Here's an enjoyable little treat à la Friday the 13th, in which some cool majorettes are getting bumped off one by one at the hands of a psychopath, whose identity is only revealed at the end of the journey. A sort of grade B "giallo" novel for the slasher crowd. John Russo delivers the goods with a fast-paced rhythm and a sense of crudeness that fits like a serial killer glove. Although none of his characters are memorable, the premature execution of their livelihood, however, is downright effective. Russo may not be prose-witty, but the tight direction with which he controls his narrative packs a good punch. Yes, the only thing one may get out of picking up THE MAJORETTES is spending a few hours of twisted mindless fun, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, is there? -----Martin Boucher

this is one of the prolific russos best.......it has many plot twists,and stays unpredictable throughout......someone is stalking and slaying cheerleaders,but who?and why?........youll guess wrong at least once,but be shocked many times.......

When he could not secure financing for his script, John Russo (co-screenwriter of Night of the Living Dead) adapted it into a novel. A serial predator is killing cheerleaders, lots of sex, violence, and sado-masochism, but little suspense. Only of moderate interest to NotLD fans.
