I was really looking forward to this one but I just couldn't get past the annoying lead characters. Even WITHOUT the killing they were annoying. This isn't a statement against the actors. They were great and I have enjoyed them in other films. But the way these characters are written is just like the screen equivalent to nails on a chalkboard. I wasn't a fan of the ending either. These days, endings like these are a dime a dozen. They aren't fresh or original anymore. I can name a ton of recent movies that try to be "edgy" with endings where the villains win. It's almost become boring by now because it is so expected. This movie just isn't fresh or original at all. You could easily watch Heathers, Jawbreaker, Mean Girls, Ginger Snaps, Scream if you wanna see better versions of teen high school politics, two girls obsessed with death, or the whole self-referential deal. Other movies have done it and they have done it better.

I checked this stuff because I like horror comedies, I was hoping for violence and gore and I have some respect for some of the actors (Kevin Durand, Timothy V. Murphy and beauty Nicky Whelan).We got this:
Young "Storm" from "X-men: Apocalypse" is best friend with "Sinead O'Connor" from "Deadpool". They are in high school and they want attention from social media.
They track down serial killer, and become serial killers themselves.Cons:
I was disappointed with amount of violence and gore here, I was expecting much more I guess.
I was also disappointed with main characters trying to be funny. They were just annoying sometimes.Pros:
There was very good editing, nice directing and OK soundtrack.
Director can make good stuff in the future, he is also a good editor.
Bonus: I liked "Cannibal Holocaust"-style scene, if you know what I mean.Teenagers will be pleased with this.

"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 mold of a horror comedy. But there's no other comedy. 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. You don't.Again, 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. 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.
