Line 55:
=== Video games ===
* Claire Redfield in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]].''
* Not to mention Rebecca Chambers who managed to be the sole official survivor of her team from ''[[Resident Evil
Line 73:
* The movie ''[[Shrooms (film)|Shrooms]]'' gleefully takes aim at the whole concept of the Final Girl. At the end {{spoiler|the Final Girl discovers that she herself is the killer, having been driven insane by the titular ''Shrooms''.}}
* In ''[[High Tension]]'', a lesbian spends most of the film trying to rescue the girl she likes from the hands of a slasher. It turns out that {{spoiler|her alternate personality is actually the killer, having been [[Love Makes You Evil|driven murderously insane by her secret crush]]. Both [[Psycho Lesbian|the killer]] and the final girl survive.}}
* Played with in the movie ''[[
* ''[[Final Destination]] 3'', in which {{spoiler|the makers explicitly went out of their way to kill the Final Girl. Whether the two people she saved live or die is left open in the theatrical version.}}
** Also in the first [[Final Destination]]... {{spoiler|until 2, which subverts it for 1 by [[Incredibly Lame Pun|finally]] killing Clear}}.
Line 112:
* Subverted in ''[[Grizzly Park]]'', where Bebe, the ditzy, sweet girl, survives most of the movie, but {{spoiler|it turns out it was all an act, and she is really a mean, spoiled bitch. Ranger Bob ends up sending the bear to kill her once he finds out.}}
* Brutally subverted, along with every other aspect of the genre, by ''[[Funny Games]]''. {{spoiler|The Final Middle-Aged Woman is tied up on a boat, when she spots a knife dropped there at the beginning of the film. But before she can accomplish anything, the killers nonchalantly pitch her over the side. THE END}}
* ''[[Identity (film)|Identity]]'' subverts this twice: the character set up as the Final Girl was a prostitute, thus subverting the virgin-and-pure side of things. We then find out {{spoiler|one of the other characters who we thought had died was actually still alive. Said character, who was actually the killer, returns to finish the Final Girl off}}
** It could also be considered a subversion that {{spoiler|the Final Girl, the character that killed her and all of the other characters who didn't make it were actually the multiple personalities of a serial killer, and the whole thing was being played out in his mind. The "killing" of the characters was his real-life attempt to integrate. So when you get down to it, there's really no Final Girl at all, and no person ever really died in the first place}}.
*** {{spoiler|Except the people in the van crash, who were all male.}}
