    Scream meets Heather's

    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.

    #somethingdifferent

    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

    Bloody good entertainment...

    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".

    Well I like it

    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.

    Funny 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

      (at 54 minutes) When Lowell frees himself from the chair, it can be seen that his hands were only zip tied to one another behind his back, and not tied to the chair. As such, he could have gotten off the chair at any time.
