Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Casual murder and splatter fun in the horror genre are usually still left to men. With THE LOVED ONES (2009) and TRAGEDY GIRLS (2017), women can finally get involved. From an escalating prom date to a true crime podcast that is claiming more and more victims. There is a cheerful slaughter in February.

‍Lola is shy, plucks up all her courage and wants to go to prom with Brent. But he is already accompanied. His mistake. Without further ado, with the help of Lola's father, he is kidnapped and forced to spend a romantic evening in the idyllic setting of the “Texas Chainsaw Family Dinner” genre. THE LOVED ONES (2009) is Australian teenage splatter horror and teaches that love cannot be enforced with a hammer and nails. Robin McLeavy is great as Robin, who effortlessly switches between a teenager in love and a cold-blooded maniac in her performance.

In the true crime podcast TRAGEDY GIRLS (2017), McKayla and Sadie address small and big tragedies from the neighborhood. With little success. Because there are no likes and followers, they start to make up for the tragedies. This escalates faster than you can subscribe to their channel. As fame grows, so does the number of victims — until the whole thing really gets out of hand.
