A 2017 horror-comedy film, directed by Tyler MacIntyre, starring Brianna Hildebrand and Alexandra Shipp.Best friends Sadie (Hildebrand) and McKayla (Shipp) do everything together, including running their true crime website, "Tragedy Girls." In order to gain the recognition they so desperately crave, they decide to do what anyone would do: murder people themselves and then report on it. Meanwhile, they've managed to capture a local Serial Killer, Lowell Orson Lehmann, and are currently keeping him locked up in a warehouse, in the hopes of using him as a scapegoat. As the Tragedy Girls become an overnight sensation, Sadie and McKayla fight to keep one step ahead of the local law enforcement, and keep their friendship intact.The film was given a limited release in October 2017, before becoming available for streaming in February 2018. Blending elements of the classic slasher genre and social satire, it's been compared to both Scream and Heathers for its dark comedic elements. Jack Quaid stars as the girls' classmate, Jordan, and Kevin Durand stars as Lowell. Josh Hutcherson and Craig Robinson also appear in minor roles, with Robinson also working as a producer. | |

Daddy's Girl | |
| Tragedy Girls / int_19fe3478 | comment |
Daddy's Girl: Sadie is very close with her dad, making him dinner and doting after him. He in turn is protective when she goes on a date, staring at the boy with a long, blank stare to intimidate him into not trying anything. Sadie's mom is absent, which makes this even more telling, indicating she might have stepped into her mom's role with him. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Tragedy Girls / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: The archetype is played with quite a bit. Syl at first seems like a classic example, being popular, a cheerleader, hotheaded, and having an underling that she's rude to... except most of her bitchy moments come when she's already stressed out, and other than that, she comes off as a normal, generally nice girl who does charity work in her spare time. Sadie and McKayla come much closer, as they're both utterly horrible people who appear to be pretty popular at school, especially when Tragedy Girls takes off... except in the public eye, they're all sweetness and light. | |

| Tragedy Girls / int_26e0156d | comment |
Unnervingly Heartwarming: The girls clearly hold lots of genuine affection for each other and are the best of friends, frequently holding hands, sticking up for each other, and planning out their lives together. It's all very sweet until you're reminded that those plans involve a killing spree, and the thing that draws them together is a lust for blood. Similarly, they both get along well with their parents and actually seem sort of human when interacting with them, hammering in how utterly and painfully clueless they are about their after-school activities. | |

Nightmare Fetishist: Both girls show an unhealthy interest in death, what with being Serial Killers and all. In one scene, Sadie blows off an Almost Kiss with Jordan to peer at some pictures of violent crime scenes, noting how "amazing" the blood splatter is. In another, McKayla makes out with Toby while he bleeds to death. Their friendship has certain undertones to it as well. | |

Lovable Alpha Bitch: Syl is a popular cheerleader that has her moments of bitchiness, but she's not really a bad person. She does charity work and is generally pretty nice — most of her nastier moments can be attributed to her being a stressed teenager who's lashing out. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Tragedy Girls / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: In a very literal example, the girls admit to having killed several cats and dogs in order to figure out how to dissolve a body. They say they used strays, which is already awful, but then it's implied they used Sadie's own pet cat, too — and a guy at the town hall meeting mentions that many neighborhood pets have gone missing. McKayla hates Jordan and goes out of her way to be needlessly rude — even though, as Sadie points out, he's the sheriff's son and edits their videos for them, so antagonizing him isn't really a good idea. At one point, Sadie doesn't correct a reporter who credits all of the Tragedy Girls' work to her. McKayla is very hurt by this. During their argument, McKayla makes a nasty comment about Sadie's "ratchet-ass trailer." Even Sadie looks taken aback at how petty this is. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Big Al is hotheaded and impulsive, but he's genuinely trying to protect the community. When Sadie shows up at the gym to kill him, his immediate instinct is to protect McKayla, at least before he realizes she's in on the attack too. Mrs. Kent is abrasive, blunt, and cheating on her husband, but she cares about her students. Toby comes off as a self-involved tool, but when he gets an ominous phone call that makes him think McKayla is in danger, he immediately goes off to check on her. | |

This is actually a double trouble entendre, as they really are in part talking about their plot to murder everybody at their version of the perfect prom. | |

Serial Killer Baiting | |
| Tragedy Girls / int_54c29754 | comment |
Serial Killer Baiting: It opens with Sadie and McKayla succeeding to trap Lowell. The baiting operation took them quite a lot of work; figuring out Lowell's pattern, his usual hunting grounds, what kind of girls he liked to kill. Even then, it took a lot of trial and error (and a lot of trips to the local Makeout Point) before he finally showed up. | |

