Movie Reviews:

• Gimly: Make a slasher movie that’s about an R-rated slasher movie, then make that movie be PG-13? Solid weird ass choice. But whatever, _The Final Girls_ is some proper fun.

  _Final rating:★★★ – I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

• Wuchak: Amusing slasher parody with heart

  This is a parody of 80’s slasher flicks, especially the Friday the 13th franchise. The story revolves around five teens somehow being translated into a fictitious 1986 slasher movie called “Camp Bloodbath.” The prematurely deceased mother (Malin Akerman) of the teen heroine (Taissa Farmiga) starred in the movie and she gets to meet her again, albeit as a young woman.

  While this 2015 film is a throwaway flick it’s reasonably entertaining, especially if you’re familiar with slasher films. What I like best is that it has heart and you can feel the loving relationship of mother and daughter. It’s also nice to see Nina Dobrev again, who’s one of the most alluring females in the cast, although she’s outshined by curvy Angela Trimbur as airhead Tina.

  The movie runs 1 hour, 28 minutes and was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with some stuff done in Los Angeles.

  GRADE: B-

• Peter89Spencer: It was silly, but entertaining. And it had room for poignant moments.
  And personally, the outtakes were the most hilarious!

  And, good cast as well.

• Kamurai: Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend, especially for slasher fans.

  As soon as I saw “trapped in a movie”, I was sold. I’m a big fan of survivalist situations (realistic or not), and have been waiting to find a “trapped in a movie”, as opposed to “trapped in a video game” for some time now.

  While my expectations were a bit high, I think the cast helped even me out some. This has some highly recognizable cast for 2015:
  Thomas Middleditch “Silicone Valley”
  Malin Akerman “Watchmen”
  Adam Devine “Pitch Perfect”
  Alia Shawkat “Arrested Development”
  Chloe Bridges “Pretty Little Liars”

  Most of which I’m not actually a big fan, but Taissa Farmiga ended up carrying most of the movie anyways.

  Given that they’re trapped in a slasher movie, we have to deal with several cliches, and SO MUCH meta discussion that is literally takes over the movie at certain point, but that is part of the survival strategies. We also get some pretty interesting death scenes, along with some that are more comedic than interesting.

  Surprisingly, the movie is actually both too formulaic and unique to discuss much without spoilers, so I’ll just say any slasher fan that enjoys discussion about slasher movies is going to like this one.
