Cheer Camp Killer

I remember on October 10, 2020 (the release date), Me and my Mom were watching Lifetime. I saw this and said "I would like to see this". Since we have Xfinity TV, She could record it and watch it any time. So I watched it today and it was not expecting it to be a drama. I was expecting a slasher film about cheerleaders being murdered one by one. But, I give it a 7 because, It is still a good film. I was happy to see one of my favorite actresses had a role in the film, Jacqueline Scislowski.

It wasn't a bad movie, but the movie is called "cheer camp killer" and literally nobody was killed during the movie. So I'm unsure of why that's the title.

This was an amateurish movie centering on a black high school cheerleader. Sophia, who becomes the envy of a mother with a daughter who is pushed to eliminate her cheerleader competition at any cost. Sophia is next on her list. What happens? I don't think anyone really cares except another high schooler. Skip it!

Low budget and terrible acting, even by Lifetime standards. First of all, "camp"? This is set on a school campus. Not even a big campus. A football field, an outside eating area, and 1 floor of a building. I dont ever expect a masterpiece from Lifetime, but they're usually fun, well acted, and interesting enough. This was just bizarre on all levels.

I'm a huge fan of LMN movies but this is not at all one of their better ones.

The plot is very slow moving and really goes nowhere through the whole film. Sometimes LMN movies will give you some interesting twists and turns, but not here.

The acting here was very amateurish. Even General Hospital / LMN regular Andrea Bogart can't make it work. The only bright spot was Jacqueline Scislowski who should have a future in other LMN movies and maybe a little beyond that. She'll do well if they can get her a decent script and competent cast.

I have to agree with the other reviewer who noted that the moves the cheerleaders were doing were incredibly amateurish compared to real competitive cheerleading (which is a thing).
