Cabin in the Woods
(2012)
How awesome sauce is Cabin in the Woods? As an homage to horror movie tropes, this film is fantastic on so many levels. I could wax poetic on Cabin in the Woods for hours but we’re here to talk about final girls, and boy, does this film have a great one. Dana is clearly our final girl, she does everything a final girl is supposed to do, but ultimately, the film sacrifices her anyway. This is a final girl who survives everything that’s thrown at her until the very end when big bad demon comes out of the earth and kills everyone.
