Recommendations of Final Girl

  • Dana Hall: Final Girl

    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!

  • Ryan Kaminski: Final Girl

    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!

  • Amber R. Dickinson: Final Girl

    This was so fun. Brent Alles takes horror flick tropes and turns them on their heads in a super funny way. This also gave me some Buffy vibes, which is always amazing in my book. I enjoyed the heck out of this!

    What a great idea and very cleverly written. Drew me in from the start and was not expecting the twists, loved the comedy too. Would love to see it staged.

  • Ian Donley: Final Girl

    In this quick-paced horror comedy, Alles gives the audience a deconstructed portrayal of the beloved "final girl" who takes power into her own hands, resulting in her becoming a modern-day Jennifer Hills in "I Spit On Your Grave" in this well-balanced meta-narrative!

  • Debra A. Cole: Final Girl

    I love that BRENT ALLES takes the trope of a vulnerable female victim and turns it upside down! A little bit if dark humor... a whole lot of revenge... I would absolutely hire Emma to be a dormitory resident advisor. I would sleep much at night knowing she was in charge. Is that wrong?????

  • Ryan Vaughan: Final Girl

    Alles has written a villain that you almost feel bad for and a hero you don't know whether to cheer for or be one-hundred percent terrified of. A fun play with some actions that would make it a hoot to see staged. I would certainly audition if it were going up around my area. Well done.

  • Wendy Vogel: Final Girl

    We all know the Final Girl trope...does she live or die? This twisted little play gives our beloved character some real moments as she turns the tables on an inept serial killer who's no match for a victim who has already seen it all. Add this to your Halloween horror fest!

  • Aly Kantor: Final Girl

    What an inventive subversion of our favorite horror and slasher movie tropes! The notorious serial killer is immediately rendered pathetic and lackluster by a fierce (and very broken) final girl who is worthy of her title and status! Theatrically, it's packed with great ideas for creating visceral moments of wince-worthy violence on stage with minimal tech, which I'm sure would get a huge reaction from audiences! It's funny, bloody, and unexpectedly emotional!

    Brent turns a Horror trope we all know too well upside down and spins it around. So twisted, so unexpected, but so funny- and perfect for a Halloween performance! I especially loved the monologuing ABOUT monologuing. Well done!
