“The Final Rose” is a Tubi original horror/thriller starring Christina Masterson (Truth or Dare), Brytni Sarpy (The Young and the Restless), Carrie Alexander (Paper Tiger), Taylor Foster (Saving Sloane), Robert Palmer Watkins (General Hospital), and Roger Howarth (General Hospital).
Jess Rose is a single mom with a seven-year-old who is struggling to find love. Her brother enters her to be a contestant on “Love at Last”. A “Bachelor” style game show where the women are eliminated one by one till one final girl is left and chosen by the bachelor, or as it is called in this movie the “Beau.” Only one problem though, the other girls start getting killed off one by one.
Tubi isn’t exactly known for having quality original movies. Most appear cheaply made and are more like Hallmark original type movies. This one isn’t too bad though. It’s a slasher movie with a unique plot that I can get behind. The acting is pretty good too, especially from Christina Masterson. She has the acting skills to be a good “final girl”. Now does it have its cheesy parts, of course and the gore looks very fake, but it does its job of being entertaining and keeps you watching. Main problem is it is a little slow for a slasher. It focuses more on the “reality show” than the killings. Which the reality show is entertaining but, I would rather be watching a slasher instead of a straight up “The Bachelor” show. If it switched gears and did this, it would have been a great horror movie. Overall, it’s entertaining. I give it a 6/10.
