Review of The Final Girls (2015) by Conrad S — 08 Feb 2018
The Final Girls isn't great if you've never seen a slasher film, like me. I know that I'm definitely the minority here, but I don't think you should ever have to see other pieces of media to fully appreciate a different piece of media.
As it is, for me, The Final Girls is an incredibly average comedy, with some nice emotional overtones, dis-serviced by its awful story. All tension and suspense are lost as soon as we enter the world that isn't real.
We know which characters are going to make it, and how the film is going to end, from 20 minutes in. The aesthetics were very well done, and most of the physical comedy got a chuckle. Camera-work was experimental and very fun.
The soundtrack was also wonderful: probably the best part of the film. Overall a decent comedy, terrible horror, and ok film, but not worth the time spent watching.
