Allison
(Betsy Russell) and her boyfriend Brent
(Leif Garrett) are off to camp called
Camp Hurrah for a cheerleading session
with other cheerleaders hoping that they
will all go to the finals.
Allison hopes to make it as a top
cheerleader but one of the cheerleaders
named Pamela Bentley (Teri Weigal) gives
her a hard time as she wants to win.
Allison is also having deadly nightmares
and doesn't trust Brent even more.
Also, Brent seems to be interested in
other girls and his partner Timmy Moser
(Travis McKenna) wants to find a hot date
with them as well as videotaping them
too.
Allison witnesses a suicide of a
cheerleader named Suzy (Krista Pflanzer)
that Brent introduced himself to when
they first arrived and then afterwards,
each cheerleader that Brent hits on, dies
a horrible death and Allison is often
encountering the dead bodies. Even Pamela
is slaughtered as they were enemies from
the start plus Brent was making out with
her before her death.
Allison thinks that she may have a split
personality to kill but there are other
suspects there too as certain people at
the camp behave very strangely.
This is such an
awful flick with a confusing plot.
Alot of the times it doesn't even make
sense why the murders are happening and
what is going on throughout the story.
Made on a terrible budget to top it off
but not a Z-grade flick.
It starts off as a dark teen comedy and
then ends off as a horror.
Gimme an A-V-O-I-D What does that spell?
AVOID!
A bit the acting
is not too bad, the rest of it is
terrible and I am shocked that even
former 70's teen idol Leif Garrett
would even accept doing this film but
again his acting career was starting to
go down the drain but again Leif never
had much of a career.
Betsy Russell was better off in Avenging
Angel and her other popular teen
flicks but she seems to do very well with
her role and her disturbing emotions with
everything bad happening around her.
Lucinda Dickey was more famous for
her breakdance film Breakin
and it's sequel and even that film is
extremely dated. She does well with her
role as the convincing caring cheerleader
and bringing that role to life.
Burly actor Travis McKenna tries
to save this film by being funny with his
character but even he can't save it
however he is the best actor in this film
with his actions surrounding his
character. He has done a few good shows
afterwards like in Road House
and the series Coach.
Teri Weigel moved onto pornography
as she made better money in that as she
stinks with her performance in this one
as all she had was the looks thats it.
The worst out of them all however is
Vickie Benson who plays the
cheerleader camp owner Dee Dee Tipton.
She tries to be the comedic character but
she flops big time as she is way too
overly dramatic.
Burly character
actor Travis McKenna moons
cheerleaders in a van (Scary).
Krista Pflanzer is sunbathing fully
breasted and the same with porn actress Teri
Weigal.
Lots of graphic
violence
A cheerleaders arms are bloodily slit.
During a hallucination scene in the
mirror Allisons face is bloodily scarred.
A pair of clippers cut through Bentley's
head and then during a dream sequence she
is slaughtered by deadly pom poms.
Theresa is slaughtered after being hit by
a van and her guts are revealed.
Miss Tipton is whacked in the back by a
meat cleaver
An axe is whacked in Timmy's stomach and
he spits out blood
A cook is caught with a bear trap in his
face and blood pours out
The directing is
terribly trashy along with the writing
but there are some neat dance sequences
with the cheerleaders and there's some
interesting nightmare sequences too like
the cheerleaders chanting between Garrett
and Bentley's characters
"DO IT AGAIN DO IT AGAIN HARD
HARD!!!!".
He directed both Russell and Dickey
well with their dialogues together.
The very ending is memorable too and
did a good job with that with Dickey
doing her cheerleader chant while the sun
is starting to rise while the albulance
rolls away.
John Quinn has worked in many other
cheesy flicks to his credit.
The music was even terribly
trashy as there is piano playing in the
opening.
Whoever did that playing never took
proper lessons as even the cheesy
synthesizer playing sounds out of place
too but at the very ending of the movie
it was very effective.
However the music was composed by
Joel and Mureille Hamilton.
(Brent tries to make
out with Alison) Alison:
Brent you're drunk!
Brent: I'm happy.
(Chuckles)
Alison: Don't be crazy.
Brent: I'm only crazy
for you.(Continues to make out with
Alison)
Alison: Brent, stop it!
What's wrong with you?!
Brent: Nothing, we're
alive!
