The Final Girls	comment	The Final Girls is a 2015 horror dramedy which is an Affectionate Parody of the Slasher Movie genre. The story is about a girl named Max (Taissa Farmiga) whose mother was an actress whose career has been stalled because she starred in a slasher film called Camp Bloodbath.Three years after her mother dies in a car accident, Max is invited to a screening of Camp Bloodbath where she and her group of friends get sucked into the movie. They must now figure out how to survive before getting killed one by one.Also stars Malin Åkerman, Alia Shawkat, Adam Devine, Nina Dobrev, Alexander Ludwig, Thomas Middleditch and Chloe Bridges.Surprisingly charming and heartfelt, this one is a gentler deconstruction of slasher movies.It is unrelated to the Riley Sager novel.

The Final Girls / int_8e1aef2d	type	Reference Overdosed
The Final Girls / int_8e1aef2d	comment	Reference Overdosed: And how. This is a film by slasher fans, for slasher fans. As such, it is dense with shout outs and homages alike, many of which could easily go over the average viewer's head. The Tomboyish Name of the lead character and eponymous 'final girl' Max is a nod to this trope, which is fairly common in the slasher sub-genre (i.e. Jess in Black Christmas (1974), Jamie in Halloween, Chris in Friday the 13th Part III.) Billy Murphy is an amalgamation of three different slasher villains. The appearance and modus operandi of Jason Voorhees, the backstory of Cropsey from The Burning, and the name of Billy from Black Christmas (1974); a film which many consider to be the progenitor of the slasher sub-genre. The circumstances of Amanda Cartwright's death are similar to those of Ginny's mother in Happy Birthday to Me. Nancy's line about sex while stoned on a waterbed is a reference to an infamous bit of dialogue from the cult classic Pieces. The Camp Bloodbath opening title sequence is a nod to the iconic credits to The Thing (1982). The minivan is lifted from Friday the 13th Part III. Many of the characters are either named after or directly modeled on characters from classic slasher films.

The Final Girls / int_9f6fb586	comment	Leitmotif: "Bette Davis Eyes" for Amanda and Max. It's playing on the radio right before the car crash that kills Amanda and she even reminds Max that it was "[their] song" when Max was little. It starts playing again as Nancy, the character played by Amanda in Camp Bloodbath, sacrifices herself so that Max can become the Final Girl and escape.

The Final Girls / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: There's a good sense that Amanda's financial problems, as well as lack of success as an actress, is due to her treatment of her past as a horror icon as an Old Shame. She complains about being only recognized as a Scream Queen but it's the only thing she's done of any note and they DO recognize her. The movie also makes it clear that Camp Bloodbath, as a Captain Ersatz for Friday the 13th, has an active and vocal fandom that wants to see her.

The Final Girls / int_ad4c74ed	comment	Final Girl: Paula is this in Camp Bloodbath. But because our protagonists interfere with the plot, she dies while trying to bail out. Later, Nancy and Max both assume the role. Realizing there can only be a Final Girl, Nancy sacrifices herself so Max becomes the final girl of Camp Bloodbath and also the whole movie. Subverted in that Chris also survives and the whole group of friends makes it out alive towards the end. Then subverted again with the reveal that instead of having returned to the real world, they ended up in the even gorier sequel, so all bets are off again.

Like some other aspects of the movie, this is a pretty obvious take on how much pop culture tastes have changed since the huge wave of slasher flicks in the 80s.
