I’m a huge horror buff, but there are two things that usually prevent me from watching scary movies. It has bad reviews and a terrible cover. Unfortunately, in 2015 final girl I suffered from both, and no matter how many times various algorithms confronted me with it, I continued to ignore it. I finally got pissed off and watched this movie for free on Tubi. I’m happy to report that this is pretty much a movie, no matter what the haters say. perfection Horror movie.
Final Girl cast is eye-catching
cast of final girl Although quite slim, Abigail Breslin ( little miss sunshine) as the titular Last Girl, and as Wes Bentley (best known for) american beauty and interstellar) as her serious trainer. She is trained by a mysterious organization that gives her James Bond-level skills to help kill bad guys. The film’s villains are charismatic sociopaths (Alexander Ludwig, hunger games and vikings TV program).
Not for everyone, but I really liked it final girl The lean Thanks to the storytelling. This is the ultimate “show, don’t tell” horror movie, and it deserves it all thanks to director Tyler Shields. Shields is actually a photographer, and to his credit, he finds a balance between the artistic excess of Zack Snyder and the arthouse minimalism of Jim Jarmusch in every frame of the film. Injecting a unique style.
Buffy fans take note
You might enjoy it if you like horror movies final girl subvert expectations in the great tradition of buffy the vampire slayer. The villains are a quartet of youthful killers whose terrifying scheme involves choosing an unsuspecting target, taking her into the woods, and revealing a plan to hunt and kill her while wearing a tuxedo. There is something to do. They plan on making the character Breslin their next target, but they don’t know that she spends her life training to kill these types of despicable humans in the most brutal and creative ways.
This film is similarly creative, but it can be hard to appreciate it until you see its highly figurative design. Basically a classic revenge story, but with the twist that the would-be victim is ready to turn the tables, which you would get if Buffy Summers hunted human monsters instead of the undead. It looks a little like something. Despite some very familiar tropes, the film’s dialogue is sparkling, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the kills are unpredictable and satisfying. , this movie ends up being more than the sum of its metaphorical parts.
Not enough reviews
Unfortunately, not everyone appreciated final girl It cost about the same amount as when it was released (first in limited theatrical release, then on video-on-demand). On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently has a 25% critics score with just 12 critics. And while all the fanboys like to say that the critics tarnished their favorite movies, this is one example where most critics were actually wrong, the plot was too basic and the movie was too violent. Complaining about things like that. what on earth were they expecting? horror movie?
it’s true final girl While I’m not blown away by the intricate plots of Chris Nolan movies, I would argue that the best slasher movies are those that adhere to the classic formula of movies like: friday the 13th Still, it managed to surprise us with some unexpected developments. That’s exactly right final girl It employs a formula of hunting and killing unsuspecting victims in the woods, turning them into potential victims. The result is the rare scary movie that lets us root for a brutal killer while she’s busy murdering the absolute worst people.
Can you find it? final girl It was just as thrilling as it was for me. Or do you agree with the critics that this attempt at an artsy slasher falls short of hitting the cinematic arteries? The only way to find out is to stream it for free on Tubi. Just a quick reminder of something I wish someone had told me about this movie when it came out in 2015. many It’s better than the awful cover suggests.
