The Majorettes

Decent... kind of
Well, I came in watching this movie with very low expectations, and I got, for the most part, what I expected. There are some nice moments, like the first kill in the convertible, and the dialogue between the two kids before that, but mainly, the movie was a by the book slasher, and then the end was a by the book revenge flick. The only thing that wasn't by the book in this movie was a few nice twists towards the end, even though they weren't big enough to save the movie from being rather bland. The acting for the most part was bottom of the barrel, with the exception of a few people. And the movie just seemed like it wanted to be to main stream for its own good. Some parts just cried out for a Troma style over the top feel, but instead they were stuck in total seriousness. That killed the mood, considering that this is a movie about a man killing majorettes. Oh, and don't expect gore. There is blood, but that's it.
One thing that really bugged me was the disk it self...

One of the worst 80s cheese fests
Slasher films are known for their who-dun-it plot, gory slash and death scenes, and most of the time a cat and mouse chase scene betwen the killer and the victim/ or between the killer and the final girl/guy. Many slasher films are atmospheric, creepy, suspenseful and/or gory. The Majorettes is one of those bad cheesy flicks that is nt worth a dime. I feel that there are some great scenes in this film but those can never save this from being unsophisticated,stupid, having horrid acting( like they picked random people off the street!). There are some very good looking females but they are supposed to be butone twirlers!!?! Which is really cheesy seeing as right in the beginning of this the are TRYING to dance to some awful 80s keyboard song and none of them can act or dance or twirl a butone for that matter. One great chase scene follows and then a death scene but the plot falls apart bc of the bad acting and the stupid script. This is not worth time and money especially when you can...

The Majorettes
The Majorettes is an 80's horror film, so it was a must watch for me. The first fifteen minutes has alot of storylines going on so it can get confusing and seem like there is about three stories going on. The first kill was very well done, the killer favors slashing the throats of the majorettes and then baptizing them into water. It also has faint religious overtones but this film has so much going on that its hard to follow. One girl was set to inherit half a million dollars and that story gets lost in the shuffle. Overall, it can be an enjoyable film but has way too many stories going on and it can get confusing.
