Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Final Scream is like The Incredible Hulk's archenemy, an abomination. There is nothing else to call it without resorting to severe verbal abuse. Here are the reasons why it should've won numerous razzies.1) When I bought this in a shop, little over a year ago, I knew it was a cheap cash-in on 'Scream'. What I didn't expect was that the film was so cheap that it's whole budget could've been made on the £1 I bought it for. The sets are minimal and bland looking. The killer's mask looks like something out of children's show 'Art Attack'. The acting is terrible. The writing is cliché riddled and the killer's identity is frankly obvious within the first 10 minutes. Also its advised that if anyone does watch it and suffer from migraines or severe seizures then skip the opening titles as the screen gets VERY BLURRY.2) Another thing is that when the murders happen, you can't see a thing. In other words you might as well close your eyes. I did that and tried counting sheep jumping a fence. Trust me this is a cheap cash-in of the 'Scream' franchise. A franchise it bears no resemblance to in all but word.

A group of friends meet for the weekend in a "cursed" house that had been the site of a vicious, Mansonesque murder. The new owner wants to use it for a murder mystery game, where the friends get "killed" off, and the ones left alive are left to guess the killer. But then a real killer shows up, so that's not good.This film is a lower budget affair with unknown actors. It's in the vein of a Full Moon film, being helmed by David DeCouteau, a 1980s Full Moon regular (and apparently still around). Strangely, the film tries to pass itself off as a "Scream" replica, but it is really nothing like that franchise, not in plot or look or sensibility.The real source for this film is "April Fools Day". I have to assume that the writer of "Final Stab" ripped this one off directly, because it would be one heck of a coincidence otherwise. A murder mystery weekend? Preppy friends? A practical joke? It just follows right along, at least until the murders turn real. But that's such a minor change that this can hardly be called an original film.The acting is decent but not great, the effects are nothing special, the plot as mentioned is a rehash... if you want to see a good DeCouteau film, see "Creepozoids". Or better yet, watch "April Fools Day" (the original) and just be done with it. This film has vanished off the radar (if it was ever there), and I feel no compulsion to defend it.

A wealthy group of recent college grads are invited to participate in a "murder mystery" game. It begins as a fun evening of scary stunts featuring rubber knives, fake blood, and a "murderer" played by an actor in a creepy mask. But when the body count becomes real, the players soon realize that one of them is a real killer and the rest of them are playing an altogether different game...to stay alive.Final Stab is a pretty decent horror flick made in 2001. The acting by the main characters is pretty good for a B movie. There is a little bit of blood and no nudity. Overall I would recommend this to any slasher fan I guess. Don't expect this to be very scary cause it's not one of those "on the edge of your seat" horror movies. About half way through I was able to figure out who the killer was. It's a watchable thriller with minimum gore.5/10

I rented this a few years back and really regretted it. I had to look up the other films that David DeCoteau had done, and there I had the answer; a movie about gay men masquerading as if it were a slasher teen film. A lot of his other movies have had an undercurrent of homosexuality within them. Is there any way to get some sort of "gay slasher horror" rating put onto the DVD case so a person knows what they are getting into? Hey, if it is your bag, okay; I just prefer regular horror movies without the male sexual overtones. That aside, it is a boring movie with uninteresting characters. The camera panned and swayed so much I felt I was getting seasick. Killer bent on revenge kills a bunch of people at a murder bed and breakfast. Really stupid twist ending. No sex. No real blood or gore. Whether you are straight, bi, or gay - avoid this one and save your money. Rent Deep Red instead.
