[TIFF ’13 Spotlight] Two Horror Legends Team For ‘All Cheerleaders Die’!
While everyone is screaming for Eli Rtoh’s The Green Inferno (we’re just as excited), the one film part of this year’s Midnight Madness package that you should all be paying attention to is All Cheerleaders Die. It’s the one pic I’m most pumped to see because it hails from two incredible horror filmmakers that you should all be highly aware of by now.
The first is Lucky McKee, the man behind the astounding indie May, as well as The Woods, Red and more recently The Woman. Chris Sivertson is also a seasoned genre director, having helmed the shocker Jack Ketchum adaptation The Lost. He also directed the highly underrated studio film I Know Who Killed Me, starring Lindsay Lohan, for Sony Pictures.
Together they’re World Premiering Modernciné’s All Cheerleaders Die, starring Caitlin Stasey, Sianoa Smit-McPhee and Tom Williamson, at the 38th Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 5 to 15, 2013.
“When tragedy rocks Blackfoot High, rebellious outsider Mäddy Killian shocks the student body by joining the cheerleading squad. This decision drives a rift between Mäddy and her ex-girlfriend Leena Miller — a loner who claims to practice the dark arts. After a confrontation with the football team, Mäddy and her new cheerleader friends are sent on a supernatural roller coaster ride which leaves a path of destruction none of them may be able to escape.”

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
