FUN!!!
I had a great time with this and would recommend to anyone who loves the Final Girl concept or Final Girls.
Interesting that a man wrote it...would love a similar story from a girl's perspective.
I'm not the best predictor but I thought the twist(s) were good.
I'd like it as a movie too!
Kind of unfortunate so much of it had to do with sex and then the whole virginity question, especially because it didn't seemed framed in the fraught context of final girls' sexuality. Still had 'sluts for first' trope but it was nice that the weird kid wasnt a killer. The two explicitly or diagnosed mentally ill charcters were great
