The Final Girls
Who will survive?
Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson
Produced by Ulterior Productions, Groundswell Productions
A affectionate horror-comedy that uses slasher tropes and 1980s nostalgia as a vehicle for a mother-daughter reconciliation story.
A young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom's most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film's maniacal killer.
