'Don't mess with me... I'M A CHEERLEADER!!!
Oh no! It's another release from the label that always picks only the BEST movies to put on our shelves. (Cue drum roll) Yes, it's Film 2000, the people who gave us Camp Blood 1 & 2, To Become One and Paranoid among others. Readers that have already experienced' any of those classics' will know that anytime you see that sign on a DVD cover, then it means that you're holding a flick of true quality'! Ok, so I'm joking, but on occasion they have managed to give us worthy results Err, Well I can't think of any at the moment but I'm sure that they have! Head Cheerleader features Debbie Rochon who almost is to cheap horror movies what John Wayne was to Westerns. She has starred or played small parts in well over 20 mostly direct to video B- movies, including the slashers: Final Examination (not Final Exam), Bleed and American Nightmare (the one from 2001, not the 1983 Lawrence Tierney effort.) Heather (Tasha Biering) is the head cheerleader for her college team. It's Halloween and the night before a really important game, so she decides to go home early and get some rest. She just wants a quiet night in front of the television. Her peace is broken when Coach Reiley (Debbie Rochon) tells her that they've found her friend's decapitated body. Suddenly she begins receiving anonymous phone calls from someone that claims to be killing off all the cheerleaders. Unable to leave her house, Heather begins to question all of the people around her because she knows that the killer must be one of them! Ninety percent of this flick is filmed inside Heather's front room as she answers the phone to the cranky killer. Yes, it's as brain bashing as it sounds, just looking at a cramped living room for 80 minutes! The only change of scenery that we get is when we view the lame murders, with the emphasis being on the word lame'. We see decapitated heads, feet and boobs (!) that are so obviously plastic that it's painful. It's like director Jeff Miller bought a mannequin, chopped off the limbs, painted the ends red and hey presto; there are the special effects for his movie! The plot is so dumbly mind-numbing that you'll feel embarrassment for the people that were involved in such a hellish excuse for entertainment. When the assassin finally turns up and his motives are revealed even the final girl points out that he could have saved himself the hassle and just killed the one person! How pathetic! Not only is Head Cheerleader pain stakingly bad, it's also incredibly boring. You won't get any thrills from trying to guess who's killing everyone, because suspects are mentioned that we never get to meet and characters turn up only to disappear just as quickly. Admittedly, I didn't work it out, but that's probably because it could've been absolutely anyone. Also, I was tidying up my room whilst this was on, because it was far too tedious to just sit up and watch without constantly feeling the need to fiddle elsewhere. The psycho phones Heather an astronomical amount of times, meaning that towards the end of the run time I was so pig-sick of that Ring Ring' sound that I noticed that I had drunk almost an entire bottle of whisky in an attempt to numb my pains! Then to add insult to injury, just when I thought that I'd finally escaped the irritation, it played over the end credits too. Aaaargh! Basically this is just an inane mix of parts from much better movies. Jeff Miller rips off everything from Baby Doll murders (the killer leaves a doll beside his victims) to Black Christmas (the stalker constantly phoning his victims). He even goes as far as to steal Halloween's immediately recognisable theme song for his trailer! Someone should've sued him, and then maybe I wouldn't have had to suffer this monstrosity. Something this bad is always going to be amusing and luckily there are a few unintentional giggles to be had at the expense of the horrid actors and dumb scripting. One of the most comical is when the (by the book) fat Sheriff is informed that the coach may have been murdered, but says he can't send anyone out because he's busy! This is a murder for gawd's sake, not some delinquents playing ding-dong ditch! When the killer calls up his victims to taunt them, he mutters some poetry that sounds like a kindergarten pupil wrote it. `Violets are blue, roses are red. Tonight you two are gonna be dead!' See what I mean! But nothing can top what Heather says as she finally comes face to face with the killer. `Don't mess with me, I'm a cheerleader'(!) Oooooooh, scary! In the opening credits, we hear a message that was allegedly left on the director's answer phone from a concerned mother of a majorette. It says something about her being disgusted' and if anything happens to her daughter then she'll sue'. Here's what she really should have said. `Jeff, I'm disgusted that you can insult the wonder that is DVD with this horrid, exploitational piece of bin-bag lining. I will only be happy if you rectify your mistake and withdraw as many copies as possible to save people from suffering this worthless excrement!' Sounds better doesn't it! At one point in the runtime, one of the guys says speaking about horror flicks there's nothing wrong with a bit of gratuitous violence'. He speaks the truth, if handled properly it can be a whole lot of fun (look at Evil Dead!). But this is no example of well crafted horror and should be given to Nasa and shot into space. Vulgar dialogue, pitiful performances and hellish direction add up to a poor excuse for entertainment. In other words it sucks like an industrial strength vacuum cleaner. Avoid!
"I thought you was gonna fall..."
