The Final is a 2010 horror film written by Jason Kabolati, directed by Joey Stewart, and starring Jascha Washington, Julin, Justin S. Arnold, Lindsay Seidel, Marc Donato, Ryan Hayden, and Travis Tedford.
A disfigured teenage girl visits a restaurant and gains the attention of surrounding people. She begins crying and a flashback begins. In high school, Ravi is bullied by two jocks, Bradley and Bernard. Emily, a goth girl, is taunted and abused by three popular girls, Heather, Bridget and Kelli. Dane, another outcast, has an old, secluded house in the woods which he inherited from his late uncle.
Kurtis, a popular student and aspiring actor, invites his schoolmates to a video shoot. At the shoot, Bradley and Bernard insult Ravi in the washroom and break his camera. Dane stumbles in and Bradley intimidates him, revealing he has been bullying Dane as well. The next day at school, after learning of the incident, Kurtis confronts Bradley.
The outcasts, Emily, Jack, Ravi and Andy and Dane, decide to get revenge on the bullies and send a message to the community. Among their inspirations are horror films and lessons in class about deadly chemicals and torture methods of old cultures. They plan to spare Kurtis, as he doesn't mistreat them. They prepare a costumed party at Dane's secluded house and invite the bullies over. They prepare cameras, party accessories and weapons. At the party, they lace the punch bowl with a drug, causing everyone who drinks from it to fall unconscious. They see Kurtis among the group, but still proceed with the plan.
When the popular teens wake up, they find themselves chained together. The outcasts then declare their intention to make the popular teens suffer a fate worse than death, as revenge for the years they have suffered from bullying. In their first act of violence, Jack injures Miles, a loud mouthed teenager, with cattle gun shots to his face and knee. One boy, Tommy, flees for help, but steps into a bear trap in the woods. Three boys nicknamed "The Triplets", who help the outcasts, capture and bring him back to the house.
Immobilized and silenced by a drug, Bernard is then tortured with needles by Emily. Ravi secretly gives Kurtis a key and he escapes. Dane, obsessed with revenge, stabs and kills Ravi. The torture continues with Emily smearing a corrosive compound on Heather's face. Bridget apologizes to Emily, Heather tells her to cut off Bradley's fingers to spare herself. She is unable to do it. When the offer is given to Bradley, he agrees and cuts two of Bridget's fingers off. Emily then smears the compound on half of Bridget's face.
