TRAGEDY GIRLS

Deep in the American heartland, the police treat serial murders as accidental deaths. But two high-school journalists know the truth. Obsessed with fame on Tumblr and Twitter, they need stronger stuff to report on. They then commit murders so atrocious that no one could call them accidents and capture the serial killer to help them hone their skills. Taken seriously, Tragedy Girls is a lampoon of the guttery side of social media and the vacuous youth who inhabit it. But it’s also an invigorating, jaunty comedy, with the most refreshing high-school horror heroines to emerge in years. Gorgeous, ingenious and sublimely sociopathic – @TragedyGirls
