Critics Consensus

All Cheerleaders Die sets out to subvert horror tropes, but ends up falling victim to many of the same trashy cliches it's trying to mock.

Sean Tepper

Globe and Mail

All Cheerleaders Die offers everything you'd expect from a horror flick with this title, but slow, bumpy pacing and underdeveloped characters make it ultimately forgettable.

Los Angeles Times

With all the finesse of a bullhorn that sprays noise and blood, "All Cheerleaders Die" shows just how difficult it is to pump life into the shopworn teen horror-comedy genre.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Shot with a camera as excited as a squirrel-chasing dog, "Cheerleaders" has a girls-gone-wild energy and a twisted sense of humor.

them.

Though some might find the film to be tonally dissonant, there’s nothing queer women horror fans love more than a perfect mix of gore and tenderness.

Tries so hard to be funny and cool. It's neither.

Rated: 2/5

F This Movie!

The movie has a sassy sense of humor, attitude to spare and plenty of playful energy -- all good stuff. But it's basically a mess.

All Cheerleaders Die offers the same old horror tropes and makes fun of them in empty to be cool & funny and it fails miserably.

More explicitly queer than Jennifer's Body, but also more male gaze-y than Jennifer's Body.

Directed and written by Lucky McKee (May) and Chris Sivertson (I Know Who Killed Me) in 2001 — then remade in 2013 — All Cheerleaders Die is about the very dangerous world of cheerleading which takes its first victim early as one of the girls — the subject of a documentary — is killed when she isn't caught in time. Maddy, who was filming that documentary, joins the team and begins a series of machinations that leads to the accidental death of the entire team. Using magic, she brings them back to life and they begin getting their revenge. What I liked about this movie is that it promises what guys have always gotten out of horror movies — attractive women being killed or doing the killing — but it subverts expectations and makes its viewers confront that very same objectification. Plus, that moment in the woods, where the villainous Terry confronts the girls? That feels like real tension. I kinda wish they'd make the teased sequel already.

There's a lot of fun to be had here, with the girls gaining their powers and some of the hijinks that ensue. It's overall too much of a goofy cartoon though, with the supernatural mumbo jumbo. I get that they're probably trying to subvert the genre with this stuff, but it just comes off kind of juvenile. The girls are a lot of fun though.

Just awful. One review I read of this movie said that it subverts the genre by mocking the movies that simply objectify the women and give cheap scares, whilst simultaneously doing exactly that. Regardless of its moral intentions, this film is a real failure.

This movie is ridiculous and has a lot of issues. I don't mind a bit of mindless fun here and there, but this movie had a hard time finding its groove. It is ultimately forgettable, but I don't regret watching it.
