15 Great Horror Movies (Nobody Ever Talks About)
9. The Final Girls
A sweet and funny deconstruction of slasher movies which no one talks about, 2015’s The Final Girls features a superb central performance from scream queen Taissa Farmiga, a horror star better known for her turns in everything from American Horror Story Murder House, to We Have Always Lived in the Castle, to The Nun.
The film follows Farmiga and an ensemble cast including Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat, Silicon Valley’s Thomas Middlechurch, and The Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev as a set of teens accidentally transported into a vintage eighties slasher.
Directed by the helmer of equally underrated threequel A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas, this one is funny and moving at once—a neat trick for an ostensible horror film.
