10 Great Slasher Horror Movies With Annoying Final Girls

10. Mandy Lane - All The Boys Love Mandy Lane

Despite being a dark inversion of the final girl trope, Mandy Lane still manages to be a bit of an eye-roller.

For the first half of the film, the weirdly oblivious Mandy seems to saunter comfortably through life without putting much thought into the drooling men obsessing over her everywhere she goes. She says little of interest and, if it wasn't for her name being in the title, could almost be dismissed as a borderline object of lust for the horny teenaged boys that populate much of the cast.

Needless to say, her weekend getaway with some other high schoolers quickly descends into murderous mayhem. It turns out Mandy's old friend (and all-round social outcast) Emmett has had enough of seemingly everything and is now killing everyone off for rejecting him. In the kind of surprise twist that's often not that surprising these days, Mandy's actually in league with him and, better still, is the real mastermind behind the whole thing.

The shift in character and arc is a bit jarring to say the least here, as is Amber Heard's struggle to really get the evil, aggressive side of her character across effectively. The ending scenes of her getting away with it all, which were clearly meant to be chilling on paper, just come out a bit hollow in practise thanks to rather half-baked character development and plotting in an otherwise suspenseful film.
