What to Know

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... Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 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 Nov 10, 2017 Full Review Pat Padua Washington Post For the most part ... the movie cranks visceral, caffeinated thrills out of its teenage-meat grinder. Rated: 3/4 Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Dev Shea Boom Howdy 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. Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Frederick Blichert Vice 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. Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Manages to blend humor with horror in a way that feels fresh, giving a new generation of horror fans their very own Scream. Rated: 4/5 Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

brown s WOW THIS MOVIE WAS ON A GOOD TRACK IN THE BEGINNING, BUT I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ALL THE OTHER VIEWERS THIS WAS A TOTAL MESS AFTERWARDS. THIS CANT BE TO SERIOUS OF A MOVIE WITH TEENAGE GIRLS THAT ARE OBSESS OF THEMSELFS AND SOCIAL MEDIA. I SURE WAS HOPING THEM LUNATICS GOT CAUGHT AT THE END I HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Jayme R Help why was it so bad. It was so cringy it was hilarious and i couldnt stop laughing from absolute CRINGE. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Julie C 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review 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.
