    This is such a great twist on the horror trope. And a twist that continues to twist and still manages to be funny at the same time. Emma is a great character and I can see her doing this in a whole series of horrific events. The audience will root for her every time!

    I appreciate how Brent Alles' "FINAL GIRL" reimagines horror tropes with some wicked sharp wit and dark humor. The role of the setting intensifies the psychological game between Emma and "Mad" Marty. It's refreshing that the play cleverly subverts classic horror clichés, drawing the audience in with unexpected twists. It’s a compelling and entertaining piece that would be a delight to see staged. So good!

    Wow! This piece went in directions I never expected and I was so glad it did! As a fan of horror slashers, this piece tackled the genre in a really creative way. I'd love to see this performed. Fun, fun, fun!
