Summary: Bring on the cheerleaders!!
Review: ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT does it again with this hard to find horror film that i totally forgot about. I know that i used to own a BETA copy of this movie and then the tape got all stuck in the vcr and it screwed my machine and i had to throw it out!

But like a decaying zombie, it's come back from the dead!

About the movie, i remember it being very entertaining and had all the things you'd except from a 80's slasher film..cheesy story, some nudity, original kills and twist ending!

Can't wait to pick it up when it comes out, and at that price..you should too!!

ANCHOR BAY RULES!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun Horror Film
Review: Cheerleader Camp is a typical slasher flick, but a lot of fun. It has a cute little twist at the end. I like the characters, the film was done well. The lighting, sound etc. indicate that it was produced seriously and not like some slasher flicks I've seen. Of couse there's some nudity, some grisly deaths, humor and a mystery murderer, plus it's mindless fun. Exactly what I like.

Anchor Bay did the digital transfer. I was very pleased with my DVD. If it's Anchor Bay, expect a quality transfer.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pure crap. But, oh, those cheerleaders!
Review: How could a slasher movie from that glorious decade of the '80s, one named Cheerleader Camp, be anything less than pure brilliance? Oh, let me count the ways. For starters, the film makers tried to mix in a lot of teen sex comedy elements into this, which utterly destroys any possibility of suspense or scariness. Then they tossed in (or hauled via flatbed truck) a huge fat guy who moons the camera for a solid minute. Just what I want in a movie called Cheerleader Camp. NOT!

The movie basically has four parts. In the first, the glorious cheerleaders arrive at the camp, meet a few people, then go to their cabins and generally look fabulous. This part is good, except of course we've got the fat guy mooning, and then there's that '70s disco god Leif Garret, the high-school cheerleader with the badly receding hairline. We get to see him sticking a sock in his underwear. Ah, Cheerleader Camp.

In the second part, they switch to full comedy mode. Most scenes do nothing to advance the plot, but are just dumb, time-wasting comedy sketches, like some rip off of Porky's or something. There are a lot of dream sequences, so when a murder takes place, we don't know if it actually happened or not.

The third part is the cheerleader competition, which is pretty lame. The fat guy (he's a cheerleader, LOL) trips over his own flab and our girls lose. They spent the first part of the movie talking about how important the competition was, but now it's just funny to them. This is the kind of awful nonsense that ruins this movie. The characters have no motivation, they don't care, why should we?

The fourth part is a bunch of running around in the woods, again ruined by the fat guy who is now in full comedy mode. It could have been suspenseful and really quite good, there would have been absolutely no effort required to make it so, but they went out of their way to wreck it with their insipid attempts at humor.

Overall, as a comedy it's not funny, it's just incredibly juvenile and stupid. As a slasher it's not scary or suspenseful. It's basically as pathetic as it gets. The cheerleaders - the female ones - are great looking, and that's the only thing keeping this mess from getting the one star rating it deserves. My compliments to the writer, producer, director, and everyone else involved in creating this thing. They took a concept that it would be almost impossible to screw up, and via sheer ineptitude, drove it straight into the toilet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun 80's horror
Review: I think this is one of the most fun chessy horror movie from the 80's. Betsy russel the head cheerleader suffers from hallucinations of killing's. Filled with gore and a unbelievable plot cheerleader camp is defintely for those who love horror movies from the 80's like me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Crazy camp.
Review: Okay, this is a B-horror movie featuring some unrealistic events and young girls with their tops off. Nevertheless, it's funny and a classic if cheerleaders are not your game. Our head cheerleader (Miss Perfect in an imperfect way) is having bad dreams, and dealing with a sleazy boyfriend and some airhead friends running from horny men working at the camp. And what is with Ms. Tipton and the sheriff and their kinky (and eerie) game? Ah, put me to rest.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Competition is murder at Cheerleader Camp
Review: The Lindo Valley squad arrives at Cheerleading Camp to compete in district finals. Then members of their squad start to disappear.ARe they being killed by the cook, the janitor, or Brent, the boyfriend of one of the cheerleaders.Cheerleader Camp stars the knock out Betsy Russell(Private School,Tomboy,Avenging Angel), and former teen idol Leif Garrett(Walking Tall II,Walking Tall-The Final Chapter). Not a great piece of work,but worth a view.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: this is a good movie
Review: The world of horror flicks branches into many sub-genres; slasher flicks, zombie flicks, and one of my personal favorites, the summer camp movie. Movies from this genre follow the simple plot of teens going to a summer camp, and with that taste of freedom, drinking, sex, and such youthful shenanigans occur. At some point, a mysterious killer appears and starts taking youths left and right. This movie does nothing to expand on this theme, but it's a ripping good time. The main twist of this flick is that instead of a regular summer camp, it's a cheerleader camp. The nudity is gratuitous, the gore factor is pretty light (as compared to many other horror movies, but amusing enough)and the laughs are plentiful. Not necessarily a must see for connisseurs of trash cinema, but definitely filling and worthwhile a viewing or three.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great horror
Review: This is one of the all time horror classics. How can you not love a hooror movie with Buck Flowers in it? He is the only reason to watch this movie over and over and over and over again! Kerri and the other bimbo's [...] can carry the movie sooooo far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Friday 13TH meets Porky's.....Awesome!!
Review: This movie has so many great memories for me, i remember when i fitrst saw it. It has Lucinda Dickey from BREAKIN'& NINJA 3 THE DOMINATION and Betsy Russell from TOMBOY & AVENGING ANGEL and it is a total gore fest with some of the funniest moments i have ever seen in a camp slasher movie. I recommend this to all summer camp slasher and Friday the 13th fans, it is without a doubt the funniest and most entertaining one you will ever see. The DVD is coming and i can't wait to get it and replace my many viewed vhs copy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bloody Pom-Poms and Scary Mascot Costumes
Review: This one is not bad. It's worth watching more than once.

Honestly, more of a comedy than scary--but a weird twist ending that was interesting.

The death scenes were bloodly for the most part. The plot is funny in spaces, character reaction not suitable for the scary situation.

If you want a comedy with a few stabs once in awhile with boobage in your face, then this is for you...a serious horror movie, no way.

Favorite scene: when the sheriff gets it! (I won't spoil it for you).
