The film is ''[[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory very]]'' [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory loosely based off of]] [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kirsten_Costas the 1984 murder of Kirsten Costas]] and plays up a lot of the facts of the case for entertainment value (namely in painting the likeable and popular Costas as a mean girl). That said, the film was still well-received by fans and even spawned a remake 25 years later, this time actually named ''Film/DeathOfACheerleader'' where Martin plays a small role.

* AdultsAreUseless: Played with: whereas the other adults in the film are simply unaware of Angela's true motives (her parents), quite knowledgeable of them (the investigators), or just peripheral characters (everyone else outside of the school), the adults in the high school, particularly social-climbing, insensitive Principal Saxe, couldn't care less about how left out or miserable the "have nots" of the school (unpopular, poor or working class, etc.) are. This is depressingly true in Monica's case; in spite of being visibly bullied on multiple occasions throughout the film, including in class, in an assembly, and on the infamous ski trip, no one bothers to put a stop to it. Furthermore, it's implied that her own parents ''forced'' her to go on the trip.
