Cheerleader Camp

Though it can be said for many genres, horror is notorious for creating great posters and home video box art to compensate for and mask shitty movies. While the poster art for Cheerleader Camp smacks of a teen comedy sex romp mixed with horror elements, the movie itself is a uninspired, by-the-numbers slasher. It's Meatballs meets Sleepaway Camp meets boredom and a nearly thirty year old Leif Garrett playing a high school student. Despite attempts to use dream imagery and countless red herrings to hide the identity of the killer, it's not hard to figure out who's behind all the bloodshed. Gimme a "Meh."

That reminds me of the poster for Return To Horror High starring George Clooney.
