User Reviews

I dunno that I have EVER seen a more under-developed plot.

This is a terrible film. Not bad. Terrible.

I have seen about 60 films from 2015.. maybe more. Right now this is the worst one that I've seen.

Never have I seen a film that seemed so disinterested in telling me anything about how or why these people are who they are. The backstories are non-existent. We care nothing for these characters. The writing is awful. And in the end - you just have to ask yourself "why".

I just can't grasp how any film-maker would want to release such an incomplete mess of a film. It's really a bit disrespectful to the viewers if you ask me. You plop down in the middle of these characters lives, and there's seemingly a ton of potentially interesting material that put them where they are... you get NOTHING.

The end is a mess too.

The film feels like the last 10 minutes of a stage play you walked in on. A bunch of crap that you don't know why is going-on, only in this case it wouldn't have mattered if you had sat through he first 85 minutes because the film gave you NOTHING!

Worse than Pixels, worse than anything else this year...

You got me Final Girl... You got me;).. Breslin... stylish looking trailer... you got me.

Trash! 33/100.

Go rent the very average Final GirlS instead... it's not great, but it's an Oscar contender next to this junk.

Pass... don't say I didn't warn you.
