The Final	comment	The Final is a 2010 Teen Horror film directed by Joey Stewart and written and produced by Jason Kabolati. The film was part of the After Dark Horrorfest film festival.After being continuously bullied throughout high school, a group of teens — Dane and his friends Emily, Jack, Ravi and Andy — concoct a plan for the ultimate revenge, using knowledge from their classes (namely the torture methods of cultures past) and inspiration from their vast collection of horror films.The teens set up a party at a ranch house, inviting all of their bullies to attend, and they pour in like clockwork. After drugging them with spiked punch, the teens hold them prisoner and Dane informs them that, for the years they spent abusing students that they saw as weak and helpless, they will pay for their sins.They will not die, but by the end of the night, they will wish that they had.

The Final / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: Bradley. He acts tough early in the movie, and he goes to the party dressed as a Roman centurion, but once the "party" gets going, he whines constantly, and rather pathetically. When given the chance to save himself pain by cutting off Bridget's fingers, he accepts pretty quicklyâ€¦ right after Bridget refused to do the same to him. Parker sees himself as this, feeling that he had dishonored himself in Vietnam by running away and letting his squadmates get killed.

The Final / int_15b09af9	comment	Heelâ€“Face Door-Slam: Bridget seems genuinely sorry for bullying Emily, but when she refuses to go as far as harming the other bullies in order to prove her remorse, Emily calls her a Hypocrite and makes her pay dearly for it. Kelly is genuinely remorseful for being an Alpha Bitch, but instead of leading to a mending of her ways, the guilt and trauma apparently drives her to suicide. On the flip side of this, Emily herself has a chance to call an end to things when they go too far, namely when Ravi is murdered by Dane, but even after calling him out on this, she chooses to carry on as planned. It isn't until almost the very end, when all of the dirty work has been done, that she has finally had enough and murders Dane just in time to stop him from killing Kurtis.

The other three only exist to get killed by Parker. They were initially seen on the school steps, and their presence was meant to prevent the victims from leaving and to confuse police officers when the plan was over, but time constraints forced this subplot to be mostly removed bar a few lines of dialogue. One of them does survive, however.

The Final / int_23e32a30	comment	Genre Deconstruction: Of the "unpopular kids get revenge on the bullies" and "psycho classmate" plots. Instead of the comical revenge that so many teen movie protagonists desire, the outcasts wish to make their bullies suffer the way that they made the outcasts suffer for so many years. It's also implied that the outcasts were (and, to a degree, still are) genuinely nice people whose crappy home lives, combined with years of bullying, made them so twisted, as seen with the way they treat Kurtis. In addition, the popular kids (especially Bridget) are shown to have shades of gray, rather than portraying them as the total jerkasses so commonly seen in teen movies. It also shows how devastatingly traumatic surviving an elaborate torture would be, as seen by the victims' fates. One is even driven to suicide over her guilt in making people do what they did.

The Final / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The obvious moral of the story is that bullying and tormenting others is bad, yet the outcasts spend a good two-thirds of the movie doing this out of the need for revenge, although Dane states that he also wants to send an anti-bullying message to the nation. Said message is further rendered moot as when the incident does make the news, it's described as being an unprovoked attack carried out by angry social deviants as opposed to long-time bullying victims. On the flip side, one could argue that the message is that tormenting/torturing someone will not end well for the tormentor(s), regardless of whether or not they were initially tormented themselves. Short version: karma is a bitch.

They also try to prevent Kurtis from coming in the first place, since he was their friend. Ravi, who was personally helped by Kurtis, goes as far as to help Kurtis escape. This, tragically, costs him his life when Dane stabs him as punishment. Emily genuinely doesn't want to hurt Bridget after she sincerely apologizes for her bullying, though she hurts Bridget anyway after Bridget refuses to torture Bradley. Near the end, Dane tells Riggs that he wasn't tortured because, back in sophomore year, Riggs had offered to drive Dane home on a rainy night, stating that that one act of kindness saved his life. However, Dane changes his mind when Riggs insults him to his face, only stopping because Kurtis comes back to kill him.

Instead of the comical revenge that so many teen movie protagonists desire, the outcasts wish to make their bullies suffer the way that they made the outcasts suffer for so many years. It's also implied that the outcasts were (and, to a degree, still are) genuinely nice people whose crappy home lives, combined with years of bullying, made them so twisted, as seen with the way they treat Kurtis. In addition, the popular kids (especially Bridget) are shown to have shades of gray, rather than portraying them as the total jerkasses so commonly seen in teen movies.

Second, he winds up getting snagged by a punji stake trap â€” exactly the kind once used by the Vietcong. (However, he manages to crawl away from it and kill two of the guards, and his ultimate fate is uncertain.)

The Final / int_e1acc872	type	From Nobody to Nightmare
The Final / int_e1acc872	comment	From Nobody to Nightmare: The five were just simple high school students who never meant harm at first, but years of abuse destroyed them. Bradley even held Dane, whose life he made miserable, in such low regard that he never even learned his name. Summarized by Dane, who says that he would have just been another harmless teenager had it not been for the abuse inflicted on him.

The Final / int_e35b1a96	type	Everything Is Big in Texas
The Final / int_e35b1a96	comment	Everything is Big in Texas: While it's not lingered on too much, numerous background details emphasize the fact that the film is set in Texas, from the country-themed restaurant in the opening to the fact that the Torture Cellar was set up on a ranch to the use of a cattle gun as a torture device.

The Final / int_eb251937	comment	Dirty Cop: The police officer lets the jocks go in exchange for them handing over all their weedâ€¦ which he is later seen smoking. A deleted scene reveals that he does the same thing for any good-looking women he pulls over, in exchange for sex. Hard to feel sorry for him when he gets killed by the triplets later on.
