Tori Spelling stars as the headlining cheerleader in the second in our Lifetime True Crime double feature, Death of a Cheerleader, directed by William A Graham. Based on the sad 1984 murder of Kirsten Costas, this Lifetime movie showcases all of Tori Spelling’s raw acting talent, which can only be compared to that of a comatose ferret. Oh, and she’s friends with Wendy Peffercorn. So buckle up, it’s gonna be a rough ride as we attempt to make sense of Tori Spelling’s acting career!

How closely does this dramatization staring Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Patty Duke hew to the true events of the tragic murder of Michele “Missy” Avila, and how effectively do those early 90’s fashions help convey the sense of impending horror? Listen to our movie review today to find out!
