Cheerbleeders (2008)

Short/Horror     Not Rated

Plot

Penny and Devon, a pair of high school outcasts, are best friends in their isolation in the small town of Blackfoot, Idaho. However, things take a nasty turn for the worst when penny inadvertently turns Devon into an unspeakable evil, the most popular boy in school.

Acting

As good as can be expected, I liked Laurel Vail in the lead role.

Gore

A guy gets his head torn off.

Sex/Nudity

Several women in underwear, and a brief and fully clothed sex scene.

Final Thoughts

I like the ultra cheesy premise of this movie, which is like a horror version of DTV comedy Pretty Cool, and I like a good deal of the talent involved. The only real problem is that this is a short, lasting only 11 minutes, therefore there is not nearly enough time to built up the story or characters, and it just has to go directly to , the climax. Although i liked this, i think it would have been even better, had it been a full length movie or even a short that was about 30 minutes or so. Still one worth going out an finding, certainly provides an entertaining 10 minutes.
