All Cheerleaders Die (2013), directed by Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson, is a supernatural horror-comedy that serves as a professional remake of the directors’ own 2001 shot-on-video debut. While its title suggests a standard slasher flick, the film is a complex "cross-pollination" of teen drama, sex comedy, and high-fantasy. It follows Maddy Killian (Caitlin Stasey), an outsider who joins the cheerleading squad to dismantle the school's social hierarchy from within, only for a fatal accident to trigger a supernatural war between the cheerleaders and the football team.
The narrative begins with a freak accident that kills head cheerleader Alexis, leading Maddy to audition for the team to exact revenge on the abusive football captain, Terry. Following a violent confrontation at a woods party, Terry causes a car crash that kills Maddy and three other cheerleaders. All Cheerleaders Die
