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
