Private Project

Final Girl

Jessica, Simone, Lila, Ray, and Henry, five college friends, head to Jessica’s dead aunt’s remote cabin in the woods for a spring break getaway. In the middle of drinking and spilling secrets, they are confronted with a life threatening danger as it’s clear someone is hunting them. In this grave situation they have but one thing to rely on, all the horror movies they’ve been watching since they were kids. In an attempt to use the predictable patterns and stereotypes of the genre to save them, it ends up being the very cause of their demise as they all turn on each other in desperation to compete for the winner’s slot of every slasher film- “The Final Girl.”
