Girls, Girls, Girls

It starts off like every horror movie you’ve seen. Teenage boy and girl making out in a car in a secluded area. Teenage Girl eventually hears something outside the car and tells the guy to check it out. Yells “is anywhere there” and then is stab by the “killer” who comes out of nowhere. I’m pretty sure you know what happens next but it doesn’t. “Killer” gets knocked out by Mckayla who is friends with Sadie, the “innocent” teenage girl, they drag him back to some old abandoned shack and tie the “killer” up. They tell the killer how they tracked down his pattern and would eventually end up in they’re the area. Long story short they use Lowell, the killer, as somewhat as a shrine/mentor for their own killing sprees and use those killings to boost their blog about murders in their town. To describe what Tragedy girls is trying to get at as a genre is that it’s a horror film and a satire at the same time. I think it gives a new twist to the horror genre that many people can be attracted to. It also gives the narrative of how men aren’t always the ones to be killers in horror movies. So to say the least I really enjoyed the film.

Throughout the movie, I felt some sympathy for the main characters because of how desperate they were to gain fame through these murders. I feel like there motives for doing this was because they were bored in such a small town. Plus their fascination with serial killers had prompted them to commit the murders. Not to give any spoilers away but the way the movie ends is a little cliche and was hoping that it would end with a bang but besides that fact, the movie does a good of giving life to a brand new type of serial killer and show that not everything has to be the same.
