The Final Girls
“Who will survive?”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 61, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Friends enter an eighties slasher movie and discover that knowing the rules does not exempt them from the body count. The clever premise also reunites a daughter with her late mother's screen character. Some jokes and sentimental pauses overstay, but there is real warmth behind the playful horror mechanics.
