AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

gwnightscream This 1988 horror film stars Betsy Russell, Leif Garrett, Lucinda Dickey, Travis McKenna, and Lorie Griffin. This features teenage girl, Alison (Russell) who goes to a cheerleader training camp with some friends. She starts having weird visions while a mysterious killer starts wiping out some of the camp's residents and soon, Alison starts questioning her sanity. Garrett (The Outsiders) plays her cheating boyfriend, Brent, Dickey (Breakin') plays Cory, McKenna (Road House) plays Timmy and Griffin (Teen Wolf) plays Bonnie. The late, George 'Buck' Flower (They Live), Rebecca Ferratti and Teri Weigel also appear. This is a bit strange, but amusing 80's slasher similar to "Sleepaway Camp" and "Friday the 13th." I'd probably check this out at least once if you're into the slasher genre.

ebiros2 If the movie title has cheerleader as part of it then you're pretty sure that it's a sexploitation movie, and of course, this one is. You usually expect "very" low quality for a movie of this genre, but surprisingly, this movie is not that way.Betsy Russell, Leif Garrett and Lucinda Dickey stars in this movie which should tell you that this isn't such a bad movie, but host of other beauties brings up the interest factor a notch or two. Betsy Russell and Lucinda Dickey can act, and them being at the center of the movie guarantees that this movie won't be a complete dud. Although the plot isn't so good, the movie from start to finish holds together reasonably well.The scenes involving casts other than the girls, really should be taken out. The male actors are not the same caliber as the girls, and spoils the movie. If the movie revolved around just the girls, it would have been a lot better, even without the bodily exposure. The way the movie is shot also is pretty terrible. It's only a notch better than a home video.Despite the short comings, the girls saves the day on this movie, and makes this movie fun to watch.

B N Simple-minded teen sex humor is punctuated with graphic slasher murders in this mediocre genre effort. Also known as Bloody Pom Poms, the film takes advantage of its central character's frequent nightmares to clog up the narrative with disturbing dream sequences. Further confusing matters is the fact that all these pretty young cheerleaders look about the same, so once the bodies start dropping it's easy to stop caring who gets it and when. Cheerleader Camp tries hard to win us over, offering goofy set pieces like horny old men spraying themselves in the face with hoses, a football-themed sex fantasy, and the most horrible "mooning" sequence ever filmed.Cheerleader Camp won't hold pleasure for any except the most dedicated Z-level celebrity watchers. Exploitation vet George "Buck" Flower mumbles and scowls his way through his role as a crusty red herring, and future hardcore-porn star Teri Weigel gets some practice from a garden tool. Ex-teenager Leif Garrett is bloodless as a philandering boyfriend, and his performance is distinguished only by an awful gelled-up hairdo and his weak, white rap duet with morbidly obese sidekick Travis McKenna. Betsy Russell had a healthy career in low-budget, low-impact exploitation films during the '80s, playing the title characters in Tomboy and Avenging Angel along with starring here. There are two Playboy Playmates and one Penthouse Pet among the toothsome cast members, and director John Quinn went on to helm an assortment of softcore sex films like Fast Lane to Vegas and Sex Court: The Movie.

stmichaeldet Stop me if you've heard this one - a group of oversexed, undersupervised teenagers head out into the woods, where they end up being picked off one after another by a mysterious killer. No, it's not Friday the 13th. No, not Sleepaway Camp. No, not any of those other six films you're thinking of. This time, we're going to Cheerleader Camp.OK, so, we know right off the bat that this film isn't gaining any points for originality. We can forgive that; after all, who watches slasher films for originality? But this film has bigger problems than that (and I'm not referring to Travis McKenna's impressive girth).No, the main problem here is a film that is trying way too hard. The plot has way too much going on - our main character, Allison, is plagued by bad dreams and hallucinations, and appears to be in the middle of some sort of nervous breakdown throughout much of the film. Her boyfriend, Leif Garrett (!), has no patience with Allison's mental problems, and chooses to deal with it by hitting on all the other cheerleaders. The other guy on the squad (McKenna) spends way too much time trying to catch half-naked schoolgirls on tape. Cory, the alligator-suited team mascot, has to deal with the heartbreak of anti-mascot prejudice from the other girls. The camp counselor, Miss Dee Dee Tipton, is a vicious control-freak who seems to spend all of her time making people's lives miserable when she's not hiding bodies in the walk-in refrigerator in a misguided attempt to stave off the likely public relations nightmare - not that she should worry, since she's sleeping with the local sheriff. The camp handyman is the stereotypical drunken, grumbling creep. And everyone is way too concerned about who's gonna be elected Camp Queen at the big competition (which really doesn't seem all that big, when it finally arrives).In the midst of all that scenery-chewing, cheerleaders start dying or disappearing. This leads to nearly everyone in the cast being set up as a red-herring killer at one point or another - the writer' efforts to make sure all the suspects are off by themselves when the various killings take place create some very complicated choreography amongst the cast.On top of all that, we have not one, but three centerfolds cast as various cheerleaders, multiple iterations of peeping scenes, trips to the swimmin' hole, and pointless cheer-routine practice, and probably the lamest excuse for a rap I've ever heard.Still, if you're a fan of the slasher genre, it's worth a look. It's certainly not the worst I've ever seen.
