The Final Girl

McCadden Place Theatre
1157 N McCadden Pl Los Angeles

The School of Night is proud to present this postmodern potpourri of slasher-horror, revenge tragedy, martial-arts action, grand-guignol, superhero origin, gladiatorial combat, vigilante-crime, and sadomasochistic kink calculated to titillate, tantalize, tense, and terrify. The play contains violence, gore, sexuality, sexual violence, drug use, adult language, gunshots, and eighties-nostalgia. No one under 17 will be admitted.

"... It has all the elements of a classic, solid slasher flick, and with some didn't-see-that-coming plot twists you'll be left gasping, but Johnson's script takes too long to get to the meat of the story. The setup takes too long to be established, and a good 20-25 minutes could be cut to make for a tighter, nastier cut."

"...Sadly, The Final Girl's big flaw is that it's just too cinematic. In trying to capture what Johnson surely loves about horror films, it loses the necessary theatricality for the stage. The pacing, dialogue and direction all feel crafted for a film, and theater goers might start to get antsy part way into the overly long first half. The play in its entirety could have easily been trimmed by half, and theatrical sparks of energy could have been sorely used throughout."
