All Cheerleaders Die, directed and written by Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson, was released to VOD May 8, 2014. There will be a theatrical release June 13th. This film is a remake of their 2001 film of the same name.

The story revolves around a group of four cheerleaders, one of whom dies in a freak accident in the first five minutes of the movie. The cheerleader must be replaced and one of her friends, Maddy, tries out and is awarded the spot. Up until this point in her high school career Maddy has been on the outside of that social circle.  However,  she has an ulterior motive for befriending these girls and becoming a cheerleader. After an accident during a  night of drinking takes the lives of the remaining four girls —  all hell breaks loose. Get your candy, alcohol, and cigarettes and sit back and enjoy one hell of a ride.

This a revenge flick with feminist undertones disguised as a horror comedy with a touch of Jennifer’s Body. You begin the film thinking that these young ladies are just a bunch of vacuous bitches you eventually care about them and what will become of them. For every girl who has ever been wronged by her boyfriend, whether it be emotionally or physically, you can live vicariously through Maddy and her friends to get your revenge and laugh while your doing it!

images(5)All Cheerleaders Die had some of everything including murder, stoners, witches, magic spells, naked boobs, and lesbian action. Oddly one thing it didn’t have was much in the way of was obscene language but I didn’t miss it. In the case of the witch, think Misty Day from American Horror Story : Coven. I enjoyed every moment of this film and it is one I would buy. You can’t go wrong with 90 minutes of half naked beautiful girls, giggles and murder.  I paid $9.99 to rent from Comcast and it was worth every cent.

LITTLE MISS HORROR NERD’S RATING: 5 out of 5

A little bit of trivia : “Take A Bite of My Heart” one of the songs on the soundtrack is by Sianoa Smit- McPhee who also played Leena Miller in the film.

The directors have said they decided to remake this film because they shot the 2001 video right after graduating from college.
