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.Chris

Spoilers herein.Yup, the production values stink. Yup, the thing is juvenile: death and sex, plus poop jokes.But I got into this. That's because, like 'Coven,' it takes itself seriously. Its not camp, where it is bad and knows it. Its bad, and soldiers on. Its juvenile and honestly so. Its no different than Kevin's movies, except with a lower budget.Neither this nor Clerks is as good as 'May' which deals with much the same perspective. Snowballs, glass.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

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.

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.
