Where to even begin with this nonsense? I have no clue what they they were attempting here but it missed at every turn. Were they going for the 'Inception' of cheap horror flicks? Was it supposed to be respected as an actual film?
This hot garbage had no structure, instead choosing to jump between asleep and deep asleep it a movie that never hit. The effects were a cheese fest which was supposed to be 'part of the gar' I guess and then switches ' no we're serious' and back to 'no were not'. The dialog is painfully ridiculous and the acting is even worse. Plot points go no where. ..... And 'My cat is stuck in the tree anyone???'
Seriously, just avoid this train wreck. It doesn't even have 'dumb fun'.

Given the title, I wasn't expecting much. The lighting was also a little too dark throughout. But overall an entertaining film with a good twist at the end.
This is a pretty useless effort all round. There is nothing frightening about it and the story is boring. There's a bit of gore but it's film school stuff. Plus, there's an annoying white guy doing a bad Rastafarian act the entire way through. However, there is one amusing scene in the film, which includes the annoying white guy, so he gets a half-pass. It's also the only reason it got one extra star. Avoid this 'film' like the plague.
This film is built on a gimmick - the notion that the characters are making a terrible film and we, the audience, get to see the ensuing train wreck.
However, the film itself becomes a train wreck, using tired jokes and uninspired writing. Every scene feels forced and there's no character to root for. The "bad guys" look like people who just grabbed some Halloween garb off the clearance rack and the "good guys" are supposed to be your goofy Scooby Doo mystery team types, but that cliché only works if the film were set in an era before people reviewed every location on the internet and before you could vet any person with the touch of a button.
The worst part is, there's this smugness to all the writing that just makes it seem in every line of dialogue like the writer thought he was being the most clever guy who ever walked the planet. Hopefully he learned from this experience that a "so bad that it's good" film is usually fun because its creators worked extremely hard at something that INADVERTENTLY turned out extremely bad. They didn't make it bad ON PURPOSE.
However, this film was made badly on purpose to try to cash in on that type. All the "so bad they're good" movies were never planned that way, and this film is no exception. It's just bad.

Strong story, characters and directing. Gave us a familiar topic but delivered in a way that was fresh and new. Play along and enjoy the ride that Virgin Cheerleaders in Chains takes you on. As a reviewer, I was very impressed with the care and attention Gary Gannaway put into making a genuine high quality horror film. It never feels like an Indie film and is that rare gem.
