Suffice to say Tragedy Girls has great fun with myriad horror movie tropes. Read full review

Funny, gut-churning, playful, wicked, and warm, Tragedy Girls is one of the better horror-comedies in recent memory. Read full review

Pat Padua

The film’s young slashers are irredeemably smug and obnoxious, and their bloodthirsty craving for social media likes, represented by heart icons that float out of their cellphones after each murder that they document — without implicating themselves — fuels a vicious satire. Read full review

Henry Stewart

The film's central theme, about where attention-starved narcissism leads when taken to extremes, isn't quite sufficient to sustain an entire feature. Read full review

Tragedy Girls is “Heathers” without the just desserts (virtually no one “deserves” his or her fate), “Mean Girls” who don’t truly turn on each other, a slasher satire without a punchline. Read full review

It’s a ridiculous setup, but the action embraces the silliness for a sick, slick satire, as the girls get bloodier and more gruesomely creative to get their moment of fame. Read full review

Tragedy Girls might add group texts to its instruments of death alongside marauding table saws and falling barbells, but the movie’s gender stereotypes keep it chained to the past. Read full review

Metacritic's busted site won't let me leave a score without writing a review, so my review is this: see this movie. Rent it, stream it, watch it right away. I don't want to spoil a single thing.

A half-hearted attempt at satire within the slasher genre. It starts promising enough but the idea gets old really fast. Partly because the two protagonists are annoying, interchangeable, one-dimensional or in short whatever the script wants them to be, but not interesting. For a satire it'sA half-hearted attempt at satire within the slasher genre. It starts promising enough but the idea gets old really fast. Partly because the two protagonists are annoying, interchangeable, one-dimensional or in short whatever the script wants them to be, but not interesting. For a satire it's way too superficial and has nothing really to say about social media. For a slasher it has way to little kills and thrills. It might have worked as a short film, but in this form it's just being tedious.… Expand
