Check out the first trailer for All Cheerleaders Die, in which T&A meet teenage revenge fantasies. In a nutshell, four “mean girl” cheerleaders are killed — but the school goth girl brings them back to life, except now they’re super-powered and bent on revenge. Looks like stupid good fun.
Variety reviewed All Cheerleaders Die at Toronto Film Festival, and said:
Mashing together elements redolent of “The Craft,” “Species,” “Pet
Sematary” and anything featuring toned young bods jiggling booty and
tossing hair in slo-mo, “All Cheerleaders Die” has fun with its umpteen
cliches. Still, the satirical edge is underplayed enough to make some
viewers wonder whether the film is faux-stupid or the real thing.
SciFi Now was a bit more positive:
It’s also refreshing to see a revenge fantasy film as bizarre as this,
for the most part unburdened by the usual moral quandaries that label
implies. This being a high-school film, sex plays a big part in the
story, but it’s treated with the same irreverent sense of humour as the
other events in the film. There is violence and threat, but the women
are just as dangerous as the men, if not more so. All Cheerleaders Die
is not without moments of dark intensity and danger, but once the
second act begins, it’s a fantastically fun, gruesome and bizarre ride… All Cheerleaders Die is a hugely entertaining piece of horror escapism.
