This is a poor remake with poor production values. It almost looks amateurish.Some High School cheerleaders get attacked one night by the High School Jocks and end up driving into the river.Lucky for them a girl at the High School and also a friendly, neighbourhood witch revives them and they have unusual powers such as a lust for blood. Not sure how these girls have got a vampire type blood-lust.The girls ineptly plan revenge on the boys who attacked them but the alpha male, who is the most sadistic and vile figures out that these cheerleaders have special powers and he is hell bent on acquiring them.The film has a great deal of uneven tone. A typical High School comedy about the beautiful people, bitchiness to bullying and the worse kind of cruel, male bullying. It varies wildly unsure whether it wants to be a black horror comedy, campy silliness to supernatural, or just plain cruel.
... View MoreThe poster looks pretty good. The trailer looks OK.Then I realized any small part of this movie worth watching had been crammed into a 90 second trailer.The sound is cheap. I had to turn my volume up to around 90 to hear anything with any real clarity.The effects are even cheaper - if you're going to kill people on the cheap you may as well throw some real dead bodies around the screen as I'm fairly certain their acting would at a minimum be on a par with what I was watching on screen.45 minutes in I had to remind myself if I didn't claw my way to the end of this film I'd have wasted 45 minutes. In the end, as expected it turned out I'd wasted 90.Even the hot women couldn't save this movie. All Cheerleaders Die? After watching this I thought I might. Abysmal.
... View More***Possible spoiler but only regarding the style of movie**I rated it a full 10 stars because I love finding those gems that really get you hooked. This was one for me, its not a typical cheesy cheerleader flick, its a quirky supernatural thriller - definitely one for the girls. I love me a good revenge movie with a heroine. The actors are great, its definitely good enough to be shown at the cinemas, its one of my favourite movies now!Is it scary? No, not at all, but its dark, its funny, its damn weird - a cult, to me. You'll at least enjoy the weirdness of it.I love how weird it is.
... View MoreBetter than I'd heard. It has some major flaws. My guess is that there was some producer interference, because the set-up could have been better developed. It feels a tad chopped up. The whole horror premise is caused by vague, supernatural bullcrap that really could have used some better defining. Once it all gets going, though, the film is kind of fun. Four cheerleaders die in a car accident that's caused by the football stars. A goth teen (Sianoa Smit-McPhee) who once dated one of the cheerleaders (Caitlin Stasey) finds their bodies and brings them back to life through witchcraft. As with anything brought back from the dead, the cheerleaders become bloodthirsty monsters who want revenge. It's a pretty basic horror premise, but it works largely because of the very good cast. The other three cheerleaders are played by Brooke Butler, Amanda Grace Cooper and Reanin Johannik. The villain (the captain of the football team) is well played by Tom Williamson. Certainly not one of McKee's best works, but it's better than a majority of the horror films that are being released nowadays.
