Undercover Cheerleader
Directed by Danny J. Boyle
Produced by Reel One Entertainment, Lifetime
A teen thriller that blends investigative journalism with slasher-adjacent danger, built on paranoia and social tension rather than deep character work.
Autumn is a beautiful transfer student who goes undercover as a cheerleader to do an exposé on the cruel culture of the squad for her school newspaper. But when someone begins viciously attacking cheerleaders, she starts to fear for her own life.
