In the low budget film The Final Girls, a young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom’s most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film’s maniacal killer.
The majority of reputable movie critics are saying this about The Final Girls: The film is an affectionate nod to slasher tropes while adding a surprising layer of genuine emotion to go with the meta amusement.
The movie was released On Demand the same day it was released in a handful of independent movie theaters across the nation, bombing at the box office, proving that no matter how good a movie is, releasing it On Demand the same day as in theaters is an unwise business model for any movie studio, big or small.
