I've been talking about The Final Girls ever since I caught it earlier this year at the Stanley Film Festival, and I can't wait for Daily Dead readers to check it out. In all honesty, you're better off going into it without knowing anything, but for those that are on the fence or can't hold out until October, we have a brand new trailer for you to check out.
"The Final Girls is an unconventional comedy about Max, a high school senior, who is mysteriously transported with her friends into a 1980s horror film that starred Max’s mother, a celebrated scream queen. Trapped inside the movie, Max finds herself reunited with her mom, who she lost in real life. Together with Max’s friends, they must fend off the camp counselors’ raging hormones, battle a deranged machete-wielding killer and find a way to escape the movie and make it back home."
Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, The Final Girls stars Taissa Farmiga, Malin Akerman, Alexander Ludwig, Nina Dobrev, Alia Shawkat, Thomas Middleditch, and Adam Devine. The movie will be released to theaters and VOD on October 9th. If it's playing in your area, definitely seek this one out on the big screen, and keep an eye out for theater listings, exclusive interviews, and more leading up to the movie's October release.