And indeed it did. This film fell flat on its face. Not in a comedic way, but in a horrible spasming death. I rented this film from Blockbuster Video's 'Gold Collection'... Never has a film been so terribly misplaced. I rented this film as part of a bad horror movie night, in order to have a laugh with my friends. The other films were all enjoyably bad, but this was something else all together. The acting was beyond bad, unfortunately it also passed the point of being so bad it was good (or even merely funny). Instead this film ended up with acting so bad it was physically painful to watch and hear. There were approximately 3 laughs in this film and I doubt any were intentional. One laugh featured is the worst attempt at a shock-scare ever, as an overweight guy grabs a man's leg on a ladder and then delivers his only line in the film in the most hideously funny way possible. Usually when a reviewer teases you like that it is to go get you to see the film, I however want you to do no such thing. I have, therefore, hidden within this review that very line. It is easy to discover, so do so. I guarantee you that it will be far more enjoyable than sitting through this film. I work for Blockbuster, so I got this rental free. I cannot try to dissuade you from renting (or even *shudder* buying) this film enough. To conclude: This film is so bad that it can actively ruin a movie night devoted to mocking bad horror films. Don't make the same mistake I did.
Head Director, Dead Director
A stupid, boring movie, cheap, nor sexy, neither scary. Made with a very limited budget, the movie has a terrible story, bad actors, a plot that is contrived and unbeleviable, special effects made by a three years old child, and it seems more a publicity spot for a phone company than a real movie, as almost half of it sees a neither particularly beautiful young lady talking over the phone with a "creepo". This movie has no redeeming quality and it's better forgotten.
Oh My God best film ever
oh my god that was the best film i have ever seen. The acting was fantastic the lead girl was the best actor i think she was very creative with her role as head cheerleader. My favourite death scene was the one when they cut off her breast then hack her from behind, very classy. The ending was the best just as you thought it really was just those two boys like "Scream" but it ended up to also be the coach. It was the first film i saw on the horror channel and i must say it won't be the last, the horror channel shows the greatest films possible as you can see if it shows "Head cheerleader, Dead cheerleader". i recently purchased this film for my mother as she also loves the film, i must say it was not easy to get my hands on, but i found it luckily, it was in amazon but they only had a few copies left, i guess i'm not the only person that likes the film. I just can't understand how its only got a 4.3 it deserves a 10 out of 10 its just so awesome. So please if you haven't seen this film please watch it it will be the best film you ever see. Lots of love Sophie
"At least they didn't blow up the toilets like last year." Terrible low budget slasher.
Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader starts late one Halloween night, also the eve of a big football game, as local high-school caretakers George & Earl remove dead animals hanging from the sports field goalposts, put there as a practical joke by some people who obviously have no sense of humour. However George comes across a bag which contains the decapitated head of a cheerleader named Patricia Bertwood. It's not long before head cheerleader Heather Connelly (Tasha Biering) is told the distressing news over the phone by cheerleading coach Elaine Riley (Debbie Rochon), they are somewhat shocked but figure the show must go on. Shortly after putting the phone down coach Riley is murdered... Back at home with Heather & the phone calls start, phone calls from the killer who taunts her, scares her & warns her not to set foot outside of her house. Meanwhile three more member's of the cheerleading squad, Molly (Noelle Manuel), Violet (Beth Hunt) & Rose (Amy R. Swaim) meet gruesome ends at the hands of the axe wielding killer. Heather receives more phone calls informing her of her friends fate but who is responsible? Her boyfriend Danny (Daniel Justin Roach)? Her jealous & possessive ex Chris (Andre Walker)? Or maybe the local drunk Joseph Hatterman (Bob Carter) who has a very dodgy history? Written, produced & directed by Jeffrey Miller Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader is a pretty poor film on all accounts. The script obviously takes it's inspiration, or steals it's ideas whichever way you want to put it, from better films from this genre like Scream (1996) & Friday the 13th (1980) & unfortunately doesn't do a very good job, it can't even match them let alone surpass them in an already overcrowded sub genre. For most of it's 80 minute duration Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader is a very uninspired clichéd slasher, think the worst Friday the 13th clone you can & mix it with a right out of nowhere a similar to Scream twist ending which seemed over elaborate but at the same time was surprisingly effective. If the start of the film had built up to this ending better than Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader could have been a decent little film but it comes from absolutely nowhere & just doesn't feel like it belongs to the preceding 70 minutes which are throughly routine & not especially enjoyable. The character's are awful, the dialogue is poor with some really bad red-herrings spread throughout that just don't work although at least there is a fairly steady stream of victims & it's quite short. Director Miller hasn't got a clue how to make a horror film. There is no build up to any of the murders they just suddenly happen which means there is no tension or potential for scares whatsoever. He has no idea how to set a mood as in one scene as Heather is having a 'emotional' chat with her ex boyfriend Chris his choice of music is bizarre as he uses a tune that would be more appropriate during a murder scene. There are a few murder's but nothing that memorable, a couple of women have their breasts cut off with an axe, someone gets an axe in the head, there is quite possibly the worst looking severed foot I've ever seen, a couple of decapitated heads & a hammer stuck in someone's head. There is some nudity as well which is nice but no actual sex scenes. The budget for Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader must have been minuscule, I'm not joking or exaggerating when I say that 90% of the film takes place in Heather's front room & house (that 'don't go out' warning from the killer was there to save money then) & it becomes highly irritating. The shot on video photography is point shoot & hope for the best stuff while the special effects are anything but special. The acting is pretty poor, but then did I really expect anything else? Head Cheerleader Dead Cheerleader is a throughly rotten attempt at a slasher film, apart from from a clever & surprisingly effective climax which deserves to be used in a better overall film there is absolutely nothing to recommend here. Stick with the likes of Friday the 13th, The Burning (1981), My Bloody Valentine (1981) & Scream for decent slashers that deliver the goods. Not worth your time or money.
