Critics Consensus

The Final Girls offers an affectionate nod to slasher tropes while adding a surprising layer of genuine emotion to go with the meta amusement.

It does make for a fun movie night, as well as making me interested in seeing what Strauss-Schulson does next.

The downfall of The Final Girls is that it pretty much becomes the tired thing it makes fun of. And it doesn't do much for thrills.

Finally! A slasher movie with both brains and heart, both intact.

This is another meta horror comedy that seems to be attempting the success of the previous Cabin in the Woods and Tucker and Dale. In comparison, this one is pretty lackluster. However, it does have it’s charm and is an enjoyable watch.

Deconstructs its chosen genre without the cynicism that could render an exercise such as this into simple, unengaging snark, and proves that it’s okay for the filmmakers to like their victims, right down to the final ones.

Surprisingly fun and smart meta-horror comedy. Sharp screenplay, good direction, well-acted. If you've never heard of it, it's a treat.

A pleasant surprise and impressive how they combined a bunch of different genres together to make a solid fun movie. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. Bravo!! Highly recommended!!

If you're looking for a super cheesy original spoof on horror slasher movies that surprisingly has heart looking no further. Just get on the ride.
