I've never been a big fan of Lucky McKee, even though I've only seen a few of his films. He comes of to me as an utterly pretentious, man-tool feminist. And this mess of a "film" is no exception. There's nothing funny or clever here. We're presented with a cast completely consisting of truly fathomable characters. We're also expected to overlook ridiculous things like the idea that magic, glowing rocks bring a group of air-headed cheerleaders back to life with an inexplicable (and unexplained) taste for blood. So we have a bunch of surprisingly average looking girls (who's acting skills aren't much better) wandering around, glowing like light-brites as they suck the blood out of jocks with the wretched power of CGI. Dismal stuff with no redeeming values. Please spare yourself, and don't give this guy any more of your money. Horror cannot be achieved through metaphorical, feminist crap like this.

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.

I'm shocked by how harsh the reviews are for this film. No, this is not Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane, but for what it is, the movie is pretty great. I caught this film after it came out on Netflix and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Compared to 90% of horror films being made today, this one is infinitely more engaging and clever. At the same time, it has all the classic elements of a teen scream that one would look for if you were in the mood for that type of film. Honestly, it's an inventive take on a classic move genre and well worth your time if you are in the mood for some silly, gory fun. Highly recommend you ignore all the people who trashed this movie and see it for yourself. You'll be glad you did.

Some girl who doesn't like cheerleaders is filming some documentary about them, following the main cheerleader around. That one is one bitchy chick, who dies a hilarious death while showing off on video during practice. So what does Maddy, the cheerleader-hating girl do? Audition for dead girl's place.Also following them around is a wiccan chick. And of course you've got to have the football players, one uglier and more obnoxious than the other. Maddy gets the now-main cheerleader, Tracy, to think that her guy, one of the football players, is cheating on her. She insults him via text. He doesn't understand but gets angry. During some evening soiree out in the woods, the girls are hanging out in one area, the guys in another. Maddy seduces Tracy who when she sees her guy attacks him verbally. He punches her brutally. When the girls leave in their car they fall down a cliff and die. The wicking girl resurrects them with her magic crystals which embed themselves into each of the girls. And indeed, they come back to life. In the case of two sisters though they awaken in the other's body.Quickly they realize that they need human blood to survive and that they are somehow connected. When one of them lusts or hungers, the others feel it too. Of course they will have to take revenge on the guys who are stunned to see them walk around school when they saw them die the night before. But it won't be easy as the woman-brutalizer who apparently owns the football team even though he isn't the quarterback, figures out what is going on and uses that knowledge to his advantage.Lucky McKee continues his quest to show Hollywood that he's the most feminist filmmaker of feminist filmmakers. Aside from the standard obnoxious demonization of men, or in this case, boys, All Cheerleaders Die is a well-done and somewhat original supernatural horror movie. Of course a movie like this depends entirely on the girls, and Caitlin Stasey and Brooke Butler make it work. The lovely Amanda Grace Cooper is a revelation. What doesn't work though is some of the male cast and characters starting with the atrocious villain. I also would have preferred a different actress to play the witch. You know, witches can be hot, too. They don't all have to look weird and creepy. A more serious problem though is that you have a campy movie about cheerleaders but with almost no nudity. At least there's some kissing among the girls. Also annoying is the push to try and sell us a soundtrack CD by constantly adding some completely out of place music that rarely fits the scene. Still, I enjoyed this movie and look forward to sequels.
