Tragedy Girls (2017) with Sarah Parvis

McKayla and Sadie are best friends with a mutual love of social media and murder. The proprietors of the Instagram, Twitter, and every other platform account Tragedy Girls, the ladies initially befriend, then capture serial killer Lowell, and, over the course of the film, proceed to use him as a rationale for a series of grisly murders around their small, midwestern town of Rosedale.  Meanwhile, Jordan, the son of the local sheriff, is assisting the girls with their online videos, but soon comes to suspect there may be more to their story than they’re letting on. Tragedy Girls is a dark comedy about the course of true love and friendship, and what happens when a town beset by terrible misfortunes falls prey to a couple of influencers who only have mayhem on their minds.
