Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
AverageJoesDriveInPodcast For me, this is a movie that's just about perfect. There's a good blend of comedy, drama and it's full of surprises. It's a horror movie at heart, but not in a serious way. I love the concept and execution behind it. The acting is great. The actors pull out the right emotions and are very believable in their portrayals of their characters. Taissa Farmiga is especially good as Max and nails the emotional turmoil and struggle she's going through with her performance. The film looks great, the FXs are excellent and it flows at a nice even pace. The song choices they chose are perfect. There isn't much I don't like about the film. The only area it might have felt a bit more genuine in the time period of film it was the lack of Nudity or Gore. Those were staples of that time period. I get it, they were trying to appeal to a larger audience, but it just seems a bit suspect those were two things that were absent. No, it doesn't have to be there to make the film work, but it's also a huge part of that era. Other than that, this film pushes all the right buttons.This currently sits at number 18 on my all-time favorite horror movies list. While it's not a true horror film, it has enough elements that I qualify it as such. A pseudo-horror if you will. If you love 80's slasher fare or horror in general from that decade this one's worth checking out. My Rating: 8.5/10
tangreat-bk Interesting premise but it's not intelligent enough to pull it off.
acidburn-10 The plot follows a young girl grieving at the loss of her mother a former 80's scream queen, so she and her friends go to see the movie she was in and gets sucked into the screen and end up battling the killer themselves along with the stars inside the movie.This movie was a great satire to 80's slasher movies, with tons of tributes and homage's sprinkled throughout, most notably to Jason from Friday The 13th and would definitely highly recommend this to any fans of 80's slashers or just any type of horror in general. The story has a really cool concept with the cast getting sucked into the movie and the two different generations of teens interacting with each other, which was really fun and really boasts some interesting contrasts. Plus there were a surprising amount of emotional scenes in this movie, which made for a nice change and they totally worked, which was thanks to the strong cast of actors which really adds depth to this and made for an unexpected but welcome change.Even by technical stand point this movie has some of the best cinematography that I've seen in a while, with some amazing camera work that you don't usually see in these types of movies. Even the lighting was fantastic which really helps set the mood for the movie, with the mixtures of colours that reflect the situations in each scene, which I thought was interesting and worked really well in the movie's favour. The style of horror mixed with comedy really balances out quite well and you can tell that the cast was having a blast and especially at pointing out the horror movie clichés and just running with them.The acting was fantastic with some real strong female leads with Taissa Farmiga who I'd loved on American Horror Story and was equally as great here, she was definitely up to the task and becomes a total bad-ass towards the end and it was nice to see her do something different, definitely a talent to be watched. Malin Ackerman who played her mother was also great their mother daughter relationship really worked well and they had great chemistry together which was the emotional backbone of this movie. Alexander Ludwig was really likable as the boyfriend and male lead. Adam Devine was hilarious and was a definite standout, but wasn't in it long enough. Finally Thomas Middleditch was great as the horror fan boy and made for a great comic relief. In fact the entire cast gave decent and well rounded performances.Although there are a few minor bad points to this though, such as the pacing towards the end was very slow and did kind of sag in places, while I get they were building up suspense for the last act, but it did just go on a bit too long and could have maybe been trimmed down a tad. Plus because of the rating of this movie did feel watered down as we didn't get any gruesome death scenes which for a slasher movie isn't a great thing, and that also meant that none of the death scenes really stood out, but thankfully the movie doesn't suffer too much because of this and it's still an entertaining watch.All in all 'The Final Girls' is a fantastic movie with a great script, strong acting and witty and sharp dialogue and just a general great time. While it may not deliver on the gore, and the emotional scenes may not be for everyone, this movie definitely delivers on everything else and deserves to be a classic.
kunafa Sometimes its really hard how viewers rate any movie,how can a movie like this gets such a high rating. Why would the production team spend money on making such movie always,its not funny and its not scary,you don't know if its a horror movie or a comedy or neither one.The acting is horrible as if they are pretending to act,the director could have used this story to make a descent horror movie but who I'm i to judge. When you watch this movie you wonder did they make the killer mask intentionally looking horrible or they thought it looks cool,i don know really,the only good thing about this movie is that i saw it in blue ray quality, other than that i can't recommend this movie to anyone .
