This new slasher comedy blends and bends most of the conventions seen in horror films such as Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Gremlins, and Carrie. If you like any of them, then you won’t want to miss The Final Girls. The film already screened at a few festivals this years, it premiered at SWSX in March and later at the Stanley Film Festival as the closing night film where it won the Audience Award for Feature Film. I’m assuming you’re going to like it too, so make sure to seek this one out when it becomes available in your area.
The Final Girls hits theaters and VOD on October 9, 2015. It was directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, starring Taissa Farmiga, Malin Akerman, Alexander Ludwig, Nina Dobrev, Alia Shawkat, Thomas Middleditch, and Adam Devine.

Synopsis
The Final Girls is an unconventional comedy about Max, a high school senior, who is mysteriously transported with her friends into a 1980s horror film that starred Max’s mother, a celebrated scream queen. Trapped inside the movie, Max finds herself reunited with her mom, who she lost in real life. Together with Max’s friends, they must fend off the camp counselors’ raging hormones, battle a deranged machete-wielding killer and find a way to escape the movie and make it back home.
