I came across an add about this flick and contacted the director who have send me a signed copy of his on and only flick. I didn't really know what I should expect but the title did remind me of a few things. Zombie, well, I guess no explanation needed. Cheerleader, that's so eighties that always contains some nudity. Camp, that means a slasher, remember Sleepaway Camp and so many others concerning a camp (Friday the 13th). So to bid against all those classics is really hard.
But John Fabris decided to make it a bit funny to but the low budget atmosphere behind him. That must be the reason why some people hate this low budget but I really had some laughs. The homo at the camp who is training the upcoming cheerleaders was really funny. The attack of the squirrel just can't be taken seriously. When they finally kill it, just see what's inside it. And when they are cheerleading with their instructors before them I also had a laugh.
Naturally making a spoof isn't really enough. You still need to put some horror in it. And I must say he did it well. Some scene's were really gory, the classic eating of the intestines. The arrow being followed by the camera. All elements of the classics are in it, the axe, the chainsaw and naturally some nudity. One of the cheerleaders is almost always walking around with her nude breasts.
For me it was a nice effort, of course it can't compete with major flicks. But I did have a nice time watching it. It isn't available at the shops, guess you still have to search for a copy. You don't watch it for the acting, you watch it for it's campiness.
