Tragedy Girls (2017)
7/10
Tragedy Girls is a Scream-esque take on the slasher genre for the new age
29 August 2018
Tragedy Girls is very fun and self aware. It knows exactly what audience it was made for and doesnt try to be anything more. Its not marketed as an incredible shocking thriller, its a comedic teen slasher film based around topics that are very understandable for modern youth. Things I liked about this movie: Its alot of fun all the way through, there was no point where I felt like I was bored or losing interest in what was happening. The soundtrack is really great compared to alot of other horror movies I've seen where the scoring is extremely forgettable. Almost every song is very well paired with the scene its playing over. I especially enjoyed the trailer song, "Always Forever" By Cults, it was what initially attracted me to the trailer and after seeing the movie it has an entirely new meaning about the main characters. The only song That I felt was really in your face was the first song that played during the prom it didnt really land with me that well. The cinematography is very good in my opinion, the movie has alot of great shots that are incredibly pleasing to look at and that is a very big part of movies for me its what drives my opinion away from other movies of a similar caliber.

Things I did not like about the movie: From the trailers and most of the movie the girls seem to have an established motive but it doesnt seem like they always stick to it some of the murders and a certain part of their backstory strays from it but it doesnt take that much away from the overall watching experience. Alot of the characters introduced aside from the main two girls are very forgettable and mostly just thrown in as plot devices. The girls get away with all of there murders very very easily it could have been a little bit more well recieved if they werent apparently the two best killers of all time.

Overall I enjoyed this movie and if youre looking for a couple laughs I'd definitly recommend it.
