Cheerleader Camp (1988) John Quinn

Audio 2: Commentary by Director John Quinn and Producer Jeff Prettyman

Alison follows her friends to a summer camp for cheerleaders. But she is having bad nightmares. Her boyfriend has followed her to the camp but he seems to be more interested in the other girls, girls who sooner or later are found brutally murdered. Alison starts to believe that she has a split-personality who kills them.

Director John Quinn really delivers the pleasingly sleazy low-brow schlock movie goods with lip-licking flair and enthusiasm: there are genuinely shocking outbursts of ferociously grisly violence, a satisfyingly substantial number of gratuitously bared breasts on display, 70’s teen hunk pin-up Leif (“Macon County Line,””Devil Times Five”) Garrett singing a hilariously hideous rap song, a quick, steady pace, solid production values, a truly jolting surprise twist ending, lively performances from the entire cast, and some amazingly atrocious pun-laden dialogue (all time favorite line: “I think we’d all be better off if she’d think more about the team and less about getting honey on her muffin!”).
