Cheerleader Autopsy Trailers

When a freak accident strikes down a busload of nubile, competition bound cheerleaders, all hopes seem lost for the Fighting Beavers of Stinkwater High...until a backwoods Mortician, his opportunistic college-dropout nephew and a simpering night janitor discover that one of the girls is still alive despite her gruesome disfigurements. The three men soon find themselves pitted against each other in a winner takes all face off for control of the last of the Beavers, and the recipe for an astonishingly potent healing elixer!

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
badass_drummer I'm a big fan of movies that are so bad they're good. You know... Hatchet, Thankskilling, and the like. This one is one of the best I've seen. The movie doesn't even try to be good. Because of this, it is hilarious and entertaining. Rubber dolls are not lifelike, blood is faker than ketchup, actors are extremely over-the-top, and I can do better camera-work with my iPhone. This may sound like a 1-star review, and to people who want a serious movie, 1 star would actually be too much. To you and the other drunken people that feel like laughing at something stupid, this is definitely worth a watch. Enjoy!!
Tromafreak What kind of low-life degenerate would come up with something so sleazy, so vulgar, so juvenile? Whoever is responsible for this pointless mess... I'll be honest, I'd kinda like to shake their hand. Cheerleader Autopsy is possibly the most Sub Rosa-ish movie I've come across. And by the way, that was meant as a compliment... I think.A pitch-black humored, white-trashed story of a bunch of cheerleaders who are horribly (and unrealistically) mangled in a ridiculous-looking bus accident. The local mortician/sheriff, and his college drop-out nephew make it their business to prevent these bodies from ending up at the new dog food processing plant which opened across town. These low-lifes have their work cut out for them; especially since the mortician has Alzheimers, and the nephew is a half-wit. Although, compared to their pal, the janitor, I guess they're doing pretty good. We are subjected to the breaking of taboos, the creation of new ones, and of course, the breaking of them too. Not really a storyline or anything, Just a bunch of silliness, mostly involving badly-mangled corpses, or something equally repulsive. Cheerleader Autopsy is truly a new low in Z-grade cult cinema.An awesome title for a B-movie if there ever was one, but I can see how this one could even rub most B-movie fans the wrong way. Hell, even most die-hard Sub Rosa fans (is there such a thing?) might feel they're above this one. Me? Well, I definitely laughed more than a couple times, but the disappointing truth is, Cheerleader Autopsy isn't nearly as shocking as it thinks it is, or as funny. This movie just ain't good enough to be as wacky and obnoxious as it is. Actually, it's quite terrible. And not in that humorous/outrageous way that makes B-cinema awesome. Although, Cheerleader Autopsy tried, and I honestly believe it meant well, but I'm going to have to recommend something a little more worthwhile, like Gore-met Zombie Chef From Hell, or Sick Girl. Or if you're determined to discover some shot-on-video, Sub Rosa craziness, at least pick up something with a little style, like Shatter Dead. As for Cheerleader Autopsy, it's not quite as good as the title suggests, but I've definitely seen worse. And if you're like me, and you find graphic, yet fake-looking castrations to be hilarious, you might not hate this movie. 5/10
T-Ripper Variety is the spice of life, and as a film lover, I like some of everything: Hollywood formula movies, pretentious art films, and unusual stuff that grows in the cracks in between. Stuff like CHEERLEADER AUTOPSY.The plot, such as it is, says a lot:Slice of Lowlife: Loser graduates from blow up sex dolls to sleeping corpses after he takes a job with a degenerate mortician. When fresh meat arrives in the form of dead cheerleaders laid out on the slab, battle begins to see who will emerge as king of the necrophiliacs.If this were a drama, it would be horribly misanthropic, but in fact, C.A. is a mixture of romance, horror and crazy comedy. Hilarious moments pockmark the movie like a bad case of acne, and the cast ham it up as if the're in some old Warhol project. The janitor is played so creepily as to make Crispin Glover nervous, and as the white trash ingénue, Misty Kapp shines as bright as a beer can. I don't know about you, but I've seen enough peroxide blond brats, silly-cone tits and collagen lips for a while. Misty Kapp hits the g-spot in the role of The-Girl(in the trailer)-Next-Door. I hope to see her in more (or in less) in the future.When Hollywood makes a slob comedy, the usual plot device is to depict a lovable rogue surrounded by good hearted but misunderstood outcasts. Vince Vaughn, for example, in DODGE BALL. Here, heroic, or "good" characters are notable only for their absence. There are no smart people, no nice people, no positive values, no morals. These characters' only concern is where their next beer or orgasm will come from. This absolute refusal to show anybody who is not a worthless P. of S. is one of the things that gives CHEERLEADER AUTOPSY it's edge. With no familiar signposts of morality, it gives the movie a sense of danger. Face it- even regarding the best of most Hollywood products, you know how the movie will end just by looking at the poster. With a movie like C.A., knowing anything can happen, means you don't know what will happen. It's far from normal, and that's the fun. John Waters used to make movies like this, before he succumbed to the Hollywood dollar(s), but it's few and far between since then. In fact, this is a lot like Water's early stuff and that's a good barometer of whether you'll like it. You can't recommend PINK FLAMINGOS to just anyone, and the same is true of C.A. It's not for the squeamish, the overly sensitive, the politically correct. If you're metroplex mainstream, in the mood for the next Bruckheimer blockbuster, you'll hate it; The art house crowd will despise it. But if you like variety, and need to decompress from the above choices now and then, fire up the bong, and open the six pack, and take the dirt road off the mainstream highway to CHEERLEADER AUTOPSY. .
garland-schaefers at least it wasn't boring. The affects were fair to poor for a micro-budget film. The extras on the DVD were okay, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a commentary. It was short, and appropriately cheesy. It just didn't sing. Nothing sparked. Its just an average little indy horror flick. Many of Sub Rosa's other efforts are better.
