Cheerleader Camp, a routine teen slasher film, follows the adventures of a group of teenage girls who go away to a cheerleader camp for the summer. Alison Betsy Russell, one of the group, is having ni... read more read more...ghtmares. Brent, her boyfriend, has followed her to the camp but really seems more interested in the other girls. When those girls are found murdered, Alison believes she may be the killer. This routine slasher film follows the established formula with lots of attractive young women being killed in bloody and inventive ways and while only average, Cheerleader Camp, also released as Bloody Pom Poms, will please lovers of the genre. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

    Cheerleader Camp is really a guilty pleasure. The film is on par with Sleepaway Camp as being cleverly silly, yet somewhat scary at times. Cheerleader Camp is simply put, a fun little Horror film to watch. The film is not to be taken so seriously, and in the end, if you don't tak... read moree it seriously, you'll discover that a fine film lies beneath its veneer of B grade fair. The cast is comprised of Betsy Russell, who would later be famous for playing the wife of homicidal madman, Jigsaw in the Saw series also in this film is teenaged heartthrob Leif Garrett and Playboy centerfold, Pamela Ferrati. The cast seem like they're having fun with this film and it shows on screen. Cheerleader Camp is not for everyone, but if you like silly B grade slasher flicks, give this one a shot. It's a better film than everyone suggests it to be.

    A very poor slasher film from the late 80's. It's so cheesey and is more of a comedy than a horror of any sort. A similar film more recently made is Cheerleader Massacre, which is a lot better!

    Give me an B! Give me an A! Give me an D!
    What does that spell? BAD.
    Yes, pretty bad, cheesy and stupid slasher with a couple of funny moments, some gore and nudity.
    If you're a fan of the slasher genre, it's worth a look. It's certainly not the worst I've ever seen. Otherwise.... read more..Skip it!

    This movie is in the same vein as all the other kinda girls being stalked by a killer movies except for the fact that this one isnt as good as the rest like slumber party masscare, sleepaway camp etc. Girls at a cheerleading camp are being killed off one by one some twists and t... read moreurns but the payoff at the end is small at best worth a watch to your its so bad it might be good section of 80's horror

    Not much to write home about.

    Extra cheesy & super corny plus bad acting but I guess that's what makes it an 80's horror movie classic.Add this 1 to your So Bad It's Good folder

    That was seriously horrible. Bad acting. bad comedic moments, but the ending was surprisingly good. The bad guy gets away with it!

    All the naked porn stars in the world couldn't save this travesty of a film. Poor acting aside, nothing except for the naked girls is even remotely entertaining in this one. I don't want to sound unreasonable, but by 1988, there was simply no excuse for a slasher executed this ba... read moredly.

    this movie was actually a bore. most all of the characters were a bore and you could smell who the killer was from a mile away. the ending did make me laugh though but that was all.

    Pretty decent little slasher flick from the 80's. I might have liked it more than others would, as this is one of my favorite realms of the horror genre. But at an hour and 25 minutes, it doesn't take a whole lot of your time away and it's not a bad way to waste that time.
