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.

... 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.

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

Tragedy Girls is the kind of movie that reminds you why you love horror-comedies in the first place. It’s creative, energetic, and doesn’t waste a single minute.

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.

If the girls were more “likeable” maaaaaybe it would’ve been better but nah probably not even then. It seemed like it was going somewhere good and then splintered off into predictability land. Nooooo don’t watch

It's the casual talk about killing for me. Delightfully psycho. It's pretty funny. Alexandra Shipp is so good. She nails the comedic timing and charisma. The movie has some fun poking at high school movie tropes while also wielding scathing social commentary about social media and popularity. It's perfectly cringey and uncomfortable to see on exaggerated display, while still landing as funny satire.
