“Final Cut” (*1/2 out of four) was a pretty awful horror show about a filmmaker (Dante Aubain) and his girlfriend (Syrissa Sacca) who start filming their own low-budget horror movie about a masked murderer on the prowl when (to the surprise of no one) an actual masked murderer shows up on set and ends up slashing away the cast and crew and they’re all just dying for it to end. Standard stalk-and-slash fare for most of the way up until its ludicrous (and unnecessarily stupid) double-twist of an ending. By now, it should be apparent that most horror movies about making a movie (“Wes Craven’s New Nightmare”, “Scream 3”, “Urban Legend 2”) don’t work. Let’s hope this one truly is the “final cut.”
