Based on a true story, True Story tells the story of a NYT journalist disgraced for publishing an untrue story about neo-African slavery who must earn back his mag - cover reputation by penning the true story of a wily,
potential homicidal killer notorious for telling untrue stories.
Although the Lowell sub-plot and the difficulty involved in establishing
homicidal maniacs as leads keeps Tragedy Girls from realizing its full
potential (remember, in Scream, the killers weren't the heroes), it is all an interesting and fun take on an old genre in a new century.
