Final Girl theory

The final girl theory states that it is the last character left to confront the killer in a slasher film. They are almost always female and she is almost definitely:
- a virgin
- not a drinker
- not a smoker
- a sensible, intelligent female
- doesn't associate herself with other people
- quite often blonde

She is generally more intelligent than other characters, leading her to making the correct choices during action sequences and is a mix of the hero and the princess.
The character type seems to be a living embodiment of stereotypical conservative attitudes Some examples of females who fall into the "final girl" category are: Ellen Ripley and Sidney Prescott

Films that include final girl theory, generally attracts a male orientated audience which puts forward the idea of voyeurism.

In our horror film, we could try and incorporate this to try and make it targeted at a male audience as well as sticking to a stereotypical style of horror film.
