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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2020

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.

It's sadly a disappointment when compared to McKee's more powerfully exuberant titles. Sure, they're having a lot of fun it seems, but the result is a bit too hokey.

More of a fun examination of cultural tropes rather than a subversive take on gender constructs.

In All Cheerleaders Die, all these threats combine to make senior year more difficult to survive than ever.

| Oct 27, 2018

A well-conceived, entertaining high school horror film that kept me guessing with every turn.

| Aug 21, 2018

I applaud its take-no-prisoners mentality, accurately embellished teen clichs, and ability to elicit some chuckles.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 27, 2016

With all the makings of a future cult classic, All Cheerleaders Die is an infectiously fun, razor-sharp romp that feels right at home amongst its high school horror peers.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 7, 2016

A funny, smart, and subversive satire about the way women are often objectified in horror films. Only not boring, like that description is.

As is often the best advice, rent Heathers instead.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 16, 2015

Young, far-from-dumb and full of comeuppances.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2014

It ultimately succumbs to the conventions it's attempting to lambast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 28, 2014

[The directors have] way too much fun gruesomely dispatching the female characters who have suddenly lost all of the pluck, humour, and cheerleading spirit they spent the first hour attempting to instill in them.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Aug 15, 2014

What keeps the movie energetic and resounding comes down to the astute performances from its actresses and the almost aching reality they bring to a premise both silly and ultimately tragic. Whether they're dead or not, growing up can be hell.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 22, 2014

Some have seen this movie as a sly satire on the lowly roles of women in horror films, but at the same time, it's actually a horror movie about women occupying those same roles.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 20, 2014

A gruesome, expletive-laced, battle-of-the-sexes satire of the scary movie genre featuring enough eroticized gore and titillation at every turn to hold the attention of the testosterone-fueled demographic for the duration.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 19, 2014

The tone shifts as unpredictably as the soundtrack, which goes from a bang to a whisper and back again for no apparent reason.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 19, 2014

Within the first hour All Cheerleaders Die cycles from indie romance, to feminist polemic, to genuine horror, to horror satire, to titillating B-picture. But somehow, this film coheres.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 19, 2014

Much of the plot swerves to completely unpredictable places, and even if the result isn't always successful, it's never boring.
