Maddy (Caitlin Stasey) is an outcast in her school, for one she doesn't
fit the cheerleader mold all the popular girls seem to be cast of, she
isn't the brainless partygirl ideal men seem to dig exclusively, and she
dabbles in the occult ... Then though she sees a few of her school's most
popular cheerleaders die in a car crash caused by her school's most
popular football jocks, and she sees a chance to have her revenge on those
who have rejected her by bringing the cheerleaders back to life and
handing it to the jocks, other cheerleaders,and everyone else rubbing
Maddy the wrong way. This plan though has two flaws, as the cheerleaders
have kept their personalities and at least in part act on their own
initiative (which usually leads to trouble), and the toughest jock has
found out Maddy's secret ... which he uses to make himself invincible -
not a good thing, because he's a big asshole ... Quite simply, All
Cheerleaders Die is not a very good film. Basically, it takes some
inspiration from the horror cult classic Carnival
of Souls, adds high school comedy, boobs and a very predictable
plot to it and ... well, what you get is a movie with all the substance of
a Fred Olen Ray or Full
Moon horror comedy. But where Fred Olen Ray or Full
Moon features of the same ilk are somehow charming with their low
budget appeal of overcoming financial shortcomings with sheer
inventiveness and some off-beat humour, this one, despite the occasional
good joke, comes across as just too slick, with too much money thrown at
it and too little inventiveness let alone originality invested. It's
really a totally forgettable run-of-the-mill supernatural slasher with a
tired story, cardboard characters and not much else. All Cheerleaders
Die is actually the remake of 1999's straight-to-video All
Cheerleaders Die by the same directors - but why they decided to
more than a decade later remake it with this little panache remains a mystery to
me ...
