Final Stab
A group of college friends get together for a murder mystery weekend, but what starts as a little friendly game gets dark and bloody when they start actually being murdered.
Why it matters
A meta slasher that turns the classic murder mystery weekend into a blood-soaked game of survival, blending suspense with self-aware genre nods.
- Early-2000s indie slasher with practical gore effects that hold up better than most direct-to-video fare of its era.
- Perfect for fans of locked-room mysteries who like their whodunits with a side of body count.
- Plays with genre conventions without outsmarting itself—lean on the familiar beats but enjoy the snark and setup.
- Not a polished studio release, but its earnestness and campy charm give it cult potential for slasher completists.
