The Final Girls

Pretty good meta comedy that makes fun of the old, silly camp slasher movies, where the most effective aspect is, surprisingly, the emotional bond between Max and “Nancy”. The jokes are fifty-fifty, sometimes they land, sometimes they don’t. Naturally, you won’t find any horror or gore. Overall, The Final Girls is very watchable, but I feel that for 2015 it doesn’t have enough of “it” to be memorable in any way, no matter the angle you look at it. This is a wilder alternative.

A lame fail. Even though the movie is trying to look like an entertaining horror comedy digging some clichés out of the ’80s′ camp slashers, it ends as a predictable fairytale whose creators must have seen two parts of Friday the 13th series and called themselves experts of that subgenre immediately thereafter! The fact it’s all PG-13 instead of the required R is the icing on the cake. If only it was funny! But I’m afraid the only joke is that brainless concept. (12/29/2017)
