Everything I want in final girl horror and more. I love how Jones ended this trilogy knowing he had to keep upping the stakes, twisting the mystery, and kept pulling it off. I love how much the idea of a final girl, of inhabiting a slasher film type scenario was interrogated, how you see characters, Jade in particular, acknowledge the costs. I love, love, love that movie/story magic, of so much lost but survived, of something worth living for surviving, and perhaps gaining more than just the knowledge of one's own resilience from surviving. 😉
