Many people like to say this is the sequel to Cheerleader Camp. For a long time there were rumors of a Cheerleader Camp 2 existing, featuring a young Uma Thurman, but being basically impossible to find. I even own a movie review book that came out about 5 years ago that has a synopsis of the alleged Cheeleader Camp 2. I don't have any idea how that review came to be because there is no sequel. The fact of the matter is, is that this film began shooting as Cheerleader Camp 2, but when a different production company took over filming, the title and story was changed. The finished product now stand as it's own film, and was actually originally released as The Millennium Countdown. That whole story is more interesting than anything the finished product has to offer. The movie starts out right with featuring plenty of T and A, hinting at a possibly good B horror movie. The story is about college girls who go with their professor to a remote lake to search for Indian artifacts. They find themselves terrorized by a biker gang, a giant demon, and a monster in a lake. The low-rank production is hampered with bad dialog, wooden acting, and a lack of terror and violence, something that usually makes a low-budget horror film work. The film's big finale is hokey and inane and there are no real special effects to even mention. The steady pace is the only thing to keep the un-demanding viewer watching, but in the end they will probably be disappointed. The movie moves along fine with all it's flaws, there just isn't anything else in this to recommend. For some reason this movie reminded me of Sorority Girls And The Creature From Hell. Very average B-movie viewing. Two Stars.
