Tune into WatchMojo Live on YouTube May 31 : WatchMojo Live Creative Forum 2 pm – 5 pm: : WatchMojo Live Party 6 pm- 9 pm: Final girls are as important to the slasher genre as the iconic killers themselves. So what makes this archetype so compelling? From the classics like Black Christmas, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, to meta genre deconstructions like Scream, The Cabin in the Woods, It Follows, and You’re Next, all these films have their own interpretations of the final girl that share many characteristics, but are nonetheless distinct. On this episode of WatchMojo’s Troped, we’ll be looking at the origins of the final girl to see where they came from and why we still root for them.

why do most men take pleasure in watching a beautiful girl suffering? are we all that sadistic? i mean i am but i thought i was in the minority
In every teenage slasher film the audience cheer's for the killer because said teenagers are usually too dumb to live.

top 10 saddest movies of all time
Whats great about Cabin in the Woods is that the girl was made to be the Final girl by the "organisation". Hence, most of her behaviour isn't actually her real self.
For all the reasons in the World, men is more likely to survive versus non-disciminate blood thirsty slasher. Men are physically stronger, more often know how to fight, more resorceful, more stable morally / higher willpower and often just smarter. Well a least they were before modern world started to nerf men in every possible way.
Girls are much more attractive to both sex though, so they won't go away as Final Survivor anyway 🙂
Sydney Prescott will always be IMO the Michael Myers of final girls the greatest of them all she been shot at nearly stabbed to death betrayed by her boyfriend and even her own family but she always lives to see another day
Just to answer a past question, there was a FT13 where there was a nale virgin along with a female…he still died. It has to be a virgin girl except if the whole cast is guys like The Thing. My brother and I saw Deep Blue Sea and were cheering that not only a guy survived but the black guy (LL Cool J) did too. XD
do you know why it doesnt go away? because it works as a convention. If it didnt, then it would go away and be replaced with one that does.
