funnier.

Although the trailer didn't terribly excite me with the given premise of the movie, as a huge fan of Taissa Farmiga in particular, I knew it couldn't be that bad.

I was pleasantly extremely surprised at how great this movie turned out to be. The director, screen writers and casting directors sure knew what they were doing. This movie has some legit quality to it on every front despite the somewhat forgettable campy facade it initially misrepresents in its pitch. It kept my eyes glued to the screen throughout the entire film, never losing my interest and actually managed to evoke 3 very strong and different reactions out of me repeatedly. Literal jumpy knee jerk fear, bellowing frequent laughter and frog in my throat choked up foggy eyed and flowing tears. That doesn't happen too often within one movie much less as well as this one pulled off. Exceptionally well done coming from someone accustomed to consuming horror/crime entertainment and anything innovative and new in comedy... and who generally scoffs or passes at most "tear jerker" types of film because of how rarely the show/movie delivers on the genre it fell into. This is definitely a movie I would encourage people to see... especially those who might, much like I did, have any reservations, presumptions or doubt. This movie is worth watching.... shoot, I've already re-watched it 4 times. I think that stands as proof that it both has some serious mojo and better yet, doesn't lose any when seen again. Trust me, it will win you over.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O que vale é a criatividade e a sátira.
Amanda Cartwright (Malin Akerman, Watchmen), uma atriz de cinema que tenta estabilizar sua vida e carreira ao lado de sua filha Max (Taissa Farmiga, American Horror Story) após não conseguir nenhum papel importante depois do seu conhecido filme dos anos 80 “Camp Bloodbath” (e os mesmos faz traz referências e homenagens a filmes da época), até que Amanda acaba morrendo num acidente de carro, três anos depois, no aniversário de sua morte, seus fãs se reúnem para uma maratona do famoso filme numa sessão de cinema.

O que vem a seguir?

Max teria sua vida emocional e social totalmente abalada, seus amigos iam se esforçar ao máximo para a ver bem, tudo isso acontece, mas aqui o clichê converge para um ótimo filme.

Convencida pelo seu amigo Duncan (Thomas Middleditch, O Lobo de Wall Street) a participar de uma sessão, mesmo relutante Max aceita o seu pedido (óbvio) juntamente com seus amigos Gertie (Alia Shawkat, Garota Fantástica), Vicki (Nina Dobrev, The Vampire Diaries) e o garoto apaixonado Chris (Alexander Ludwig, Jogos Vorazes) e essa é a parte que somos remetidos para o filme do filme. Bebidas alcoólicas e cigarros não é uma combinação adequada numa sessão de cinema (jovens delinquentes), ambos foram suficientes para causar um incêndio. Na tentativa de fuga, Max consegue lascar a tela do cinema, que nessa fuga ela e seus amigos acabam dentro do filme.

Lá o grupo de amigos se encontram com elenco do filme, onde o assassino Billy Murphy (Dan B. Norris)lembra muito Jason Voorhees (seu passado conturbado marcado pelo bullying é o que motiva sua vingança, depois de sofrer queimaduras de 3º grau, desfigurado, cria uma máscara para esconder sua marcas.)

Perceberem a mitologia que segue o filme foi fácil, até que a protagonista Paula (Chloe Bridges, Pretty Little Liars) que mataria Billy no final do filme morre, e o previsível se torna imprevisível para eles que tem como missão arranjar uma nova final girls para finalmente saírem do filme.

Criatividade é o que não falta em “ The Final Girls” e isso que é notável e diferencia o filme. Recheado de uma sequência aonde todo tempo honra os clichês do gênero de terror, cada referência é muito bem feita e lembrada, antes da metade do filme satisfaz e te envolvente apenas com o toque do humor.

Certamente acertou em cheio, uma bela homenagem é feita à cada jogo de diálogos e cenas, onde não deixa a desejar apesar de seus momentos previsíveis. Até mesmo o seu elenco teen e conhecido não corrompe o filme, pelo contrário são carismáticos e convencem facilmente e o foco não é necessário para ambos apenas para o público.

O filme também carrega um ótimo jogo de cores vibrantes, uma trilha sonora digna de slashers, cenas hilárias e personagens que honram o seu papel (Tina). Uma obra autêntica.… Expand

A well made spoof on horror movies and their "rules". Throwing the past and present together into a comedy that makes fun of 80's horror movies tropes into a present day Groundhog Day meets Friday the 13th.

Simple and basic, but more entertaining than recent comedies, the concept of metafiction and that the action is situated in an environment of terror helps a lot.

This fun movie is another smart and meta take in horror movie tropes, and especially those set by Friday The 13th, and it made me laugh out loud as the differences between modern and 80's horror were constantly clashing.

Acting is brilliant with Adam Devine and the horror movie nerd being the most memorable. The relationship between the ‘final girl’ and her mother drives the story and their relationship is warming. The slasher tropes will appeal to a viewer of a certain age and will probably be lost on younger viewers although they will hopefully enjoy the comedy. This is good and very much reminiscent of Happy Death Day (2017) and Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) but sadly not as entertaining or memorable.… Expand
