“Spirit fingers won’t save you from the old gods.”
The film follows Martha (a wooden Jenna Kline) and Stella (a slightly more emotive Lia Torres), twin sisters who are co-captains of the “Serpent Creek Vipers,” a high school cheer squad with a hidden past. During a team-building retreat on land leased from a local tribe, the girls accidentally perform a routine that mirrors an ancient “purification dance.” The tribe’s exiled elder (a scenery-chewing character named “Old Crow”) warns that the squad has “three sunsets to undo the cheer, or the land will take its sacrifice.” Martha -- Stella -- Tribal Cheerleaders Destroyed ...
Naturally, they double down on their basket tosses. The result? The “Tribal Cheerleaders” (a clumsy term the film never defines) are systematically destroyed—one by snakebite, one by a collapsing pyramid, and two by what appears to be an angry badger painted with ochre. The climax involves Martha and Stella fighting each other with pompoms dipped in broken glass. “Spirit fingers won’t save you from the old gods
