Stupid, and offensively innocuous, but energetic and watchable trash-o-rama. Some cheerleaders are borrowed for a virgin sacrifice by a buncha satanist hicks led by John Ireland And Yvonne de Carlo. Except none of them are even remotely virginal - a funny gag, but it's telegraphed and not worth the wait. Carradine is back for his usual one day on set as a wino, the girls get supernatural powers as well as a shower scene, and the cheerleader's coach becomes more awesomely stupid and annoying as the film progresses. At one point she utters the line "I'm just a drag!" at EXACTLY the moment that very adjective entered my mind. The story is so discontinuous that it might as well be an anthology - the opening scene sets up a dramatic confrontation with some rival youts who are never seen again, there's a dorky janitor satanist who you think will be the villain but then he just dies, and even the high school setting is dispatched by midpoint. Those who never pass up a movie called 'Satan's Cheerleaders' will feel only mildly ripped off.
