All Cheerleaders Die - 2013

All Cheerleaders Die - 2013 - Directors -Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson
 

At first glance All Cheerleaders Die looks like the  "A"  typical horror comedy, "You know the type" where the jocks and their cheerleader girlfriends are hated by the socially introverted goth chick and her weird friend that have been wronged somehow.

Think Jennifer's Body meets The Craft and Mean Girls.
 
After the death of her childhood best friend Alexis; Maddy (Caitlin Stasey) is angered when Alexis's boyfriend Terry (Tom Williamson) who is the leader of the football team starts to immediately date the next cheerleader on the squad Tracy (Brooke Butler).  Maddy now wants to join the cheerleaders so she can seek revenge against them.  She starts to make them feel that the other is cheating while seducing Tracy herself.  Things go from typical high school drama to down right crazy when all of the cheerleaders die in a car crash (hence All Cheerleaders Die).  Maddy's ex-girlfriend is so overcome by all of their deaths that she invokes a Pagan ritual to bring them all back from the dead.  Now that they're back from the dead they realize they have a thirst for human blood.




Fortunately All Cheerleaders Die has a great twist halfway through otherwise I would have really struggled to find a reason to recommend it. One of my biggest problems is the pacing of the film.  It continually goes off and on track throughout the first half of the film while not allowing to find a character to like or even relate too.  There is a fair amount of gore while the cheerleaders understand they need to feed on human blood, this comes with some decent laughs.

If you're looking for a scarfest you'll have to look elsewhere but if you like whiny MTV dramas with some blood sprinkled in, then your in luck.

mmmm. Tastes like chicken

Do I have anything on my face??
