The term "final girl" refers to a common trope in horror films, particularly slasher movies. It describes the last female character who survives the attacks of the killer, often confronting the antagonist in the final scenes. This character typically embodies traits such as innocence, resilience, and resourcefulness, setting her apart from other characters who may engage in reckless behavior. The concept of the final girl has been analyzed in film studies, with notable examples including Laurie Strode from Halloween and Nancy Thompson from A Nightmare on Elm Street. These characters often undergo significant development, transforming from vulnerable individuals into empowered survivors who confront their fears.
