SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS is one of those cheesy, dated 1970s-era Satanist movies that once did the rage back in the day. Some of them are fun, with the likes of THE DEVIL'S RAIN and RACE WITH THE DEVIL remaining entertaining after all these years, but SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS is pure cheese. That comes as little surprise given that the director is none other than exploitation king Greydon Clark, whose main job seems to be to rip off the creepy SATAN'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
The cheesiness begins right from the outset with a lot of dated music and the titles written in a typically '70s font. The main characters are a group of cheerleaders who suffer at the hands of a creepy old janitor, and after a great deal of set up they meet a lame coven populated by ageing Hollywood actors (John Ireland, John Carradine, and Yvonne De Carlo all make cameo appearances). It's tame stuff indeed, with scant horror content and glimpses of nudity, and as a whole it's pretty daft.
