Final Girl is a 2015 American action horror thriller film directed by Tyler Shields in his directorial debut, written by Adam Prince, based on the story by Stephen Scarlata, Alejandro Seri, and Johnny Silver.

Breslin plays a young woman who is trained from childhood to defeat a group of high school boys who hunt and kill their female classmates.

He offers to take her in and train her for a job that is only for "special" people, explaining that his wife and child were killed by "a very bad man".

William injects her with a combination of truth serum and DMT, a hallucinatory drug, to confront her greatest fear, so she can understand what her victims will be experiencing.

They bond over their boy issues, revealing Veronica's romantic feelings for William despite their age difference and her awareness that he is emotionally unavailable.

She forces him to drink the drugged alcohol and, when he awakens, finds himself standing on a tree stump with a noose around his neck.

On November 29, 2011, Variety announced that photographer Tyler Shields would make his directorial debut with Final Girl, which will be produced by Prospect Park.

[9] Justin Chang of Variety called Final Girl "a mildly intriguing thriller of comeuppance that leaves you wanting more" and wrote "With its seemingly deliberate absence of context or character development, this patchy, underwritten thriller could almost pass for a critique of any number of genre forebears in which the mere presence of a hot, ass-kicking female avenger is meant to seem subversive.

"[10] Joe Neumaier of the Daily News gave the film 0 out of 5 stars, and stated that it "has long stretches of awkward dialogue that resemble acting-class exercises, and contains so many mist-shrouded forests Merlin would feel at home."

Neumaier concluded his review by saying "Breslin, whose recent resume hasn't lived up to her Oscar nomination for Little Miss Sunshine, needs to find something worthy of her talents.

"[11] Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine rated it 2.5 out of 4 stars, and commented "The film is in on its own absurdity, starting with the title."

and "The creators of Final Girl are ambitious, equal-opportunity fetishists, who throw things against a figurative wall to see what sticks.
