While multiple movies on our list feature characters who are aware of horror movie clichés, “The Final Girls” takes this concept to another level entirely. Max Cartwright and her friends find themselves inside the slasher film “Camp Bloodbath,” a movie starring Max’s deceased mother. The various ways in which the characters demonstrate awareness that they’re in a movie, from their attempts to subvert the course of the plot, to even interacting with the titles, are all hilarious and make for an excellent parody of the trappings of horror cinema. There’s even some heart to be had; as the film has fun with common tropes, Max also has the opportunity to gradually accept her mother’s death.
