The Final Girls (2015)

The Final Girls is a fun film for lovers of the horror genre.  The Final Girls is about a group of teenagers who find themselves trapped in an 80’s horror movie.  The only way out is to survive until the end.  The film is a horror-comedy that plays off of common elements seen in many slasher movies, the Friday the 13th franchise being its greatest inspiration.  The Final Girls features enjoyable performances, especially from Adam DeVine and Thomas Middleditch.  The cinematography stands out with several stylized and visually stimulating shots.  For example, many of the slow-motion shots at the climax of the movie were stunning.  My main complaint with the film is I felt like there needed to be more jokes and references for the genre fans.

If you like the slasher genre you should definitely consider seeing The Final Girls.
