Tragedy Girls

This is a quirky light hearted take on the slasher genre and follows two self obsessed psycopaths who are 2 girls still in high school. They are superficial and spend time on their phones fishing for likes and attention while also commiting many murders within the high school community.

It was quite refreshing and the 2 leads did a good job of playing annoyingly self obsessed teens. The rest of the cast do a good job as well and its well made all round including the gruesome deaths !!

Don't expect anything more than a slasher flick with a difference and enjoy it for what it is #betterthanmostslasherfilms

It's an ok film, but honestly, those girls are so bloody annoying. If this is meant to be a depiction of how self-obsessed and addicted to social media youth has become, then the future looks really bleak. 5/5

I stumbled upon "Tragedy Girls" solely for the reason that I picked it up as it looked like a horror movie. I didn't even bother reading the synopsis for the movie, I just decided to watch it. So I had no clue about the movie what it was about or who was in it. All that mattered was the fact that it was a horror movie.

Right, well first of all I must say that "Tragedy Girl" is definitely a movie that is quite well worth sitting down to watch. So if you have the chance, do so. Take the time to watch it, because it is an entertaining movie with a dark, morbid and somewhat funny story to tale.

The movie's storyline was rather unique, bizarre in a way, but entertaining nonetheless. And I think there were a lot of good aspects to the movie that were essentially brought to closure and the movie did come full circle towards the ending.

There is a fair amount of dark humor in the movie, that is somewhat gory and count be considered morbid by some. But, keep in mind, it is a movie meant to entertain. And I was definitely entertained by the movie from the very beginning up to the end of the movie.

They had a good ensemble of casted actors and actresses to perform in the movie. I must admit that I found it to be Alexandra Shipp - playing McKayla Hooper - whom carried the most of the movie with her on-screen charisma and her wonderful acting performance. I didn't really care much for the other lead actress Brianna Hildebrand - playing Sadie Cunningham. Sure, she acted well enough, but the character was just annoying. I was genuinely surprised and pleased to see Kevin Durand in this movie, and he had such a wonderful role. Just a real shame that he wasn't given a lot more on-screen time.

There are some very hilarious moments throughout the course of "Tragedy Girls", alongside with some fairly bloody, brutal and grotesque death scenes. Was it enjoyable to watch? You betcha...

"Tragedy Girls" was a real nice surprise and a very entertaining movie. If enjoy dark horror comedies, then you definitely owe it to yourself to sit down to watch "Tragedy Girls".

Sometimes a movie seems to be too clever for its own good. That doesn't mean you can't have fun with this. No matter how you watch and no matter how you feel about the girls themself. It is supposed to be funny and not animate imitators. Which wouldn't work anyway, because in real life the charade would be over in no time.

But this is also supposed to be a sort of stab at current society and celebrity status and the obsession of some with it. Actually it tries to juggle and play with too many subjects while trying to be as funny as possible. Not everything works out, but it's silly attitude can make things feel lighter than they actually are. So you can enjoy this and a one time viewing is sufficient ... maybe if you are in the right mind set, you will even enjoy this more than others did. Whatever the case, don't expect too much, put morality aside and you'll have a good time

It is film festival time once again so it is a great chance to check out smaller films like this on the big screen. This one is a twist on the slasher genre following two horror obsessed teenage girls who use their online blog about real-life murders to manipulate their way into the spotlight. It breathes life into the slasher genre and is also a great take on the dark side of social media. It has some inventive camera work that makes the most of its modest budget backed up with good performances all around.

I feel a shades of Heathers (1988) and it certainly has a few nods to some classic slasher films. It is not the first film in recent years to put a new twist on slasher films with good results... The Final Girls (2015) and You're Next (2011) come to mind but I think this one is better than those and is sure to become a cult favourite in years to come.

7/10
