20 Best Horror Movie Final Girls of the 2020s (So Far)
14. Crystal May Creasey - The Hunt
2020's satirical action-horror film The Hunt offers up another classically underestimated Final Girl by way of Crystal May Creasey (Betty Gilpin).
The movie's marketing quite ingeniously refused to tip its hand, leaving audiences to assume that one of the film's more high-profile cast members - namely Emma Roberts - would be the ultimate protagonist.
But in the end it's Crystal - a working-class Mississippi woman who doesn't seem remotely prepared to take on a collective of wealthy, well-armed elites - who emerges as the last one standing.
Over the course of the film Crystal shows herself to be far smarter and more resourceful than her first impression would ever suggest. Granted, it certainly helps that she's later revealed to be a combat veteran.
Betty Gilpin gives such a badass, charming performance in the role that it's near-impossible not to root for her by the end - all the more so once we learn that her inclusion in the hunt was a case of mistaken identity.
Even though her own politics remain intentionally ambiguous by film's end, Crystal is a textbook Final Girl who ended up punching well above her weight.
