Tragedy Girls

"Tragedy Girls" is an odd and unpleasant movie. The characters are too repulsive to care about, but you could at least laugh at them, but the movie doesn't seem to want us to do that. Are we supposed to be impressed by them? Regard them as heroes? Hope for their downfall? What?

The violence in the movie is so ridiculous and over-the-top that it definitely seems to fit the mould of a horror comedy. But there's no other comedy in it. The plot would have been an almost ideal set-up for a satire of today's social media obsessed youth, but the movie avoids any and all opportunities for social commentary.

It keeps you at arm's length from its characters - which will probably be okay with you, honestly - but then at the end seems to expect you to care for them. I didn't.

The ending would be quite bleak in a movie with a social conscience, but this movie has none, so it's more confusing than anything.

The plot: two teenage girls have a blog called "Tragedy Girls" in which they report on local tragedies and are dying for likes - as are, apparently, the people they write about. At the film's beginning, they set-up a poor (?) ugly teenage boy to meet his demise at the hands of a local slasher, and inexplicably take the slasher hostage. Apparently they have an empty warehouse somewhere all to themselves where they can detain serial killers and cut up bodies and nobody knows about it. They don't get many more likes from these escapades so they start killing people themselves.

That is basically it. Aside from a few creative death scenes - which, admittedly, use the horror-comedy trope of bodies being about as fragile as wax figurines - there's nothing else in the movie, really. This is one of few films where the plot description on IMDB tells you everything that happens in the whole movie.

Because it's a movie about two friends, of course there's an unnecessary diversion where they have a falling out and then make up, but that's about it.

The movie, ultimately, left a bad taste in my mouth. A topic like this cries out for comedy, insight, satire, anything. I think the filmmakers just had no idea how to handle it; it's a social commentary story forced into a horror-comedy film.

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".

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

One of the most original slasher / horror films I have seen in a while. When they describe this as Scream meets Heather's they are spot on. Well worth checking out.

I understand the hate but It's not that bad in my opinion! Starts out very meh but gets much better as it goes on, very funny and great kills otherwise yeah it's bad I still appreciate Tragedy Girls; I'd support them! I really like comradery between the main girls and how they tend to do whatever they want in a way. Really not as bad as people say I mean I've seen much worse horror films.
