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.

A young girl (Taissa Farmiga) continues to mourn the loss of her mother (Malin Akerman), an 80s horror actress that died in a car accident. She gets pulled into one of her mother's famous films and gets a chance to reconnect. I saw the preview for this pre-release and thought it had potential. Then, I don't think it made much of an impact. I literally had to search with the plot to figure what the title was. This is a hidden gem. It takes slasher tropes and adds the emotional weight of loss of a loved one. It's witty, more comedy than horror, and very thoughtful Recommended

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A great movie that is both funny and scary. While it doesn't appeal much to the hardcore slasher fans, the fact that it still managed to get so far with a parody of Jason Voorhees shows some dedication.

Good premise, good execution, good use of dated phrases, good acting, and overall an enjoyable little movie. The ending was very classic. Stuck to the formal.

If you’re a fan of typical Slasher Tropes, you’ll love this movie. While a bit predictable at times, still worth a watch for slasher fans.
