SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Vomitron_G An unexpected nice little surprise, this one. "Corpses" (2004) was the only movie I previously saw from director Rolfe Kanefsky. Even though it was a real low-budget horror-spoof, not so good on many levels, I still got a nice kick out of it. To my surprise "The Hazing" not only looks a lot better, but it's actually about three times better as a movie on all levels! Just mix together "Evil Dead" and the "Night Of The Demons" trilogy with a bit of sorority shenanigans, and you pretty much get "The Hazing". Less original than those movies perhaps, but still a fresh & spirited companion piece and one can certainly have as much fun with it. Oh, and for those who didn't know already, Tiffany Shepis really packs two extremely hot natural goodies. "The Hazing" is plain fun low budget horror entertainment. A bit of a party flick, really. The right stuff to warm & loosen up your audience on a movie night before proceeding to more serious stuff.
smoke0 With all the inane, witless garbage being released to theaters, it is always a shock to find a gem like this that for some ridiculous reason went straight to video. This film has style, originality, humor, imagination and intelligence. Not to mention decent direction, editing and acting. The characters appear at first to be your average stereotypical horror grouping of who-will-die-first-and-how?, and then the film throws all that away to keep you not only guessing but thinking. What more could one ask from a movie one has to pay to see in a theater? Except that you won't find this anyplace but the local video store. Forget big screen releases with super-serious A-list stars and nonsensical, hole-ridden plot lines, just go to the video store and rent this movie. The Hazing is for those who can appreciate clever, imaginative horror like Hostel or The Evil Dead series, and it is a shame this was never brought to box office.
insomniac_rod Mindless slasher flick that accomplishes it's mission: entertain. We got plenty of hot women (Brooke Burke, Tiffany Shepis!), death scenes, and a cool setting. That's enough for a B-movie that airs on Cinemax at late night. The plot is somehow a rip-off "The Evil Dead" and "The Fear 2" but has it's own ideas. Also, it reminded me of "Popcorn". Anyways, the acting is not the best but the characters are symphatetic. Tiffany Shepis steals the show and carries the whole movie on her back. She's gorgeous. What a hot body... The rest of the cast is just okay. I wonder how Brad Dourif was convinced to make this movie. The director does whet he can. THe movie is eye for the candy mainly because of it's use of colors mixed with dark settings. The death scenes aren't inventive or gory but still were a nice try. The things to watch in "The Hazing": Brooke Burke's brief appearance. She wears the shortest mini skirt she found! She looked totally hot in that scene. Tifanny Shepi's butt is also something to check out. And the "Evil Dead" references. That's it. This movie isn't that bad. It deserves a watch only if you have nothing better to do.
Verona I found "The Hazing" to be an enjoyable film, and I really appreciated the director's subtle references to the Evil Dead series- an arrow being shot at a Bruce Campbell poster, for example. The director really seemed to have a sense of humor about the whole thing, and it just wouldn't be an A- film without the inclusion of Jeff Fahey, Brad Douriff or Malcolm McDowell. Douriff did a good enough job, as the psychotic professor. It also reminded me of "Demon Knight" in some parts- where the demon talks people into their own deaths. Really enjoyable, but I don't know how "scary" it really was. The leads were good and I really liked the "blonde bimbo" change. Very cool!
