Review of The Final Girls (2015) by Ydnar4 — 31 Dec 2015

I 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.
