    Tense, bloody, and creepy - yet enjoyable to watch!!

    This was an unusually bloody and graphic LMN movie - some of the scenes really shocked me.

    The reveal of the killer was a real surprise - I did not expect it!

    The ending reminded me of a "Scooby Doo" episode and the final scene with mother and daughter was poignant.

    Actually Decent

    This is one of the better Cheerleader movies on Lifetime. Good story and who done it mystery. Definitely worth a watch if you watch their cheerleader fear the cheer series.

    A fun slumber party movie

    Surprisingly, I enjoyed this movie. I'm generally a fan of slashers and while this has some similar themes it isn't that type of movie. I didn't find it scary or thrilling but it still had its moments and was a fun watch. I think if I was 11-12 years old this would've been a great slumber party movie since it has a few bloody scenes and a good mix of high school life and adult life. I thought they did a good job of developing all of the characters and making them interesting, even though they portrayed most of the high schoolers as rude and wearing short skirts all the time. One thing I didn't enjoy about this movie is the unreliable character plot that they were pushing the whole time leading up to the main character remembering the traumatic experience from her cheerleading days. In my opinion they were pushing this theme a little bit too hard and it became a bit too over the top by the end.

    Pretty good cheerleader whodunit!

    Ellie comes back after 10 years as teacher to the high school where she was a cheerleader and serial killings by the murderer, still at large. But the whole town remembers and mourns. The high school also needs a cheerleader coach and Ellie takes the job only to find out that now she's back, the murders are starting all over again! Is Ellie the serial killer and has amnesia? You'll have to watch to find out! This was a pretty good movie with a decent plot, overall. Recommended!

    Lifetime movies usually terrible

    This movie was genuinely good and keeps you guessing who did it. I usually dont do reviews unless a movie sucks but this movie was legit for being a lifetime movie. If you like mystery/thriller/scary movies watch it. Its not really scary/horror but it is worth watching.
