Not to be confused with "The Final Girl" that came out earlier this year.
Malin Akerman and Tassia Farmiga (American Horror Story) star in this Last Action Hero meets Friday The 13th comedy slasher.
Akerman plays an actress who is struggling to find work because all people remember her for is an 80s slasher called Camp Bloodbath.
After dying in a car crash her daughter (Farmiga) goes to a showing of the movie at a theatre and by some strange events herself and some friends end up being transported in to the film.
Well aware that's exactly what has happened they decide to see if they can change the events, including taking the dead mother with them when they go home.
Brilliant for a film with a budget, The Final Girls lampoons the slasher genre perfectly as two worlds collide. Technically not a horror or a slasher but a comedy it's not without it's gruesome moments and unexpected gory deaths.
I'm wondering if in the same vein as "Headless" that "Camp Bloodbath" might get it's own film, time will tell.
This flick was a great concept and a great ride. Bang on.
