Collider:
I don’t know if you can relate, but I always have a good deal of fun imagining how I’d fair in a horror movie. Odds are, I won’t have the opportunity to run away from a big screen slasher anytime soon, but at least now The Final Girls lets me live the dream a little.
The movie stars Taissa Farmiga as Max, the daughter of famous actress Amanda Cartwright (Malin Akerman) who’s known for one single thing, playing the shy girl with the clipboard and the guitar in the cult classic, Camp Bloodbath. Three years after losing her mother in a car crash, Max is still having a tough time moving on with her life, but thanks to the Camp Bloodbath legacy, she doesn’t really have to yet. During a freak accident at a Camp Bloodbath screening, Max and her friends must literally step through the screen and into the movie, giving Max the opportunity to reunite with her mother – or at least the Camp Bloodbath version of her mother.
Film Class Junkies' The Final Girls review, a horror/comedy that fails to capitalize on its great premise.
I saw it - you can tell the director and writer had a lot of love for 80's slashers. The casting was okay too though one of the guys was trying to be too much like Jack Black, if you see it you'll know immediately who I'm talking about.

The Final Girls is a slasher movie, a slasher-movie parody, a horror comedy, and a drama about coming to terms with regrets. Though it’s not especially scary in itself, The Final Girls is the smartest movie about scary movies since Cabin in the Woods.

Imagine The Purple Rose of Cairo meets Friday the 13th, and you’ll get an idea of the high-concept premise behind the disappointing meta-slasher movie, The Final Girls. Directed by A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas’ Todd Strauss-Schulson (that’s not just a credit, folks, it’s a disclaimer), this slapdash send-up of ’80s bodycount flicks starts out with the cheeky promise of a 21st-century Scream, but it quickly runs out of gas.
This is getting some really good reviews, i think i'll give it a chance.
Looks like that annoying one from American Horror Story. I'll give this a go..
