| User ReviewShawn WA killer stalks the high profile high school majorette squad one by one. Watchably routine 80s horror that lacks imagination or suspense. Steers off-course for a while in a revenge subplot and I'm not convinced many of these majorettes can actually twirl a baton at all. |
| User ReviewBill BOkay, so here's my initial feelings on the first time watch: "This gets an extra half star for some assorted nudity, but on the whole it's a rather wasted endeavor, as it wastes most of the death scenes due to poor editing. The plot gets bizarrely complicated with a peeping tom janitor and a gang who are ratted out to the cops by one of our characters, building to a strangely action oriented ending instead of something more akin to the normal horror film." Having given it a second look I would have to bump my rating my a full star on the second viewing, just because it gets so fucking weird in the latter half, which is immensely entertaining. Rental? A cautious rental? |
| User ReviewKevin BThis is a highly enjoyable but terrible movie. You have to be able to appreciate that in order to find it entertaining. It's got all the hallmarks of a mediocre '80s slasher movie, with some action movie cliche's thrown in for good measure. |
| User ReviewAl MSomewhat enjoyable as as a terrible film, The Majorettes is a truly awful slasher film that features copious nudity, which does little to make up for its lack of plot, uninspired death scenes, terrible acting, and total absence of scares. Abominable on every level yet still entertaining for those who love awful slasher flicks. |
| User ReviewHarlan HUgh. For a 1980s slasher flick with a promising (though not entirely original) premise, this was just plain boring. Be forewarned that the cover is entirely misleading: Nobody is killed with a cheerleading baton. This is quite unfortunate since that would've been AWESOME and made this movie worth watching. Rah! Rah! |
