Now she does break some of the final girl rules, being in a romantic relationship and making poor decisions but she also follows some of the rules. Never drinking or never doing drugs. But one of the main things she breaks is that she doesn't survive she dies nearly at the beginning of the movie.

Why she IS the final girl

201601476_1 — 2025-09-04 05:19:04 UTC

The reason why she is the final girl is because she is the female protagonist that is One of the main characters introduced first, and the main reason why The people come to the hotel in the first place.

The inspiration she brought with her character

The final girl in a horror movie is a very classic stereotype for a lot of movies and a good one at that. A lot of movies have a final girl because of this character and the reason is because you feel bad for her she's a person who doesn't deserve for this to happen. a person that you would root for to win but a person you would be scared for the entire movie because you don't know if she's going to make it out.

The final girl I chose Laurie Strode

When you think of a final girl this is definitely the first character people think of, Not only does she follow the rules like, never doing drugs, never drinking alcohol and, being generally innocent, Now she does break the rule, In future installments she's in a romantic relationship because in the future movies she has kids meaning that she obviously had a romantic relationship, but Still she's an independent reliable smart girl. and who i feel is the best Defiance final girl.

Music

In the beginning of the movie near the part where she enters the hotel she drives a car in a heavy rain and she has a montage of memories and thoughts about what she just did. And during that Montage you can barely see what's going outside of the car because of the heavy rain and the music adds a tense feeling, that she is going to get in a car crash in any second but as she drives into the mysterious Hotel the music calms down and plays a more mysterious tone

Death

One of the horror elements of psycho is death when the final girl is killed it immediately sets an entirely different tone every second any characters in the house brings a tense, and horrifying moment every second feeling like centuries as you wonder when the mother / the psycho is going to strike death completely brings it out of the norm completely brings it out of typical reality, every character is always endangered when in that house bringing a horrifying element to the whole movie.

Halloween

201601476_1 — 2025-09-05 05:32:28 UTC

The reason I chose Halloween is because it is one of the most classic horror movies ever and one of the best not only introducing an amazing final girl but an amazing antagonist, michael Myers.

Michael Myers

201601476_1 — 2025-09-05 05:35:12 UTC

Michael Myers is one of the most terrifying slashers and deserves his own section about why this movie is terrifying throughout the entire movie he is shown as a Unstoppable Force, and then it's shown that he cannot be reasoned with. that he cannot be killed or stopped. But one of the main things that made Michael Myers one of the most interesting, and terrifying Killers. Is that there is no reason he kills There is not a single reason he just does it An Unstoppable of a force With no desire but to kill A horror theme in its own right.

Death

201601476_1 — 2025-09-05 05:38:33 UTC

Throughout the movie there are multiple times people die, but the way they die makes a statement. That Michael Myers is a monster and an Unstoppable force he kills with superhuman. Strength he stalks and plays with his victims throughout this entire movie you see a monster murdering people one by one and toying with them in a sadistic way without a single word or a single sound coming out of his mouth this pure silence makes every time he toys are disguises himself or hides in the shadows even more terrifying.

The ending

201601476_1 — 2025-09-05 05:41:29 UTC

In most horror movies either the antagonist is stopped fully or it leaves at a cliffhanger implying that the antagonist killed the protagonist but halloween. has a different Cliffhanger Instead of it clearly ending as in killing the protagonist or Attacking them last second before the movie ends instead. He disappears not a single Trace not a single answer for the ending of the movie the only answer that you get from the ending is that he's still out there somewhere but you'll never know where ending that is a horror theme in its own right
