The Final Girls is a 2015 American comedy horror film directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson and written by M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller. The film stars Taissa Farmiga and Malin Åkerman, with supporting performances from Adam DeVine, Thomas Middleditch, Alia Shawkat, Alexander Ludwig, and Nina Dobrev. The plot follows a group of high school students who are transported into a 1986 slasher film called Camp Bloodbath.

The film was originally picked up by  New Line Cinema in November 2011, but the script was shopped elsewhere when production did not get off the ground. Later, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions bought the rights to the film under the Stage 6 Films banner, with Michael London and his company Groundswell Productions producing the feature. Principal photography lasted a month in April–May 2014, taking place in Baton Rouge and St. Francisville, Louisiana.

The Final Girls had its world premiere on March 13, 2015 at South by Southwest. It was released in the United States on October 9, 2015 in a limited theatrical run and through video on demand by Stage 6 and Vertical. The Final Girls received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising the performances and atmosphere, as well as its direction, screenplay and homages to 1980s horror films.

Plot

Max Cartwright waits while her actress mother, Amanda, auditions for a film. When she returns, Amanda complains that she'll only be known as scream queen Nancy in the 1986 slasher film Camp Bloodbath, a cult classic. On the way home, the two get into a car accident and Amanda is killed.

Three years later, on the anniversary of her mother's death, Max is studying with her friends Gertie and Chris. Gertie's stepbrother Duncan, a horror film fanatic, shows up and persuades Max to attend a special double-feature showing of Camp Bloodbath 1 and 2. At the screening, Max finds Vicki, Chris' possessive ex-girlfriend and her former best friend, there as well. During the film, the theater is accidentally set ablaze. To get to safety, Max cuts a hole in the screen and the group step through.

Max, Chris, Gertie, Duncan, and Vicki wake up in the woods. They encounter a van with characters from Camp Bloodbath, asking for directions to the camp. The van leaves only to come back every 92 minutes, and the group realize they are in a time loop and have somehow been transported into the movie. When the van comes back once again, the group passes themselves off as new camp counselors and hitch a ride to camp. They let the first couple of murders happen without interference. The movies' antagonist, machete-wielding killer Billy Murphy, spots them but only stares without attacking. Duncan attempts to take a selfie with Billy, only to be stabbed, dispelling the belief that they will be spared for not being movie characters.

The group tries to stop the cast from having sex, as Billy shows up whenever someone does. Chris distracts Kurt, while Max persuades Nancy to stay a virgin. Vicki sticks with Paula, the movie's Final Girl, and Gertie bonds with Blake. When Gertie brings up the topic of Billy, the counselors are alerted to the fact that the " urban legend" of Billy is "real" and will come to kill them. In a panic, the counselors try to flee. Kurt and Paula drive off, but when Duncan emerges still alive, the car hits him and then crashes into a totem pole, killing all three.

Now aware that the characters who originally survived the movie can die, Max and the others decide to save anyone they can. They dress Tina in a life jacket and mittens, to prevent her from undressing. They also decide that Max, the only remaining virgin, is the new Final Girl, and plot to get Billy's machete into her hands so she can kill him and end the film. Meanwhile, Max and Nancy bond, and theorize that maybe if Nancy survives, she can go back home with Max and be whoever she wants.

The group booby trap the cabin, then Tina lures Billy to them by performing a striptease. Tina panics as Billy gets closer and is killed when a trip wire accidentally sends her headfirst into a bear trap. Blake, Vicki and Gertie are also killed fighting off Billy. Chris, Nancy, and Max flee the cabin, and Billy chases after them. They attempt to escape into a flashback, but Chris is stabbed, and Billy kidnaps Nancy. Max finds her at Billy's barn hideout, and the two women fight him, which results in Max getting stabbed, before they both escape.

After the two retreat to the chapel, Max tells Nancy that in the real world she is Max's mother. Nancy realises that in order for Max to become the true Final Girl, she must sacrifice herself, and the two bid each other a tearful farewell before Nancy lures Billy with a striptease and is killed. Max collapses, but, now the Final Girl, she awakens with the power to kill Billy. They fight and she eventually decapitates him with his own machete. A wounded Chris arrives and the two kiss, while the credits for Camp Bloodbath play in the sky.

Max wakes up to find herself in the hospital, where she is reunited with her friends. The group hears Billy Murphy's approach tune, and realize they are in Camp Bloodbath 2: Cruel Summer. Billy crashes through the glass doors of the hospital as the title appears and Max lunges at Billy.

Cast

Production

Pre-production

"It's Pleasantville in a trashy horror movie from the 80s with a little Back to the Future thrown in, and a spoon full of Terms of Endearment with a dash of Scream and two dollops of Purple Rose of Cairo for good measure."

