Michael Federico, who wrote The Finale, says “Theatre camp is all fun and games until the creepy acting teacher shows up and the killing begins. The Finale is a horror movie that takes on current social issues in the performing arts, while drawing inspiration from classic slasher films, old ghost stories and even some Broadway musicals.”
