Behind The Lens: 'Cheer Bloody Murder' Turns A Cheer Camp Into A Hunting Ground

---

A cheer squad learns to move as one. A slasher only needs one person to break formation. In Cheer Bloody Murder, director Shawn C. Phillips puts a masked killer inside an elite cheerleading camp, where the campers and coaches become targets in a pattern of revenge. Lionsgate releases the 93-minute horror film on Digital December 15.

A Camp Built Around Teamwork

A cheer camp gives a slasher a setting with its own rules. Campers learn to read one another’s timing, anticipate a partner’s next move, and trust the people beside them. Put a killer in those same hallways and paying close attention to the people around you takes on a different meaning. The revenge thread gives the attacks a question to build toward: what connects the people being hunted?

A Mystery Beneath The Mask

Scout Taylor-Compton, Robert LaSardo, and Lauren Francesca are among the cast, alongside Tom Sizemore, James Duval, and Todd Bridges. William Collazo Jr. wrote the film, with Julie Anne Prescott credited for the rewrite. Phillips also appears in the cast. The mystery gives the audience something to watch between the scares: how the next attack might fit the pattern.
