Cheerleader Autopsy

Cheerleader Autopsy clearly was made on a very low budget. It's an ambitious attempt and clearly a large amount of effort has been employed to produce sets and arrange it's production.

The problem is that whilst lengths have been taken to provide the odd bit of nudity and appalling attempt at slap stick wit, the story and script are appalling.

"Let's get out there and make a film" they might have said. What they should have said is "Let's get out there and make a GOOD film"

Given the premise, and the fact that the film has clearly been marketed well enough for me to have seen it, it's a shame no effort was made to produce quality, otherwise they'd have had an audience and maybe made a future for themselves.

OK, so it was independently made and the budget might buy you a round at your local bar, but it was still bad. But for the bare breasts shown throughout I don't think I would have lasted 15 minutes.

The story was entertaining, but the gratuitous gore was a waste. Could we not develop this a bit more and leave the gross-outs to the Russian army? But I guess some people like that kind of stuff. Too bad they are too young to be allowed to watch R-rated films.

Kudos go to the special effects people, they did their best I assume. Rumor has it that several of the cheerleaders were part of said team. I wish they had gotten more screen time. 4 of the 5 were pretty cute.

Would I have paid for this? No, and so I am very happy to report that a free copy is available for download if you go looking for it. If I ha burned it to disc it would have been a waste of $0.25. I guess if you count the electricity used in the viewing I have been ripped off.

It's not even a good Bad movie if you see what I mean..... Cheerleader horror movies ought to have at least a few cute cheerleaders who manage to have a wardrobe malfunction every few scenes, as this movie goes on you are rather glad they generally keep their clothes on cos they aren't exactly pretty.... The rest of it just gonzo enough to lift it to a 2 instead of a 1.... The plot is a bit hard to follow some of the time, glaringly easy in other places, generally rather disjointed, which considering the mad doctor disectionist theme might have been a situationalist pun in something cleverer. This is one for bad low-budget horror purists, if you are looking for a Skinemax T+A horror show, get something else.

at least it wasn't boring. The affects were fair to poor for a micro-budget film. The extras on the DVD were okay, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a commentary. It was short, and appropriately cheesy. It just didn't sing. Nothing sparked. Its just an average little indy horror flick. Many of Sub Rosa's other efforts are better.

I'm a big fan of movies that are so bad they're good. You know... Hatchet, Thankskilling, and the like. This one is one of the best I've seen.

The movie doesn't even try to be good. Because of this, it is hilarious and entertaining. Rubber dolls are not lifelike, blood is faker than ketchup, actors are extremely over-the-top, and I can do better camera-work with my iPhone.

This may sound like a 1-star review, and to people who want a serious movie, 1 star would actually be too much. To you and the other drunken people that feel like laughing at something stupid, this is definitely worth a watch. Enjoy!!
