Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
"The Final Girls" is never once scary, the effects are schlocky, and the action/fight scenes are confusing, especially one that takes place in a dark shack where it is impossible to tell what is happening.
The Final Girls is all smiles and winks, but lacks the blood to make its horror satire pulse.
A playful deconstruction of the slasher film that ultimately packs a surprisingly affecting punch.
A horror comedy that proves that with the right actors you can make an amusing movie even if a lot of your ideas are borrowed.
