Synopsis

When Abby and her Diablos teammates are forbidden from doing any risky cheer stunts by their overly cautious school, they fear that they will be laughed out of the upcoming regional cheer competition. The squad comes up with a plan to choreograph a winning routine in secret at a nearby abandoned school. Once at the school to rehearse, one by one, the cheerleaders begin to disappear. By the time they realize they're locked inside with a killer, it may be too late for any of them to survive. They must use their skills to fight off a killer who gives them only one choice: Cheer or die!

Reception

Reception towards Bring It On: Cheer or Die has been largely negative. The film scored 20% on Rotten Tomatoes based on five reviews,[8] while Commonsense Media gave it a two-star review.[9]

Spooky Sarah Says gave it 2.5 out of 5, stating that "it is a popcorn-type film to watch in a time when most horror is so heavily centered around trauma and grief".[10] Paul Lê of Bloody Disgusting awarded the movie 1.5 skulls out of 5, praising its premise and some of its stunt work, but criticizing the acting, as well as both its comedy and slasher elements, which he described as lacking due to the PG-13 rating. He concluded the review by saying, "This oddball sequel struggles to find a balance between its roots and its vision, only causing the movie to have no real identity in the end".[11] Independent critic Josh Batchelder gave the film 1 of 5 stars, describing the script as "desperate for a laugh" and criticizing the "overuse of slo-mo".[4]

Donatobom on IGN awarded the movie a 3/10 and described it as "not to their liking", stating that it was painfully disappointing and deflated quicker than Pennywise's balloons against a rocket launcher explosion.[12] In a mixed review, Chris Catt from Creepy Catalog described the film as "not a very good movie", citing its lack of blood and speculating that it was meant as an attempt to revive a franchise that was "fading away". However, he ended the review by stating that he "did kind of enjoy" the film despite its flaws.[13] In a more optimistic review, Melis Amber of Geek Girl Authority described the movie as "the OK kind of terrible", praising its climax and campy dialogue, but criticizing its "sluggish middle".[14]
