I've been motivated to watch 'The Initiation' after watching that revolting 2020 'Initiation' the other night, which left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth.
Already this DVD is refreshing as it's showing some old classic trailers like 'The Stuff' and 'House' before the main feature.
Shawnee Smith is awoken to join three other pledges in preparation of their final days of Hell Week where they must undergo some hazing ritual to join the sisters of the ya ya hood.
I liked in 88's 'Pledge Night' how the dudes met their match with candles up their -
Or was it eating apples from the nether regions of -
I forget. It was crude either way.
The killer, or killers, in this movie are released from a mental asylum - hello Michael Myers - and for some reason this looney bin reminds me of the one from 'Ice Cream Man.' Yep, Myers escapes and now there's a lunatic on the loose in the movie.
Did I just detect imitation 'Friday the 13th' music in that lavatory scene?
Shawnee Smith slowly comes to the realization that she's not in an 'Elm Street' sequel as she undergoes some sleep-inducing truth serum tests which proves she's only in a B-grade horror movie which was lesser in value to 'Halloween,' 'Evil Dead,' and 'Friday The 13th.'
Man, I don't recall the first half of this movie being this boring. I thought the movie was about a handful of teens locked in a mall as a prank? What's all this 70's lie detector equipment business?
What's strange about 'The Initiation' is that the analog trailer, looks and sounds, much more intense than the DVD transfer.
I hope the killer in this isn't that generic overweight janitor fella from 'Final Exam.' He's was the most uninspired movie killer out there.
40-minutes in and no mall still with only two murders so far? He uses a claw cultivator as a weapon. You know the one Michael Myers used in 'Halloween 5-Ply' when he killed Fonzie?
There's a classic scene in this movie that I applaud when one of the pledges comes to her senses and tells it straight to all the other's faces, "I didn't come to college for this girl scout crap! We're grown women." That's called maturity. I like that scene.
I never could understand why anyone would want to degrade themself to be humiliated just to be part of a group of rich smug elitists.
Eventually everyone does get locked in the mall with the killers picking them off one by one.
It's kind of confusing how the gardener from earlier, with the fried egg on his face, is connected to being the killer. I didn't get that.
Only one of them makes it to sunrise and it turns out, in a strange twist, that there's two of Shawnee Smith, which I'd completely forgotten about as I've only seen this twice.
With Superman-like powers Vera Miles shows up at the end, packing heat, and blows her other daughter away like the dressing gown crusader she is. And here I was thinking she was just a reclusive drunk of no value.
I bet these kids had a blast filming these scenes in the mall in the wee hours of the night.
