Andrew M I enjoyed the s*** out of this movie! "The Final Girls" is a delightful surprise in the horror-comedy genre. I had a blast watching it, and I was entertained from the beginning to the end. It doesn't just settle for cheap scares or low-hanging comedic fruit; it offers a witty deconstruction of '80s slasher films without a hint of cynicism. This movie stands out for its charm and heart. It's a fun watch for a movie night, and I found myself genuinely interested in what director Todd Strauss-Schulson will do next. The film strikes a great balance, poking fun at horror tropes while showing affection for its characters—even those destined to meet a grisly end. One of the highlights is its sharp, funny dialogue and entertaining gags that keep the humor flowing. It manages to blend nostalgia with fresh ideas, capturing the essence of old slasher films while adding a layer of emotional depth that caught me off guard. It’s a hidden gem that fits perfectly into the horror-comedy niche, and its unique blend of genres makes it more than just a parody. Sure, it has its moments of predictability and some logic holes, but that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment. The film's playful send-up of '80s horror, complete with carefully selected costumes and décor, creates an authentic vibe that horror fans will appreciate. If you love '80s slashers, meta-horror, or just want a movie that can make you laugh and feel a bit nostalgic, "The Final Girls" is worth checking out. It's a sappy, slasher comedy that delivers on its promises and then some. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Logan D 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 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Cudalbu R 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review 3am3ii 3 It was a good movie and wish they could have done a second movie.
