20 Best Horror Movie Final Girls of the 2020s (So Far)

6. Tori Tooms - Christmas Bloody Christmas

Joe Begos' seasonal slasher Christmas Bloody Christmas offers up a refreshingly left-field Final Girl in Tori Tooms (Riley Dandy) - a not-particularly-virtuous young woman who likes having a good time and categorically doesn't like being stalked by a robotic Santa Claus (Abraham Benrubi).

She's an uncommonly no-nonsense, foul mouthed femme fatale brought to life by Riley Dandy's incredibly charismatic central performance. 

She uses her sheer force of will to survive the night, and better yet, she doesn't undergo a cliched moral transformation over the course of the story - she's still the same no-effs-given badass.

And above all else, how can you not love a Final Girl who loudly states her love for Pet Sematary Two of all things? 

Of every Final Girl on this list, Tori might be the most criminally underappreciated of them all, and if you haven't seen Begos' film yet, you shouldn't wait until next Christmas to change that.
