Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Campy but not as entertaining as other Satan flicks
Review: I actually bought this by accident, intending to buy the "Satan movie with teenage girls" that I remembered seeing on TV two decades ago. I had never seen this film before.

It actually isn't bad, from a bad is good perspective. Some of the acting is just so overwrought it is hysterical. The script is very funny at times, probably unintentionally so. (When the writers tried to be clever, it was obvious.) Yvonne DeCarlo is in it as a high priestess, and it's fun to hear Lily Munster's voice chanting satanic phrases, replete with lots of sound effects as she pleads to Satan to kill the cheerleaders.

If you like looking at young women in skimpy outfits, you'll enjoy the first half hour during which many of them are in bikinis. And you may enjoy when one of the cheerleaders mates with Satan (well, you don't actually see Satan, but that's what you're supposed to believe) on an altar.

While this certainly cannot compete with "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in terms of being the worst film of all time, it does have a number of glaring errors as well, particularly edits which do not make sense.
The worst thing about this movie, however, is that it has too much extraneous junk in it, and only one of the cheerleaders has any connection with Satan. It actually takes a while to even understand why the film is called "Satan's Cheerleaders."

DVD quality is mediocre at best. The mono Dolby Digital sound is almost always intelligible. The picture is okay but there are the occasional black circles and other picture flaws. The only extras are two trailers, one for this film and one for a film called "Ruby." I've never seen "Ruby" but it looks like an attempt to recreate "The Exorcist." The trailer is hysterical but my guess is that the best two minutes of the film were used for the trailer.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Campy but not as entertaining as other Satan flicks
Review: I just want to say this movie is a piece of ... like a 70's b movie which is really really bad, oh and beware of the cover, these people dont even know anything about satan apparently, if you notice the pentegrams they ware are the stars pointed upwards which is the sign of christ haha they would have to have the star being upside down to represent satan so that is a good example to show u that this movie is a waste and has nothing to do with proper satanism, if you want to see a good satanistic scary movie see the devil's rain or the devil's prey.

Summary: Watch Out Where Those Huskies Go...
Review: Oh no! That nefarious mastermind satan is at it again. In his neverending quest for world domination, he's decided to go after our beloved cheerleaders! Four of them were on their way to the big Huskies game when suddenly, their car was run off the road! One of satan's helpers just happened to drive by and pick them up. This evil man was none other than Billy (Jack "Angry Red Planet" Kruschen), the school janitor / peeping-Tom pervert! He took these poor girls, and their morally upstanding instructor, to a deserted location. Once there, Billy tried to do naughty things to Patti, while Debbie, Sharon, and Chris stood petrified in trances! Thankfully, a jealous satan intervened, knocking Billy out. Whew! Our brave pom-pom commandoes then ran into a bum (John Carradine) who also turned out to be one of the devil's deciples! They ended up at the home of sheriff BL Bubb (John Ireland) and his wife (Yvonne DeCarlo). Sadly, Mr. and Mrs. Bubb were in on the whole thing! In fact, the entire town was nothing more than a coven of mephistophelian hillbillies! They locked up our brave heroines, preparing them for midnight sacrifice. Of course, they needed a "pure maiden" or virgin for this blackest of rituals, so our cheerleaders were saved! Then, Patti had a little surprise for the Bubbs and company, as she turned out to be the dark lord's chosen one. She quickly used her powers to kill the shady sheriff and to establish herself as queen of all satanic cheerleaders. This is a true story...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hillarious Trash: Satan's Cheerleaders
Review: The movie is hillarious-so bad it's good. You have the standard flat chested cheerleading virgin being sacrificed to satan. See, the school bus to the big game breaks down in a remote location, which forces the whole squad to seek shelter with a bunch of 70's satan worshippers. I give this movie four stars with the explicit instructions that it is JUST for situations where you want a REALLY CAMPY MOVIE.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One for all, and all for one.
Review: Yep, just one review and all in one! Here, we follow 4 proud cheerleading ...(Patti, Debbie, Chris, and Sharon) from their practice at Benedict High and to the first game of the season. But, they are delayed in the meantime. Along with their coach, the cheerleaders are kidnapped by a Satanic cult after getting in a car accident on the way to the game. Why do Satanists want cheerleaders? To use the "unsoiled maiden" in black mass, of course. A virgin? In this movie? *chuckle* Anyway, the cult has a surprise of their own when Patti brings her Master into the picture.
