When it comes to horror movies, one of the most well-known subgenres is slashers. Each film follows this familiar formula — a killer brandishing a blade of some sort tries to murder a group of people (usually teenagers), with only a final girl surviving at the very end. Over the years, this murderous modus operandi has expanded and evolved to create some truly terrifying flicks. One slasher movie that does not get enough attention for its innovation of the genre is 2015's The Final Girls. Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson and starring American Horror Story's Taissa Farmiga and Malin Akerman from horror comedy Slayers, The Final Girls uses the slasher standard audiences have known for decades and infuses it with a clever meta concept that does not seem to get the credit it deserves.
