20 Best Horror Movie Final Girls of the 2020s (So Far)
2. Sienna Shaw - Terrifier
Few were likely expecting the Terrifier franchise to spawn one of the greatest Final Girls of the 21st century so far, but here we are.
Terrifier 2 introduced audiences to Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera), who beyond being an incredibly courageous and likeable protagonist, feels like the yin to Art the Clown's (David Howard Thornton) yang.
Sienna isn't merely a smart and resourceful young woman capable of fighting back against Art - there's a mythic quality to her rare in Final Girls. After all, how many others have died and then been resurrected by their own father's magic sword?
And of course there's the iconography of that incredible, cosplay-ready Valkyrie costume - it further helps Sienna stand out among a sea of horror movie heroes, elevated of course by Lauren LaVera's sublime performance across both movies.
Needless to say, the last two Terrifier films wouldn't be nearly as watchable without a protagonist this innately compelling.
