The first section (Final Girl) explained.


SPOILERS and content warning too.

Are we supposed to take it that she basically fantasized about exacting vengeance on her father who sexually abused her? Or is there anything else to it? And why is it called "Final Girl", cheers, and how do you think it really ends?

To say it in advance: I didn't like the movie at all.
Snippets from all sorts of movies, books and legends have been woven into a sort of collage that attempts to be profound. Shards of thoughts, phantasies and nightmares thrown into a blender and stirred.
Obviously I missed the deep meaning.
And please, add super-evil Nazis otherwise you won't get a film award.

The boring girl with her annoying way of talking was for me a youngster just cutting the cord to her father, becoming an adult. Perhaps she was vengeful cause her father abused her or she felt guilty cause she dreamt too often about sex with him (Electra complex)...I don't care.
Her soliloquies sounded as if she was reading from a beginner's guide to guinea pigs. Alas, she missed the part that her poor single piggy needs fellow species or I nod off for a short. *yawn*
Finally the "Final Girl" left her girlhood, revenge fantasies and father behind to face the big, big world.
Uff, first third of the movie done.

The next both parts were a little better but didn't convince me either.
Details on request.

All in all and regarding the stupid film title 3-4/10 from me.
Gute Nacht! 🌜​