– Director Todd Strauss-Schulson jokingly describing the genre of the film [2]

In February 2014, it was reported that Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions had bought the rights to the film under the Stage 6 Films banner, with Michael London and his company Groundswell Productions producing the feature. The film was originally picked up by New Line Cinema in November 2011, but the script was shopped elsewhere when production did not get off the ground. [3] The screenplay was written by Joshua John Miller and M.A. Fortin, and was directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson. [4] Miller's father, Jason Miller, was an actor and writer who appeared as Father Karras in The Exorcist. The script for The Final Girls was in part inspired by The Exorcist, with Miller pointing out, "I grew up watching my dad in The Exorcist, and there's something haunting, strange, confusing, and a little bit unnatural to see your parent constantly die in a film. But it's something that also becomes iconic, and we tried to deconstruct what the effects of that would be, as well as what it would be like if you had a second chance, but your second chance was inside of a movie?" [5] Miller and Fortin also served as executive producers, alongside Darren M. Demetre. [6]

Casting

It was announced on February 27, 2014, that Malin Åkerman and Taissa Farmiga had been cast in the two main roles for the film, playing mother-daughter Amanda and Max Cartwright, respectively. [7] [8] [9] On April 10, 2014, it was revealed that Thomas Middleditch, Alexander Ludwig, Nina Dobrev, and Adam DeVine had joined the cast in supporting roles. [10] Middleditch stars as Duncan, a fan of the Camp Bloodbath films; Ludwig portrays Chris Briggs, the love interest of Max; Dobrev plays Vicki Summers, Max's former best friend; and DeVine stars as Kurt, Camp Bloodbath's lothario. [11] Alia Shawkat, Chloe Bridges, and Angela Trimbur also joined the cast of the film, portraying Max's best friend Gertie Michaels, and Camp Bloodbath characters Paula and Tina, respectively. [12]

Filming

Principal photography was reported to last for 26 days in Baton Rouge and St. Francisville, Louisiana. [13] Production for the film began on April 22, 2014, [14] [15] with an estimated budget of $4.5 million. [1] On April 23, 2014, a photo from the set was revealed by one of the cast. [16] Over 200 extras were sought out for large scenes. [13] Principal photography for the film concluded on May 25, 2014. [17] In late October 2014, some of the cast and crew returned for pick-ups and scene re-shoots following a test screening earlier that month. [18]

Post-production

Post-production primarily took place in New York City, [19] with additional editing taking place at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. [20] Sound mixing was provided by Parabolic in New York City. On October 2, 2014, an edit of the film was screened in Los Angeles to a test audience of teenagers. [21] Following this, some of the cast and crew returned for re-shoots and pick-ups. [18] On December 22, 2014, Strauss-Schulson stated that post-production had been completed for the film. [22] According to Strauss-Schulson, the film was required to be rated PG-13, at the studio's request. [23]

Gregory James Jenkins composed the music for the film, having previously written the music for two of Strauss-Schulson's short films and debut feature A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011). [25] Jenkins stated, "One of the biggest challenges was trying to create a score that was heavily steeped in 1980's while still trying to bring something new to the table... This is not your typical film score, as it's mostly electronic based... A lot of analog synths were used." [26]

The Final Girls: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released via digital download on November 13, 2015 by Varèse Sarabande, prior to a physical CD release in December. [27] Songs not on the soundtrack but featured in the film include " Dance Hall Days" by Wang Chung, " Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes, "Wild Heart" by Bleachers, " Mickey" by Toni Basil, " Lollipop" by The Chordettes, "Heartbreakers" by The Cold Crush Brothers, " Cherry Pie" by Warrant, and " Cruel Summer" by Bananarama.

[36] [37] [38] A panel for the film was held at San Diego Comic-Con on July 23, 2016, with Strauss-Schulson, Fortin, Miller, Middleditch, and Trimbur appearing.

Reception

Critical response

The Final Girls received positive reviews from film critics. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a 74% approval rating based on reviews from 74 critics, with an average rating of 6.29/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The Final Girls offers an affectionate nod to slasher tropes while adding a surprising layer of genuine emotion to go with the meta amusement." [59] On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 59 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [60]

Dennis Harvey of Variety gave a positive review, writing, "Though not quite as inspired or consistent as the similarly self-mocking likes of The Cabin in the Woods, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil or the first two Scream pics, this is good fun that should delight genre fans." [61] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Genre enthusiasts will get a kick out of Todd Strauss-Schulson's creative homage to classic slasher movies, which respects familiar horror conventions while introducing a sly contemporary perspective." [62]

Laura Kern of Film Comment called the film a "sharp, wickedly funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt homage" to slasher films, adding, "It's a gimmicky premise, perhaps, but a highly effective one. No mere meta-exercise, the film innovatively blends the worlds of the 1986 teens of Camp Bloodbath with the modern-day ones." [63] And Sebastian Zavala, writing for Screen Anarchy, declared, "Part deconstruction of 80s slasher movies, and part emotional mother-daughter bonding drama, the film works surprisingly well considering it lacks many of the staples horror flicks such as Friday the 13th were famous for; namely, the blood and nudity." [64] The film was ranked #9 on BuzzFeed's 19 Best Horror Films of 2015 list, [65] and ranked #10 on Rolling Stone's 10 Best Horror Movies of 2015 list. [66]

Possible sequel

In March 2015, at the South by Southwest premiere, screenwriter M.A. Fortin stated that there had been discussions about a potential sequel, and if a second film was to be made, the father of Max would be revealed. [74]

At the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, Strauss-Schulson said that fans seeing the film in theaters and spreading the word would help convince Sony to produce a sequel. [75] He later stated that the making of a sequel also depends on the box office performance of the film and its profitability to the studio. [76]
