Often played for laughs as a black comedy, the movie still has plenty of heart and doesn\u2019t shy away from its dark subject matter making for a unique yet enthralling viewing experience.<br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! -->            <span class=\"related-single\">Related: These Are the Best Margot Robbie Movies So Far, Ranked<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"final-girls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Final_Girls\"><\/span>\n            <span class=\"item-num\">3 <\/span><br \/>\n        Final Girls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.666666666667%\">\n<figure>\n            <picture>\n                <!--[if IE 9]>\n                <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/xH5C2HylyBcGbvPdXjDPxRWwme8D73.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/xH5C2HylyBcGbvPdXjDPxRWwme8D73.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/xH5C2HylyBcGbvPdXjDPxRWwme8D73.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/xH5C2HylyBcGbvPdXjDPxRWwme8D73.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                <img width=\"1200\" height=\"632\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Final Girls Trailer Is Scream for a New Generation\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/xH5C2HylyBcGbvPdXjDPxRWwme8D73.jpg\"\/>\n            <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stage_6_Films\" title=\"\">Stage 6 Films<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            <em>Final Girls<\/em> is a meta horror-comedy movie about a group of teenagers from the present who are transported back into a fictional 1980s horror movie (called <em>Camp Bloodbath<\/em>) in which they become the stars (and victims).

While some of the other films on the list play to our rose-tinted nostalgia of a bygone era, there\u2019s no sugar-coating here. While in many ways the 80s was good for the members of N.W.A (after all they did become the biggest rap group on the planet), the movie certainly doesn\u2019t shy away from the not-so-great aspects of the decade, many of which contributed to the gritty subject matter tackled in the group\u2019s music, that made them so controversial. Racial tensions, police brutality, class divide, and the HIV\/Aids epidemic are all uncompromisingly addressed in the movie, perfectly acted by its stellar cast.<br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"it-chapter-one\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_It_Chapter_One\"><\/span>\n            <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span><br \/>\n        It (Chapter One)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.583333333333%\">\n<figure>\n            <picture>\n                <!--[if IE 9]>\n                <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/OxXLyDrABKLrz4iTSAdmCarx57B6ic.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/OxXLyDrABKLrz4iTSAdmCarx57B6ic.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/OxXLyDrABKLrz4iTSAdmCarx57B6ic.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/OxXLyDrABKLrz4iTSAdmCarx57B6ic.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                <img width=\"1200\" height=\"631\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Pennywise Has Audience Screaming as First IT Footage Hits SXSW\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/OxXLyDrABKLrz4iTSAdmCarx57B6ic.jpg\"\/>\n            <\/picture>\n                    <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            The 2017 version of <em><strong>It<\/strong> <\/em>was the 2nd major adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s 1986 book, following the 1990 version starring Tim Curry\u2019 nightmare inducing performance as the evil Pennywise. Like the 1990 version, it is split into two parts, with the first focusing on the main characters as children set in the 1980s. Just as much a throwback to classic coming of age dramas like <em>Stand by Me,<\/em> as it is supernatural horror, director Andy Muschietti made his 80s inspirations well known. Chock-a-block full of retro references, Muschietti cites major horror directors of the era, Clive Barker, John Carpenter and Joe Dante, as influences, as well as Steven Spielberg, which is certainly apparent in the aspects that focus on the interactions between the group of children. Audiences and critics alike were impressed, and it went onto become the highest-grossing horror movie of all time.<br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Hot-Shots-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Hot-Shots-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Both Sheens point at each other on boats\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Is This Arguably the Greatest Cameo in Movie History?\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61b756b4b26e8-Profile.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Matthew Watkins<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(58 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Movie geek, musician and all round nice guy&#8230;\n            <\/div>\n<p>                            More<br \/>\n                    From Matthew Watkins\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below the author! --><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
