DVD Pick: Tragedy Girls

I know there are people who can't stand when actors, authors, etc. promote their projects but it's a good way to find out about something. For instance, if actress Alexandra Shipp hadn't recently tweeted about her movie Tragedy Girls I never would have known about it.

Since I had never heard of it, I looked the movie up and saw that it was released last year. After watching the trailer, I thought it looked really interesting with these two aspiring reporters turning into serial killers all so they gain social media fame. How outrageous is that?

I wanted to post this just in case anyone else never heard of it. I'm going to get the DVD/Blu-ray but it's also available digitally as well.

Starring: Alexandra Shipp, Brianna Hildebrand, Josh Hutcherson, Craig Robinson, Kevin Durand and more

Director: Tyler MacIntyre

Description:

Best friends Sadie and McKayla are on a mission to boost their social media fandom as amateur crime reporters hot on the trail of a deranged local serial killer. After they manage to capture the killer and secretly hold him hostage, they realize the best way to get scoops on future victims would be to, you know, murder people themselves. As the @TragedyGirls become an overnight sensation and panic grips their small town, can their friendship survive the strain of national stardom? Will they get caught? Will their accounts get verified?
