I have seen more than a couple horror/erotic crossovers and I can tell you that this movie is not the worst the genre has to offer. If you have seen a couple of Jesus Franco films you'll know what I mean.Of course it has got a silly script, poor actors, bad production values and a serious lack of gore. But at least you can tell by looking at this movie that they have put some serious effort in it all. Not that it really makes the movie great but at least it makes this movie a better watch than you would perhaps expect.Problem with these horror/erotic movies crossovers is that they are not scary enough to please any horror fans and not erotic enough to make this movie effective on that field.This movie is part of the Slumber Party Massacre franchise but yet the movie doesn't really follow any of the stories from the previous movies. At least not in the way things really occurred. I mean a girl who died in the first movie suddenly now has survived the attack and reappears in this movie. The killer is also supposedly the same as in the first movie, which also seems highly unlikely since he had his hand chopped off and got completely pierced.The movie is at least not as boring as the two previous Slumber Party Massacre movies. The movie is fairly well paced and offers plenty of interesting moments.Of course not a great movie but really not the worst the genre has to offer either.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Amusing enough throwback to late 1970s early 1980s slasher movies, with lots of good looking (albeit young) girls, scantily clad and large breasted, who end up hiking through the wilderness and eventually hold up in a remote cabin during a snowstorm after their van runs out of gas. They begin the usual drinking and f**king in this luxurious and fully stocked cabin, before being sliced and diced by an unseen killer. The ever present clichés notwithstanding, this is actually kind of a funny little Z-movie, a hybrid of slasher flicks and soft core porno, with the requisite nude/ shower scenes featuring mostly porno chicks in their first and only horror flick and a couple of gory killings thrown in so that this can actually be called a "horror" movie. It can't always rise above the microscopic budget: with its home video quality look and feel to it despite some occasionally inspired camera work, and the bouncy girl on the footbridge was clearly only about 8 feet off the ground, while trying to appear to be 200 feet in the air. The final resolution about the killer's identity is far from surprising or convincing, and is probably the biggest letdown. The biggest mystery about this movie: why are the opening credits shown in front of two Christmas tree angels and a flashlight?It's certainly no classic, but it's slightly better than some people here have said, and the deleted scene on the DVD, which was taken from an unfinished project, along with Julie Corgil's bouncy 33Ds, make this worth the rental price alone.

A movie like this makes me appreciate the work that professional actors do. I think movie-goers, in general, are a little too hard on professional actors and are ready to bash them for the most minuscule reasons. Just watch a couple minutes of "Cheerlader Massacre," and trust me, you'll change your views. A razzie would be almost a compliment for these no-talent actors. But then again, it's a Jim Wynorski film. Wynorski is a popular director of these ultra low-budget B-movies (having worked with Roger Corman on many an occasion). The problem with this movie is it actually tries to develop a plot. And when you have actors delivering lines like they're reading letters off an eye chart, how am I supposed to care? In Wynorski's "Bare Wench 2," he didn't try to develop a plot. He simply tried to make a softcore porn/goofy takeoff on the "Blair Witch Project." It was fun and it was titillating. "Cheerleader Masscare" is no fun. There are a couple obligatory female nude scenes, but they are few and far between. So it's not even worth enjoying on an erotic level. I must say, the worst scene is the one where Nikki Fritz walks across a bridge that's about to collapse. First of all, her character didn't have to walk across that bridge. Second of all, as the bridge starts creaking, rather than try her best to run across, she just stands there and acts helpless. And top it off, we don't actually see the bridge collapse because the filmmakers made this for a budget of 2 dollars!!! Unlike a lot of B-horror films, this one's actually boring. And that's what makes it the worst of all bad movies. One of the few bright spots was Lunk Johnson, who's probably the most natural actor in the film (though certainly no more than halfway decent). He was funny in "Bare Wench 2," and had some funny scenes in this movie too.

Originally harped as a sequel to "The Slumber Party Massacre" series, this film falls flat on it's face with a new title. First off, if you are going to include the word "massacre" in your film's title, you better deliver. This one certainly does not. There is no gore, no on screen murders and no chainsaw, as the box art would lead you to believe. Instead, we get a paper thin, overdone plot about a group of cheerleaders who get stranded in an abandoned cabin on the way to a football game, only to be offed one by one. Again, this film could have been OK if the gore quotient was upped a bit. Why directors, especially those doing direct-to-video flicks, are afraid to show ANY gore is beyond me. Now, I am not a huge fan of excessive gore, but come on...why else would anyone rent a movie called "Cheerleader Massacre??" Besides that problem, the film suffers from a shot-on-a-home-video-camera cheapness. It looks cheap, sounds cheap, and the actors aren't all that good. It tries to throw us off track to who the killer may be, but even that fails. The ending ends up being a ridiculous mess. Folks, if you run across this film, walk away and go find the original "Slumber Party Massacre." 2 out of 10.
