Attempting to breathe a little life into the franchise, Bring It On: Cheer or Die crosses genres while offering us a plucky squad of underdog cheerleaders cheering for an over-cautious school 20 years after the competition accident. Starting with the basic cheer formula with the squad working to overcome the odds, the tone shifts into horror when the cheerleaders are taken out one by one after choosing to hold secret practices in the old abandoned high school.

As batty, so to speak, as that sounds, Morbius’ experiments work and cure him of his debilitating disease but do leave him with a few unexpected side-effects.

There were a number of science fiction movies released in the 1950s and 1960s. Battle of the Worlds was not one of the better ones. Far from it. Claude Rains stars as a pompous and unlikable scientist predicting an asteroid’s arrival to Earth, and later that it is being controlled by aliens. He happens to be right, although the film is more about his bluster than the events unfolding.
