All Cheerleaders Die (2013) is an American horror comedy directed by Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson, starring Caitlin Stasey, Sianoa Smit-McPhee, and Brooke Butler. A remake of their 2001 film, this version blends teen drama, supernatural horror, and dark humor, following a group of cheerleaders who return from the dead with a thirst for revenge.
