Jade Daniels Is My Final Girl: The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

 The third movie of any horror trilogy is often where we see our Final Girl begin to lose her shine. She’s tasted blood and tears. They’ve killed or harmed others to survive (on occasion). Nearly everyone around her begins to suspect that SHE is the cause of all the woes around her - that she is the real problem, not whatever supernatural or human killer comes around.

Reapers and chainsaws and claws, oh my! I know I mentioned this in
