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

IGNNo Title

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

Washington PostPat Padua

The filmโ€™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 โ€” without implicating themselves โ€” fuels a vicious satire.

Village VoiceNo Title

If Scream and Heathers shacked up and had murderous, millennial offspring, it might look a lot like Tragedy Girls.

Los Angeles TimesNoel Murray

The movieโ€™s central idea and bright young cast are so good that some of its shallowness is forgivable.

Slant MagazineHenry 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.

Austin ChronicleNo Title

Itโ€™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.

Movie NationRoger Moore

Tragedy Girls is โ€œHeathersโ€ without the just desserts (virtually no one โ€œdeservesโ€ his or her fate), โ€œMean Girlsโ€ who donโ€™t truly turn on each other, a slasher satire without a punchline.

Paste MagazineAndrew Crump

The filmโ€™s cute, zingy, candy-coated tone is seductive enough, and both Hildebrand and Shipp are compelling in their roles. You will, in short, be entertained. But if Tragedy Girlsโ€™ subject matter is odious, its tacit, but perhaps accidental, endorsement of the very thing it means to send up is jaw-dropping.

The New York TimesTeo Bugbee

Tragedy Girls might add group texts to its instruments of death alongside marauding table saws and falling barbells, but the movieโ€™s gender stereotypes keep it chained to the past.
