Dan H Powertool Cheerleaders vs The Boyband of the Screeching Dead is an indie horror-comedy-musical that’s as wild as its title suggests. It follows waitress Emily, who must overcome her fear of cheerleaders to lead a misfit squad in a TV talent show. Things go haywire when a cursed talisman turns their boyband rivals into zombies, forcing the girls to use friendship and power tools to survive. The film is packed with self-aware humor, catchy but campy songs, and practical effects that shine on a budget. It’s chaotic, clever, and wonderfully trashy, with fourth-wall-breaking antics and meta references. A love letter to Troma-style horror and a fun, bloody romp for those who enjoy campy musicals with a twist. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Micah C If you're in the mood for a wild ride, look no further. This film is a delightful mash-up of genres that takes you on a hilarious journey filled with catchy musical numbers, over-the-top humor, and some unexpectedly heartwarming moments. The chemistry among the cast is infectious but what truly sets this film apart is its ability to break the fourth wall and deliver zany, laugh-out-loud moments while maintaining a strong narrative. From the hilarious introduction of quirky characters to the clever writing filled with witty one-liners, there’s never a dull moment. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review James C Unlike anything I've seen! Powertool Cheerleaders is a film that knows what it is and delivers. Breaking the fourth wall, middle aged women dressing like teenage cheerleaders, breaking into song, death lighting cues, zombies, a credit roll BTS song, and of course a severed hand straight outta Adams Family! It doesn't take itself seriously and that is the best thing for a film like this. Grab a beer, pop the corn, turn out the lights and enjoy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Duncan N It’s a great film, the title alone is worth five stars. It made me laugh, it made me cry (just a tiny bit) the songs are great, but don’t sing them in front of your grandma. Soon to be an indie cult classic Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Chris H This is a low budget British zombie horror musical movie (horrzomsical?) made by a team of passionate filmmakers, cast and crew. It is a little rough around the edges but it gives the film a bit of extra charm Basically: Amulet + boyband = end of days Power tools + cheerleaders = blood, guts, friendship and a severed hand Throw in a talent show and catchy songs this is a genre defying fun romp, well worth seeking out if you're tired of reboots, remakes, prequels, reimagining and superheroes. Hopefully a soundtrack will be available down the line This proves you don't need a massive amount of money to make a great little movie, now if only we could get a movie from the boyband perspective..
