What critics said
Critics found the film inventive and intermittently entertaining in its attempt to subvert horror tropes, but ultimately too bland, contrived, and dependent on the trashy clichés it mocks.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The resurrected cheerleaders turn conventional victim roles into a revenge fantasy while the film explicitly satirizes horror expectations.
The film frames cheerleader imagery, succubi-like powers, lesbian desire, and revenge violence through an intentionally lurid exploitation style.
Mäddy recruits the cheerleaders to target the football captain and the resurrected group turns against predatory football players.
The ensemble's lesbian attraction and female relationships are integrated into the magic-driven conflict and the film's critique of objectification.
