It’s never a good idea to include hyperbole like “shocking” in the description of your short film, unless it’s part of a quote.  Because you talking up your own short film outside of marketing materials generally doesn’t end well.  But will The Final Boy suffer from its own excess of exuberance? Let’s take a look.

A businessman named John finds himself stalked by a horrible vision of a demonic little boy.  Will he be able to shake this vision?  Or will it haunt him to death…and beyond?

I’m actually very surprised at how this turned out.  Yes, indeed, it IS shocking.  Their hyperbole is actually quite warranted as they’ve done a fantastic job of putting a quick little shock into my day.  I’d love to see this stretched out to a feature length piece, and anyone who digs a good Japanese ghost story is going to be totally enamored with this little shocker.

The Screenhead Ten Scale joins in my applause and hands The Final Boy an eight out of ten for being a great but really short blast of creepy.
