Review: A very low-budget but fun movie. Your typical slasher movie. Teens get lost find a cabin and a killer is in the mountains...

Summary: This movie rocks!
Review: Cheerleader Massacre is a wonderful homage to slasher flicks of the 80's, most notably Slumber Party Massacre. There are many scenes reminiscent of that film in this one, and it's neat to realize what the director was trying to do. The actresses are typical of any slasher flick: beautiful, young, and willing to get nude at the drop of a hat (which will please many a viewer). The death scenes aren't very graphic (which may disappoint some), but there are so many of them, you may not notice. The ending is very Scream-like, but it works. Bring on Cheerleader Massacre 2: Electric Bugaloo!The DVD features Director Audio Commentary, a deleted scene, cast bios, the original trailer, and other preview attractions. The picture is full screen, but the sound is Dolby Digital 5.1. This isn't a very surround-heavy mix, but it's always nice when they throw in those little surprise directional effects to throw you off guard. Overall, a good movie and one that any horror buff should add to his or her collection immediately.

Summary: Are the Cheerleaders Hot? Yes. Is the Movie Good? No.
Review: First off, let me explain that I am an enormous slasher/horror film fan. I can't get enough. I have the entire Slumber Party, Sorority House etc. Massacre series' and am always looking for new additions to my ever growing collection. Also, let me say that sometimes, the cheesier the better and half the reason I watch these movies is to laugh. Now with that being said, let me move on to "Cheerleader Massacre" This movie was terrible. Plain and simple. Yes there were very hot, very naked women in it. But that is the only redeeming quality. (And the only reason I gave it 2 stars). This movie looks like it was made with a digital video camera. There are pretty much no lighting effects at all. The audio is terrible, the special effects are a joke - and to top it all off, the gore is minimal. Yes, there are a lot of killings, are they boring? - once again, hell yes. Everything about this movie is terrible (except of course for the nudity, which Jim Wynorski never seems to get wrong). The acting is probably the worst I have ever seen in a film. And I've seen some bad ones. Again, I understand this is a "slasher" film and therefore, having exceptions like the acting and script/plot etc. But this is ridiculous, I could have written a better script on a piece of toilet paper. This movie doesn't even fall into the category of "So bad it's good" it's just...so bad. period. I understand that everyone loves it because there's a lot of nudity, well, yes there is. However, if the only reason I wanted to watch slasher films was for the nudity, I would just watch a porno. Again, I am a huge fan of this genre and it killed me to have to write a bad review of a Wynorski film, but we have to be honest. A quick sum up. Acting: Atrocious in every way (and not in the "good" way)
Plot: Stupid but I guess exceptable.
Script: Garbage
Nudity: Pretty and Plentiful.
Violence/Murders: Some of the dumbest and most uncreative I have ever seen. Video/Audio: Unexceptable and Terrible.
Overall: Utter Garbage. Do yourself a favor and pick up "House on the Edge of the Park" or the Sorority House/Slumber Party Series. Much better with, if you can believe it, a bigger budget.

Summary: bring on the hot cheerleaders
Review: i have to admit i'm a big fan of the low budget massacre movies, slumber party massacre, sorority house masscare, and now cheerleader massacre. talk about hot babes, wish our cheerleader squad looked like that in school, little to good to be true. anyways plenty of nudity and plenty of victims. great low budget movie to watch with friends, had some pretty funny scenes as well. all in all a great low budget movie.

Summary: Three cheers for the big kill!
Review: Not quite like the old originals of Jim Wynorski, but a definite fun horror investment. I must admit that the "deleted scene" made me want to puke. Come on, Jim! You are pushing it! Anyway, a few inspiring Playboy models are driving to the big game with their unnaturally large coach, 2 teen boys who are there to "help out," and some equipment guy. Most of the girls are whiny and snotty, but watching them get stranded in a snowy cabin is well worth it. Jim gives his male audience the traditional shower scene...however, a headless knock on the front door is when it really gets good! Horrible acting but Jim makes up for that by providing dialogue in Special Features where he reveals some of the secrets to making the film on a budget. Excellent tips for inspiring filmmakers.

Summary: not bad for a slasher movie
Review: Sales for "Cheerleader Massacre" would probably do a lot better if this 2000 direct of video release was listed under some sort of soft porn category into of being labeled a slasher flick. This is supposed to be the four film in the series "The Slumber Party Massacre," which produced films in 1982, 1987, and 1990. In fact, Brinke Stevens is once again playing Linda, her original role in first film. But for some reason the producers decided to trade in the cache, so to speak, of the series title and come up with something different. Is it because they think "Cherrleader" conjurs up more notions of sex than "Slumber Party"? Or is it because they noticed the story here is not about a slumber party? The plot--no, strike that: the setup for the massacre is that five high school cheerleaders to to a cabin the woods for a weekend getaway with their coach (Tamie Sheffield, whom you might recognize from "Fear Factor" in 2001) and a couple of jocks who show up to see what is happening. A crazy guy comes along and starts killing them, but not before we are treated to several scenes involving showers, bubble baths, and chocolate sauce. The only real question here is whether in the final analysis "Cheerleader Massacre" is a worse example of slasher flick or a soft-core film. There has always been a connection between sex and death in splatter flicks, something we have understood ever since good girl Laurie Strode was the only one of her peer group to get out alive in "Halloween." Even when "Scream" made a point of the heroine not being a virgin, it only reinforced the idea that the subtext for such movies was that bad things happen to young people who have sex. If you think sexually transmitted diseases are bad, then you just wait until some guy with a knife, machette, chainsaw, or whatever comes after you. But here the sex is way out in front. The only bit of gratuitous cheerleading comes at the start of the film, and even then there are no outfits. From then on there is little wearing of much clothing by these cheerleaders. In the end I have to write this film off more as porn that slasher because the acting is closer to the nadir represented by skin flicks than the wooden and unprofessional performances you often find in splatter flicks, especailly of the direct to video variety. In fact, one of the actresses has made dozens of hard core films. You should be able to pick her out, at which point you will realize that her acting really puts the rest of this cast to shame (which is not a good thing). If you check this out for blood, guts, and gory, then you are definitely in the wrong aisle. If you are looking for a film with multiple shower scenes, then you may well end up being content with this tacky little film. I guess they could not work "Shower" and "Massacre" into the title, although you would think you would not need a lot of imagination to do that. Finally, if you are really looking for a slasher film with cheerleaders, then you are forced to go check out "Cheerleader Camp."

Review: The plot is ok, there are nudity but not many though. The way the victims died wasnt horrifying at all. I guess my expectation was a little higher.The lovemaking scenes was not erotic though. If u r thinking of buying this movie is best that u might want to skip this one.
