Tragedy Girls is a 2017 American teen buddy comedy horror film directed by Tyler MacIntyre, written by Chris Lee Hill and MacIntyre, and starring Alexandra Shipp, Brianna Hildebrand, Josh Hutcherson, Craig Robinson, Kevin Durand and Jack Quaid.
Misunderstood high school seniors McKayla Hooper and Sadie Cunningham live in the Midwestern town of Rosedale and run a true crime blog called Tragedy Girls.
They use their friend Craig as bait to capture serial killer Lowell Orson Lehmann and ask him to aid them, but he refuses.
They next kill cheerleading captain Syl and cut her body into pieces in order to ensure that her death is ruled a homicide.
McKayla awakens the sleeping Sheriff Welch by breaking his window; he drives Lehmann off and saves Jordan.
The girls reconcile, hang Jordan, and – after chain-locking the doors shut – start a fire in the gymnasium that traps and kills 124 prom-goers.
A grieving Welch resigns as sheriff to focus on charity work, while McKayla and Sadie head off to college to start a new chapter in their lives, as though nothing had happened.
The website's critical consensus states, "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.
