When tragedy rocks Blackfoot High, rebellious outsider Mäddy Killian shocks the student body by joining the cheerleading squad. After a confrontation with the football team, Mäddy and her new cheerleader friends are sent on a supernatural roller coaster ride which leaves a path of destruction none of them may be able to escape.
All Cheerleaders Die is a campy horror-comedy remake of Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson's own 1983 student film, blending supernatural resurrection, witchcraft, and slasher revenge with teen satire. The plot is serviceable but messy, juggling too many tonal shifts without fully committing to any of them. Acting is passable for the genre but rarely rises above genre-standard performances. Cinematography is competent but unremarkable low-budget work. Novelty gets a modest bump for its gender-politics subtext, lesbian witch angle, and self-aware satire of teen horror tropes, making it slightly more distinctive than a generic entry. The ending is abrupt and unsatisfying, feeling like a setup for a sequel that never came rather than a coherent conclusion.
