sherman-oaks-1 OK. Where do I begin? Hawaiian Punch concentrate for blood? Really? An obvious pellet gun as a 9mm? A 5-girl cheerleader squad? And only two of them appear to have ever cheered, ever.A script and directing so none-existent that you beg for everyone to die just so that the movie can be over because you paid for the movie as opposed to just renting it so it would be wasteful to just turn it off and burn it.I movie so terrible that Charles Barkley would scream, "It's tuuuurible!" But at least there were boobs at three different scenes in the movie. And the deleted scenes, which were from a different film by the way, had more boobs.
John Crane This movie was one of those movies where it completely fooled me into thinking that it was a cheesy 80's slasher flick, based on the cover, but it wasn't. It was quite possibly one of the worst slasher films that I have ever seen. The picture on the cover did not match any part or scene in the movie; in fact it didn't involve a chainsaw. Not even the tag line fit the movie. The film is about a group of cheerleaders and two potheads who escape to a desolate cabin, in the cold woods, for a weekend getaway. However, things get extra chilly when they start to get murdered by an unknown killer. At the same time, the local sheriff's department is hunting down a dangerous killer. I'll name the problems in a list.1. The Acting. Boy was it cheap and horribly bad. It felt unnatural and it seemed as thought it was very scripted. None of the actors seemed as though they tried to perform with good intentions and therefore they seemed silly and tired. There was bad acting by all the characters in the movie, so I won't point out specific people, but I wills say that the stoners did a horrible job, as well as the police and the cheerleaders, which is not a surprise.2. The Plot. This story had set up a perfect storyline for good ol' fashion slasher flick, but instead they peppered it with plot-holes, useless and unnecessary scenes and an overall stupid back-story to the killer's intentions. There were major plot-holes including how the killer killed the last victim so quickly and yet still be there in the group of girls when it happened? The ex-con virtually served no purpose in the movie aside from being a useless plot device. There was random and unnecessary sex and nudity sprinkled throughout it, even for a b-movie or my taste it was a bit too much. As for the killer's intentions, lets just say it was stupid and it makes no sense as to why she / he is killing young girls. Plus, there was also some very predictable kills that I saw coming about 30 miles away.3. The Technical Side. The lighting was okay, it certainly wasn't the worse lighting that I've seen in a movie, but there were points where it was supposed to be dark but it looked more like the afternoon. The house seemed darker with the lights on, then with the lights off. The camera work was average, it didn't have any good establishing shots or amazing pans or zooms, thought it did get the job done is building some suspense with it's framing.Overall, this movie, in the sense of plot, character development and performance, was a huge disappointment and a waste of my time. What I thought would have been a great slasher flick turned out to be one of the worse movies that I have ever seen. The acting was really bad and wooden, there was hardly any sense in the plot and there was no emotion to this film. However, the technical aspect of this film saved it for me, because if the camera work or the lighting was bad, then I would have turned off the DVD player and popped in something else. I would recommend this movie to those who enjoy really cheesy b-movies as well as those who follow cult classics, because this movie certainly is. I would partially recommend this film for those who enjoy 80s slasher flicks. But for me, this movie was pitiful and utterly horrible.
drhackenstine I must have read too many Leanord Maltin movie review books, because whenever I see a fiasco like this, I just wanna pick it apart and give a bad review. Yet I love the B-movies and find them the only movies I watch. I just cannot sit through a big-budget film lately. If I sound critical of this, I'm sorry. This is a stupid movie. Fans of the '80's slashers might enjoy it for a while, because the killer, so we are supposed to believe is the killer from the original Slumber Party Massacre film. You really cannot find a slasher film made today where some angry psycho comes rumbling out of the woods to hack up the teen cast, as in Madman, The Burning, all the Jason movies, etc., etc., etc.It's always one of the lead characters with some grudge against his/her friends. The grudge here is laughable. I'm not going to get into that. I did enjoy the first hour and 10 minutes of this. Even though it was haphazard in every department, I felt myself entertained. It was shot on video, low-budget and crude, but it felt like a good trash crap flick. Then the conclusion started up, and I felt cheated. I don't consider this a Slumber Party Massacre sequel, and I didn't coming into this weird film. Hard to Die, Sorority House Massacre 2. They recycled Slumber Party Massacre footage. Why can't Cheerleader Massacre? Ugghh... If this was intended to be a sequel to the Slumber Party Massacre series, there would have been a 4 in the title. The makers just wanted to see if they could get a new series started up. That's why the title was changed at the last minute. Anyway, I did find myself watching the film intently for the first hour, but when the killer was revealed, I was let down. Not bad for a B-movie. Not good for a sequel to any of the 3 films I mentioned above. Has some horrendous lines. The male characters love to say "sweet". Buzz flubbs his lines. One character says "I knew this would be a bad day when we ate those stale donuts". Another says "Nobody has lived here for a while", when the cast walks into a furnished house,with electricity and food in the fridge. Hmmm. Two stars.
Archer2525Jonathan Thanks to the cover this movie looks good, thanks to the direct it is actually complete rubbish. Slasher fans should stay the hell away from this one, There's no Plot, no talent and I am sorry to say that i've actually seen it. Thank God i rented it online and it only cost me about 50 pence, because if i'd spent any more i might have to go and slash my own wrists, from the sheer depression. I think the Director thought that a few Bimbos on the cover and the word Cheerleader might make a movie, by which rationale i could sell a turd in a box if I only cellotape a picture of Britney Spears on the front. Even for an amateur movie this stinks and forget soft porn, aside from a very short appearance from April Flowers there is nothing worth watching here. Wynorski...get a job.
