10 Lesser Known Horror Movie Final Girls You Need To Know

6. Justine - Kristy

The final and, well, only girl of 2014's criminally underrated horror-thriller Kristy is Justine (Haley Bennett), a young college student who finds herself targeted by a cult of killers while staying at her nearly empty campus over Thanksgiving break.

Justine is alone and grossly outnumbered by her extremely well-equipped and organised assailants, but in classic Final Girl fashion, she finds it within herself to turn the tables on her aggressors.

She uses a car to crush one of the cult members to death, drowns another in a swimming pool, beats another to death with a nailed baseball bat, and defeats end-boss Violet (Ashley Greene) by burning her alive.

That's... quite the impressive and varied body count for someone with no combat experience going up against a gang of folk who literally kill for kicks. 

Justine's transformation into a capable - if traumatised - badass is sold perfectly by Haley Bennett's outstanding performance in the lead role.

More horror fans desperately need to know about this one, because it's a doozy alright.
