THERE’S A CHARACTER IN EVERY HORROR movie who doesn’t die. She’s the survivor, the Final Girl. She’s the one who finds the bodies of her friends and understands that she is in danger. She is the one who runs and suffers. She is the one who shrieks and falls. Her friends understand what is happening to them for no more than an instant before they are killed. But the Final Girl knows for hours, maybe days, that she is going to die. She feels death coming. She hears it. She sees it. Welcome to my nightmare.
