This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I really liked this movie, so it wasn't fantastic. But to me it was awesome. I didn't feel sorry for any of the bullies. I'm glad Bradley and the three so called hot girls got what they deserved. Should have been more torture.

Tired of the years of abuse and torment inflicted upon them by a group of students at their high school, a group of outcasts kidnap them and hold them hostage during a party, inflicting the damage and torture back upon them in retaliation for what they did to them.This one was actually quite a bit of fun and had a lot to like about it. Perhaps more than any other effort in the genre, this one showcases the damaging and psychological aspects of bullying which is quite an important message to showcase here to effectively end that practice in showing the possible recourse for those who engage in bullying. There's a lot to be said here about the not allowing this kind of situation to occur, much of which is given by those in charge throughout here and what happens along the way is then perfectly justified. That there allows this one to really utilize the best aspect throughout here in the shockingly intense torture scenes inflicted here, which really carries this one here as the torment and torture here is quite impressive overall. From forcing them to slice fingers off with clippers, using animal torture tactics on the group as well as placing the needles in their backs or putting the acid cream on their face which leaves this one with getting some impressive, creepy scenes here. As well, when it's not concerned with the tormenting here this one has some really enjoyable elements in the really exciting action scenes here that are quite fun, as the chase through the woods on dirt bikes comes off as a thrilling action scene, the escape attempt in the forest where the victim encounters the helpful resident here keeps it rather fun, and the groups' final reaction to their torturers at the end comes with a really enjoyable and worthwhile scene that's effective at what it sets up earlier, all of which here help make this one quite enjoyable alongside the brutal tormenting. These here do manage to make it enjoyable enough even though there's a few rather noticeable flaws in here although none of them are really detrimental. The first one here is the fact that, as well as it does set-up their retribution as being worthwhile, this one does tend to go overboard into them being picked on and bullied where it's not realistic at all how they're treated in here. It gets the point across but then goes above and beyond any normal form of human-like behavior that they display here, and the overall effect is has is somewhat laughable. The other minor flaw here is the rather overlong amount of time here focusing on their home-like as well as in the building of their social status alongside the school-based bullying, which is quite unnecessary and really adds more time than necessary to keep this from getting to the party and torture on the group. These here don't matter all that much, and don't have enough to beat out the positives.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and underage drug use.

This is a story for all kids who have been bullied in school. It is eminently believable and a good ride. Marc Danato( Dane), and Lindsay Seidel ( Emily) give good performances and give cause to think that the bullied become the bullies and Emily finally sees that but they get their point across. The ending is haunting and to the last they keep up their game. This is horror of the first class, the directing was good, and I liked the dialog and delivery.the methods they choose to carry out their revenge, no retribution , is inventive and captivating, and kept my attention throughly.i don't know what the Vietnam veteran is doing in the video,as he adds little to the story line. The film could have been better without him as he tends to slow down the pace of the film.one final note, the worst bully reacts as a real bully acts, surprised and then broken, doing anything to save himself.this is true to life.all that said,the movie is well worth the price, I myself have watched the film a dozen times. Thumbs up on this one.

The Final is a pretty low budget horror film, which could be described as 'post Hostel torture porn.' And, the first thing I have to say is that it appears not to be for everyone.I really liked it, but, if you read the numerous reviews, you'll find that just over fifty per cent seemed to really hate it. It's nothing that special, but I thought it was a nice enough idea to elevate it from the mounds of horror b-movies, infesting the DVD stores.It's about a group of bullied students who decide to take some - pretty deadly - revenge on their 'uber cool' tormentors, in the form of drugging them all at a party and then... let's just say they don't just tweet nasty messages about the bullies.However, don't go expecting piles and piles of blood and gore. The film is distinctly low budget and I'm guessing they couldn't afford to have too many realistic limbs flying in all directions. Therefore, what 'gore' there is, is implied and left to your imagination. However, despite the low budget, all the actors play their parts pretty well.I think you're enjoyment from the film will stem from whether you can identify with the psychotic 'killer' kids. It certainly makes a change to have some sympathy with the killers, rather than the victims.If you like the Hostel-type film and you're not bothered by a lack of gore in your horror films, then you might like The Final (if anything else, it's a stark warning not to bully!).
