John Quinn (6)

Silly, but entertaining slasher, that mixes plenty of screwball, T&A comedy in with the bloody slicing and dicing. The story sees Alison (Betsy Russell) and Cory (Lucinda Dickey) heading off to cheerleader summer-camp. Alison is suffering from gruesome nightmares and thinks she's developing a split personality. When her fellow cheerleaders and the camp staff begin to turn up dead it looks as if Alison is having more than nightmares. Writers David Lee Fein and R. L. O'Keefe tell a story full low-brow schlock, with director John Quinn wasting no opportunity to squeeze in some grisly violence and ensuring a mighty high boob count. The lead players are more-or-less adequate with the cast rounded out by an inept Leif Garrett, a hammy George "Buck" Flower, glamour girls Rebecca Ferratti and Krista Pfanza and a pre-porno Teri Weigel. "Cheerleader Camp" is a minor slasher, but it is a cheerful and cheesy enough slice of low-budget trash.… (mehr)
