From Google.com:

Last Girl Standing (2015) is a psychological horror and drama film that explores the dark, realistic aftermath of a classic slasher movie. [1]

Plot Overview

• The film begins where typical horror movies end: Camryn (played by Akasha Villalobos) survives a brutal massacre by a deer-masked killer known as "The Hunter" after managing to fight back and kill him.
• Five years later, Camryn is living a reclusive, isolated life working at a dry cleaner/laundromat, severely crippled by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), survivor's guilt, and crushing paranoia.
• A friendly new co-worker named Nick (Brian Villalobos) slowly pulls her out of her shell, introducing her to his own circle of friends.
• Just as Camryn attempts to rebuild a normal life, her fragile mental state fractures further as she starts experiencing disturbing visions, believing that The Hunter—or someone mimicking him—has returned. [1, 4]

Themes and Style

• Written and directed by Benjamin R. Moody, the movie functions as an intimate character study rather than a standard, fast-paced bloodbath.
• It intentionally blurs the line between real external danger and trauma-induced psychological delusion, questioning how a real human being could ever recover after watching their friends slaughtered. [1, 7]
