Ranking All Friday The 13th Final Girls From Worst To Best

The main issue with the Friday the 13th remake's Whitney Miller as a final girl, is the simple fact that she's out of action for a large chunk of Marcus Nispel's solid redo.

While she very much is in the final girl role by the time the film closes, the main role for Amanda Righetti's Whitney here is to drive the narrative of the picture by her absence.

Her friends may have been butchered by Jason Voorhees during the opening of this 2009 offering, yet Jason decided to capture Whitney and keep her alive due to her resemblance to his dead mother. From there, we have a time jump to six weeks later, where Whitney's brother Clay (Jared Padalecki) is in Crystal Lake searching for his missing sibling. Clay meets a group of largely disposable (and largely annoying) college kids, and that sets the table nicely for what this Friday the 13th remake is all about.

It's only as this do-over hits its final beats that Whitney is finally found by Clay, and the two eventually take down Jason after Whitney pretends to be the deceased Pamela Voorhees and eventually stabs Jason in the chest with a machete - the Millers then dumping Jason's body in the franchise's famed lake.
