Another camp, another reason to get girls together, another excuse to have a lot of murder. Go Team! … … … I guess.
Alison and her cheer squad (?) are headed off to cheerleading camp at Camp Hurrah. She and her crew are there to learn some new routines and get involved in some healthy competition. Alison is plagued by nightmares of bloody corpses and her own violent deaths. Currently, on medication for her issues, she is hoping that the time away with her friends will allow her to rest and get away from her inner feelings of dread.
From the moment the crew arrives at Camp Hurrah things are already heading downhill quickly. Brent, Alison’s boyfriend, immediately starts hitting on pretty much every girl there. All of the different crews of girls are fighting, and one of the girls appears to have committed suicide. This sends Alison into a tail-spin of a mental breakdown initially cause by the stress, but when she finds the body of the one girl dead in the freezer, she snaps completely. More girls end up dead, and no one seems to know what is going on. Alison’s nightmare is becoming her reality.
Cheerleader Camp on the surface is actually a decent movie. Sure it suffers from every single slasher trope from the eighties, but that’s what everyone wanted back then. Ridiculous plot, toxic relationships, creeps, the one fat guy that is just trying to get laid, buckets of blood, and a killer without a care in the world. They even manage to disguise the “twist” long enough that you buy into their red herring.
I can totally see why this movie would have a cult following. Does it have a cult following? As a fan of these exact types of movies I recommend watching it. There are enough deaths, blood, and laughs to satisfy anyone’s desire for schlocky, campy (no pun intended) C-level movies here.