Boyish Short Hair: Sadie sports a pixie cut she dyed platinum blonde throughout the film. Initially, it's just to lure Lowell, who targets young women with short hair, but Sadie likes how it looks so she keeps this. It fits pretty well with her slightly masculine clothing style. | |

The Dividual: Played with. Many characters — including the girls themselves — see Sadie and McKayla as this, the latter even describing them as "the same person." However, Jordan and Lowell both note, in very different ways, that the girls are more unique than you'd think at first glance. They ultimately seem to decide that they are different, but in a "our whole is greater than the sum of our parts" kind of way, since McKayla pushes Sadie to act, while Sadie keeps McKayla reigned in. | |

Serial Killer: Our "heroes". Over the course of the film, they kill Craig, Toby, Syl, Big Al, Mrs. Kent, Lowell, Jordan, and the entire senior class. That last one technically makes them mass-murderers. Oh, and they also killed Jordan's mom in the backstory. Lowell killed four people before the movie began. | |

Auto Erotica: The film begins with what appears to be the standard opening for a slasher film: a blonde girl and her boyfriend making out in the backseat of a car with steamed-up windows at the local make-out spot (in this case, a covered bridge). The girl hears a noise and sends the boy out to investigate. However, when the Serial Killer does show up, the film goes in a completely different direction. | |

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The only thing we know for sure is that Rosedale is somewhere in the Midwest, but Jordan's suggestions for where Sadie could go to college (Kent State and Ohio State University) suggest it's in Ohio. It was filmed in Kentucky, which borders Ohio, and they're both part of a Tristate area that often counts the other states for "in-state" tuition. | |

Villain with Good Publicity: Sadie and McKayla carefully maintain their image as teenage intrepid reporters just trying to solve the serial murders plaguing their town (which they mostly commit themselves). At worst, they get denounced by Mrs. Kent for using this to advance their future careers. By the end of the film, not only has Sadie been awarded for saving Jordan (whom she later killed) but they're hailed for being the survivors of the massacre they committed, with a book deal, a film deal and full rides to college as a result. | |

Foreshadowing: At the scene in the cafe, McKayla states that she and Sadie haven't gone on their first killing spree yet. Note the wording — she does not say they haven't killed anyone. Turns out, their first murder was years ago. Sadie and McKayla are very much opposed to the prom getting cancelled. Turns out, they have a plan to kill everyone there. When Sadie and McKayla are getting ready to kill Toby they check themselves out in the mirror. McKayla jokes that they'll need to start wearing masks because if they keep dressing so well people will know it's them. Later, while wearing masks and stalking Syl, McKayla is recognised by her distinctive shoes. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas | |
| Tragedy Girls / int_9fe35833 | comment |
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Or, in this case, Even Bad Girls Love Their Parents. While we don't see too many scenes of the girls interacting with their parents, they do appear to care about them, at least a little, and act affectionately towards them. Notably, the girls don't trash-talk them when they're alone, the same way they do Toby, Jordan, and Big Al, implying that the affection is genuine. | |

Pseudo-Romantic Friendship | |
| Tragedy Girls / int_a058376e | comment |
Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: The film has the friendship between McKayla Hooper and Sadie Cunningham. As evil and psychopathic as both girls are, they truly and deeply love one another, and frequently hold hands, spend all their time together, and kill people together to achieve fame. It's to the extent that their temporary falling-out is treated like a breakup, and both are clearly deeply miserable without each other. Yeah, their friendship is closer than a lot of people's marriages. They share everything with one another, and are also very physically affectionate, frequently holding hands or leaning on each other. | |

Shout-Out: McKayla describes Syl's gruesome (and utterly ridiculous) demise as, "Some serious Final Destination shit." While disposing of a body by dissolving it in industrial lye, the girls admit they got the idea from Breaking Bad. Sadie makes a reference to Yoda when she explains looking for a teacher to Lowell. The way the Mayor is impaled on the flagpole is staged exactly like the unfortunate native from Cannibal Holocaust. | |

Pet the Dog: Sadie regularly cooks for her father. When she leaves for college at the end, she tells him she has ten dinners ready for him in the fridge. In general, the girls seem genuinely fond of their parents. Some of McKayla's scenes with her mom and dad would be downright heartwarming if they weren't so painfully oblivious about what their "sunshine" is doing after school. Even after their falling-out, McKayla still refuses to let Lowell kill Sadie, even telling him, "She's off-limits." | |
