Trailer: Tragedy Girls
A twist on the slasher genre following two death-obsessed teenage girls who use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small mid-western town into a frenzy.
Fast paced, cleverly constructed and very well cast, Tyler MacIntyre's audacious teen horror/comedy pays tribute to genre milestones like Heathers and Scream while upping the ante on ruthlessness and gore.
Like any good satirist, MacIntyre has a knack for having it both ways. If the self-absorption of the Instagram generation is mocked, so too are moral panics about what kids might be up to online.
Similarly, the heroines' unrepentant evil overturns every sentimental cliche from movies about female friendship; yet their actions can also be read as payback for the way young women have been treated over the last half-century of slasher flicks.
