Reviews:

“It’s certainly not the strongest of Lifetime’s cheerleader dramas, but it still has enough juicy teen drama and Lifetime-synonymous thrills to make it a fun enough watch for when you have time to kill. Fingers crossed that the rest of Fear the Cheer makes up for where Dying to Be a Cheerleader fell short.” Geeks

“Could have done with more Lifetime hunks in this movie and less generic mental heath depictions of “crazy.” Lifetime Uncorked

” …puts little clues all around to help you figure out the killer. And avid Lifetimer will spot the clues immediately.  For others, it may take some time. But you won’t get that information here. Giving the watcher a workable mystery and a far-fetched plot makes the movie fun to watch.” The Best Darn Girls
