Varsity Blood is a 2014 horror movie that follows a high school football team as they are terrorized by a killer during their homecoming weekend. The movie stars Lexi Giovagnoli as Hannah, a cheerleader who becomes one of the main targets of the killer, Wesley Scott as Tyler, the quarterback of the football team, and Debbie Rochon as Coach Wagner, the team's coach.

The movie begins with the introduction of the main characters - the football team, the cheerleaders, and their two coaches, Coach Wagner and Coach Ray. We learn that the team is preparing for their homecoming game against their rivals, the Edison Eagles. The homecoming game is an important event for the team and the community, and everyone is excited for it.

However, their excitement soon turns into fear when they start receiving ominous messages and strange gifts from an anonymous source. The gifts include a teddy bear with a bloody knife, a message that reads "You're next," and a video of someone killing a pig. The team decides to brush it off as a prank and continue with their preparations.

As the homecoming weekend approaches, things take a dark turn. One by one, members of the team and the cheerleading squad start getting killed off by the mysterious killer. The killer wears a hoodie and a mask that resembles the school mascot, a bulldog. He seems to have a personal vendetta against the team and is targeting them specifically.

Hannah, who is Tyler's girlfriend, becomes one of the main targets of the killer. She starts receiving threatening messages and finds herself in near-death situations several times. Tyler tries to protect her, but he too becomes a target of the killer.

The team and the coaches try to figure out who the killer is and stop him before he can kill more people. They suspect each other and become paranoid, but they eventually find out the truth about the killer's identity and his motive.

Despite some predictable moments, Varsity Blood manages to be a decent horror movie. The acting is not Oscar-worthy, but it is good enough for a low-budget movie. The movie stays true to the classic horror movie formula - a group of teenagers being targeted by a killer - but it adds its own twists and turns to keep the audience engaged.

The movie does a good job of building suspense and creating a tense atmosphere. The killer's identity is not revealed until the end, which keeps the audience guessing. The death scenes are gory and disturbing enough to satisfy horror fans, but not too over-the-top.

One of the strengths of the movie is its characters. While they may seem like typical high school stereotypes at first, they are given enough depth and personality to make them more than just cliches. The relationships between the characters - particularly Tyler and Hannah's - are believable, and the actors have good chemistry.

Another strength of the movie is its setting. The small town setting adds to the sense of isolation and claustrophobia, and the scenes set in the school and the football field are well-shot and atmospheric.

However, the movie does have some flaws. The pacing is a bit slow at times, and some scenes feel like they could have been trimmed down. The killer's motive is not very original, and some of the twists feel a bit contrived.

Overall, Varsity Blood is a decent horror movie that is worth a watch if you're a fan of the genre. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it offers enough scares and suspense to keep you entertained.

Varsity Blood is a 2014 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.7.
