   What is a final girl in a horror movie?

   • A final girl is a heroine left at the end of a horror movie. She's the one who defeats the bad guy, or escapes, and is left standing (usually) at the very end. It's the final girl and not the final guy because, at the end of these movies, it's almost exclusively women. When it comes to older movies (and TV shows) this woman is usually a virgin.

   Is the final girl a trope?

   • But as horror flicks like Scream and The Cabin in the Woods and Strauss-Schulson's aptly named Final Girls spell out, the Final Girl is also very much a trope. There are finite rules to surviving a horror movie, to the point that it's easy to quantify and calculate survival.
