All Cheerleaders Die could be described as a cross pollination of horror, sex comedies, action, non-ironic romance and straight up fantasy. And it's also a supernatural thriller, but which captures the reality of the times. Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson have crafted a mix of tones and emotions that encapsulate what it's like to be young in today's world, with its barrage of media, information and instant communication overload. Six photos offer our first look at the film, which will make its premiere at the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival this September.
