Critics Consensus

Tragedy Girls injects familiar teen tropes with just enough up-to-the-minute commentary -- and pitch-black humor -- to work as an irreverently entertaining diversion.

Alex McLevy

AV Club

... Imagine instead a Heathers that gleefully goes all the way past the point of nihilism, and ends up in a warped funhouse mirror reflection of society that blends camp and satire in equal measure...

In the meantime, I don't want to oversell a near-great B-movie that is nonetheless a B-movie. Suffice to say Tragedy Girls has great fun with myriad horror movie tropes.

Rated: 3.5/4

For the most part ... the movie cranks visceral, caffeinated thrills out of its teenage-meat grinder.

Rated: 3/4

The lovely little psychopaths, the gore gags, the realistic and entertaining exchanges: they are all perfect. While the ending isn’t necessarily realistic, it’s tied in a pretty pink blood splattered bow and I was really happy with it.

It's over the top, but it maintains a sense of real-worldness, making every murder feel that much more resonantand making laughing that much more uncomfortable.

I saw the high ratings and thought I’d give Tragedy Girls a chance. What a mistake. What had potential in the first quarter of the movie quickly went off the rails quickly. I didn’t just dislike it, I hated it. And we have complete stupidity at the end. Avoid “Tragedy Girls”, what a horrible movie.

This film is a pretty accurate depiction of the crossing of serial killer and social media. It is watchable but did not keep me on the edge of my seat. It not something I will remember much of jn a few weeks. The acting is good but no one really stands put or captivates me.

Awful movie. The main characters were so annoying I only watched to the end to see them get caught or suffer or something but there was nothing like that. Save yourself the time, don’t watch.

Oscar

Tragedy Girls attempts to blend dark comedy with horror elements, but unfortunately, it falls short of delivering a cohesive and engaging experience. The film centers around two high school friends who are obsessed with gaining social media fame by orchestrating a series of murders. While the premise is intriguing and the lead actresses give commendable performances, the execution leaves much to be desired. The movie struggles with tone, often swinging between satire and gore without finding a balanced middle ground. This inconsistency makes it challenging to connect with the story and its characters. The humor, which is meant to be dark and edgy, sometimes feels forced and detracts from the overall impact of the film. Additionally, the plot is predictable and lacks the twists and depth needed to keep the audience invested. While the film does have moments of cleverness, they are few and far between, making it a frustrating watch for those looking for a more sophisticated take on the genre. Overall, Tragedy Girls is a mixed bag that doesnt quite live up to its potential. Its an ambitious effort, but one that ultimately misses the mark.
