Review of Final Girl

Initial Thought: I guess I was pulled in by the familiar faces and an interesting concept. I do wish the twist was revealed in the movie and not the trailer though. Anyways I am watching this due to my curious bone.

Characters/Acting: It has an interesting selection of young Hollywood with Wes Bentley added into the mix. I really couldn't take Abigail Breslin seriously in her role here. It just seemed way too fabricated. I think it would have been perfect had her background not been spoiled in the trailer as well as the first half of the movie. I really didn't like Logan Huffman's character. He was just so annoying and way to cartoonish rather than creepy. The other three I think did a fair job.

Story: A pack of teenage boys choose the wrong girl to be the victim of their 'initiation'. I wish it didn't start the way it does. They really didn't care for making this have a cool twist. What's with all the bright lights shining in the woods? After the first death everything else just kind of sucked. I even predicted the exact order of who would die. That ending was just plain stupid!

Directing/Writing: I have never heard of Tyler Shields before this. He doesn't have much of a credit list either. It took three people to create the story and one to make the screenplay. All of whom I have never heard of. Only the screenwriter has another credit and it's one I haven't heard of. The writing here kind of sucks.

Final Thought: I was really hoping there would actually some kind of horror aspect here. It was an underwhelming disappointment. It's predictable and just plain boring. The only thing of positive note is the fairly decent acting. Everything else here was just dreadful. Do not even waste your time on this crap.
