Final Summer has been ridiculously praised as a tribute to Friday the 13th. This horrendous movie is merely a flat-out rip-off from that highly successful film franchise.
With its' simplistic dialogue and atrocious acting while witnessing buffoons as they wander aimlessly through the woods, Final Summer also compares to the cemetery scenes of Plan Nine from Outer Space.
Ed Wood at the least created an unintentionally hilarious good-bad movie. Far more than John Isberg had accomplished with Final Summer.
Of course, no lame slasher flick would be complete without the obligatory scenes of a masked maniac seemingly incapacitated and the intended victims running off instead of killing him. No surprise whatsoever when the maniac then arises, takes hold of his weapon which was conveniently lying next to him and easily continues his killing spree.
Call it a tribute if you wish, but Final Summer then manages an obvious variation to a storyline copied directly from the conclusion from Friday the 13th.
A quote from Oscar Wilde states, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" Final Summer however is a completely pointless and absurd fiasco.
