A spoof on the slasher genre, The Final Girls was entertaining enough with an entertaining cast.
It's almost impressive how Malin Akerman could still almost pass as a teenager. Either that or great job on Todd Strauss-Schulson's direction for letting the audience believe that. Though I have to say that some scenes when I remembered she's way past that age, it actually took me out of the movie.
But with a strong comedic cast of Thomas Middleditch, Adam DeVine, Alia Shawkat, Alexander Ludwig and Nina Dobrev, the humour landed most of the time and the spoofs were good fun.
However, with Taissa Farmiga leading, I wasn't as interested in her character or her acting as she appeared to be dull and one-note even though she was the one with the most character development. But she wasn't the downfall of the movie, just that the writing should have given her a more interesting character.
I'm not sure about the title for the movie, it sounds quite weak as it doesn't represent the movie in the best light. And that kind of translated to the actual movie as well in the sense that it didn't go all out to becoming a great comedy hit.
