Three years later, the girl (Elle) is now in high school and is a cheerleader herself. She dates a cute football player, Nicholas, and is being stalked by a hipster boy named Ben. The other girls, Morgan (who is sleeping with the coach.) and Dee on the squad, push Elle to date him. They are frenemies.
The Cheerleader Murders
Elle is thankful to be alive and wants to run off with Nick. He turns her down and tells her that he is cursed. Elle visits Nick at his house and heads up to his room. He has pictures on the wall of them together, oh, and a picture of him working on an old car similar to the one that was stalking her. Police also visit Nick and search his house. They find the old car and the bloody knife used in the murders. Nick is arrested on the spot.
However, there have been plenty of real-life murder cases involving cheerleaders, some of which have become Lifetime movies over the years. One of the most famous and campiest is Death of a Cheerleader , starring Tori Spelling and Kellie Martin. The 1994 movie tells the true story of high school student Bernadette Protti, who was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of her classmate Kristen Costas, as reported by People. Protti was worried Costas would tell people she was "weird," the Times Wire Services reported after her conviction in 1985. In Death of a Cheerleader, Martin's character is similarly driven to stab Spelling's character to death because she repeatedly calls her "weird."
If you're looking for a cheerleading movie that is more related to the evil spirit element found in The Cheerleader Murders with no basis in truth, look no further than 2009's Jennifer's Body. This Diablo Cody-penned horror film stars Megan Fox as a high school cheerleader out for blood after she becomes possessed by an evil demon. As if high school wasn't hard enough to get through, am I right?
But if you want a more lighthearted movie involving more cheerleaders and less murder (which is more up my alley, to be honest), Bring It On is always worth another watch. Either the original or one of its many sequels is sure to cheer you up in no time.
Emma Walker, a beautiful and vibrant cheerleader, had been killed by a gunshot wound to the head after two bullets had been fired into her bedroom from outside the family's single-story home. One bullet had hit her behind her left ear and the second had lodged into her pillow.
A high school student whose father and sister were recently murdered begins her own investigation after two of her fellow cheerleaders are kidnapped. She sets out on a rescue mission, but the killer may already be hot on her trail.
Holloway raised Widner to be a cheerleader and was so distraught when her daughter failed to make the squad that she hired her former brother-in-law to kill her neighbor, Verna Heath, whose daughter, Amber, had made the squad. Holloway, prosecutors argued in the trial, hoped that Amber would be so distraught that she would quit the team, thus opening a spot for Widner.
Ellie and the police try to find the missing girl and the killer. It is Ellie who stumbles across Dee and as the suspect list grows, it now appears that the last cheerleader, the one investigating, is in danger.
Living on property that was searched by police for these poor young girls bodies, I am disapointed to see there is a tie at all to the actual events that occured. After reading what the movie is about the only coincidence is that there were two girls, who were cheerleaders, from a small town.
One of the more interesting things about the film is that no one else at the high school seems to be that upset over the dead cheerleaders. The school year goes on. The remaining cheerleaders continue to cheer at all the football games and, with the exception of Ellie, nobody even seems to shed a single tear over all the teenagers dying in town. Along with the ghosts and the nightmares and the constant shots of Ellie intensely riding her bicycle from crime scene to crime scene, all of this conspires to give The Cheerleader Murders an oddly surreal feel.
Lisa Ticknor Gabbert, who was also an alumni of the school, talks about how important football players and cheerleaders were to the school. Fellow alum Rusty Simpson agreed, agreeing that they never thought something like this could happen in their town.
Several of her classmates remember her as the beautiful, well-liked cheerleader who had the cute boyfriend and all-American girl persona. She also had an outspoken, sassy side, which Amy thinks may have played a role in her murder. Both she and Dennis think she put up a fight, especially due to the defensive wounds found on her body.
