Nitzan Havoc As is the case with 99 out of 100 Horror films here, Final Girl got a real raw deal. I always say that people should judge for themselves, watch a film if the trailer/poster/whatever caught their attention and take a chance. In this case - I must implore anyone and everyone to give this film a try. Even if your ultimate experience is indeed disappointing, it won't be half as bad as to justify the low rating and terrible reviews here.Final Girl is simply a fun, satisfying revenge flick telling the story of some sort of operative in a secret above-the-law agency given the task of eliminating five stereotypical psychopaths who enjoy toying with girls before killing them. I would have personally liked to see more of their evil deeds so as to enjoy their punishment all the more. Cheap, maybe, but utterly satisfying nonetheless. True, this revenge concept has been done before, and a lot better (see: I Spit On Your Grave) but not every film has to be a groundbreaking act of genius in order to be fun and rewarding. I personally enjoyed every second, every bit and every death of the villains. Add to that excellent characters, on-the-spot acting and great overall atmosphere and you get a wonderful experience of bad guys suffering beautifully painful consequences.Final Girl if far from being perfect or even impressive. I personally enjoy a nice hamburger from time to time even if it isn't a premium steak. In my opinion - so should you. A solid 8 turned to 9 just to try and compensate for all those trashing it for no good reason what-so-ever.

tedeadite I do not believe this has been brought up but how old were these "boys" when they started their killing? The main man said they killed his wife but the method was to pick up young blonde girls for a date.After about ten or twelve years training the "assassin" is let loose on the group who still appear to be senior prom age. The movie itself is good and well made but the actual timeline makes no sense. Well worth watching as long as you don't think about the hows and whys.

gerardojl I watched Final Girl out of two things: curiosity and boredom and then i was pleasantly surprise Yes, the plot is trash and the premise is absurd, but it was so well made and almost perfectly accomplished that you just forget about it If you are aware of the kind of movie you are watching and just surrender yourself to what's happening without thinking about the "hows and whys" you are certainly gonna enjoy this one

vanyelashke-64321 I didn't see the trailer, but found this browsing the recommendations through Netflix. I have very mixed thoughts on the different aspects of the film. It does have great potential from the plot. Straightforward and to the point. From the beginning, Veronica is being trained as an assassin, thought you don't know why. I would have liked a little backstory to find out why. There are just references to the teacher having endured his life falling apart due to family being murdered which is great motivation, but it doesn't shed light on how his trauma connects with the plot of Veronica trained to specifically target the 4 boys.The plot of getting revenge on the boys and their "sport" has great potential, but has some story missing on why the training was specifically for them considering her training began as a child and by the time she's fully trained, she's the same age of the boys she's targeted as... There's something missing to that. If it's specifically to target them, the training started YEARS before they even began their own "sport" of luring and killing, so nothing is explained to her specific targets.The cinematography is beautiful. The lighting, coloring, and set design was beautifully done. It's obvious that the lighting is a very artistic way of highlighting the action instead of the usual cinematography, but if you view it from the indie artistic viewpoint, you can definitely enjoy the lighting of the set, and the vivid colors, and the highlighting. It definitely is stunning.The action sequences are well acted, though the writing has much to be desired. The actors did well with what they were given, but there's not too much depth other than what is said, and the effects of how Veronica extracts her revenge on them with bringing out their worst fears as she attacks.Overall, well done, stunning lighting, and training. But... there's a lot lacking in the way of specific motives for why these boys if training started in childhood, and no connection between them and the teacher. Very under-developed in that sense. Focusing on the boys and their "sport" without scenes of their every day life does help focus on their actions though, so it's obvious that they are menacing and deserving of the revenge. But the straightforward plot, though it is direct and to the point, is lacking with the connections underneath the surface.
