Critics Consensus

The Final Girls offers an affectionate nod to slasher tropes while adding a surprising layer of genuine emotion to go with the meta amusement.

It does make for a fun movie night, as well as making me interested in seeing what Strauss-Schulson does next.

The downfall of The Final Girls is that it pretty much becomes the tired thing it makes fun of. And it doesn't do much for thrills.

Rated: 2/5

Finally! A slasher movie with both brains and heart, both intact.

Den of Geek

Deconstructs its chosen genre without the cynicism that could render an exercise such as this into simple, unengaging snark, and proves that it’s okay for the filmmakers to like their victims, right down to the final ones.

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

The Final Girls is a hidden gem that fits delightfully well into the subgenre of horror-comedy. It features witty dialogue, entertaining gags, and an underlying sense of emotional reverence.

THE FINAL GIRLS is playfully meta, simultaneously celebrating and subverting slasher tropes in an attempt to elevate the conventions. The movie gets caught in its own gimmicky rule-bound premise, however, and thereafter rushes through all the necessary tropes, which limits its success as either horror-comedy or social commentary, all while trying to elevate a more genuine mother-daughter drama. The result is just okay.

Taissa Farmiga did good in this movie and I really like the genre of horror and so her performance did pretty well I wish they did the sequel because at the end of the movie, there was Camp Blood Wing 2 cruel summer and I wish that they would continue it. Another thing that was part of this movie was that it is like I know what you did last summer and it is such an amazing franchise besides the I'll always know what you did that summer. to me, that movie was terrible and shouldn't have been made because nobody from the original and the sequel came back and I felt like that movie was a waste of production and money altogether. To me, The Final Girls was a great movie, and enjoyed every part of it.

The movie tries so hard to BE campy, and BE self-aware and over-the-top that it just didn't land very well a lot of the time. I didn't hate it, but I don't see myself coming back to it. - 🍅, don't see myself coming back to it.

The film turns 80's slasher clichés into entertainment and makes fun of itself, offering a great watch. Total popcorn fun. Taissa Farmiga is amazing as always.
