Get ready to swap your pom-poms for survival gear. Lionsgate is bringing a fresh slice-and-dice horror flick directly to digital platforms. Directed by prolific genre filmmaker Shawn C. Phillips, Cheer Bloody Murder arrives on VOD this December.
High School Spirits Turn Visceral
Something deeply terrifying is lurking in the halls of the world’s most prestigious cheerleading camp. What should be an intense training ground quickly transforms into an absolute bloodbath.
A masked killer with an insatiable bloodlust begins stalking the young campers and their coaches. The team must fight for survival while deciphering a dark pattern of revenge. The knife-wielding slasher systematically dismantles the camp before revealing a shocking ultimate secret.
A Massive Ensemble of Genre Icons
The slasher boasts an impressive lineup packed with beloved cult icons and veteran stars. Modern horror royalty Scout Taylor-Compton leads the cast alongside character actor Robert LaSardo.
The stacked ensemble includes Lauren Francesca, Caleb Thomas, Kelly Lynn Reiter, and Sean Whalen. The feature also features genre icons Tom Sizemore, James Duval, Vernon Wells, and Todd Bridges. Writer William Collazo Jr. penned the original script, while Julie Anne Prescott provided dynamic rewrites.
Pure Retro Slasher Mayhem
With an R-rating for “violent bloody images, language, and nudity,” this feature leans heavily into classic retro slasher tropes. The film also delivers a hilarious mix of Bring It On energy crossed directly with Scream.
Fans of campy, blood-soaked horror will find plenty of practical kills and outrageous entertainment. Ultimately, add this bloody holiday treat to your December watch list.

Cheer Bloody Murder will be available to rent or purchase across major digital platforms on December 15, 2026. Horror fans can stream the film on services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
