High school can be hell in its own right, but it becomes downright deadly when two social media savvy students become serial killers in Tyler MacIntyre's Tragedy Girls. Ahead of the film's October 20th release, Gunpowder & Sky released an official poster and two new clips from the movie to help sweeten the wait.

Synopsis: "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 up 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?"

Directed by Tyler MacIntyre, Tragedy Girls stars Alexandra Shipp, Brianna Hildebrand, Josh Hutcherson, Craig Robinson , Kevin Durand, Jack Quaid, Timothy V. Murphy, Nicky Whelan , Austin Abrams, Kerry Rhodes, and Mary Carmen Lopez. Gunpowder & Sky will release Tragedy Girls in theaters on October 20th.
