Review: "The Final" (2010)- written January 31, 2011

"The Final" is a movie worth watching. It may not be great, but it is a horror film that has reason and philosophy to it. A bunch of high school outsiders decide to get vengeance,so to speak, on their tormenters. The plan that this group of teens come up with is quite an interesting one. However my problem with it is that the plan wasn't perfectly thought out. It would have made a better film otherwise. Now they get to prove their point somewhat but the movie wasn't overall satisfying. The focus was NOT on the Meaning, just the Situation. There are many things I wish this movie had more of; fear, tension, drama, and camera time for philosophy. I also wish that a particular character didn't have to 'escape'(it's not a spoiler), it just took more away from the film. Alas, one can only wish for a movie not so great that they wanted to be so.
