In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Initiation OK
You would think this new slasher film is a typical college
movie initially; you know…parties, hazing, unconscious girls, past
accusations. It does take a bit for the
slasher aspect to take effect and there are large bouts of slasher-less activity. During the time it is a slasher movie, you
know exactly who is going to get it, just a matter of how and when; you
know…typical slasher stuff. I don’t know
what else you’d expect in terms of plot for a slasher movie. In true slasher fashion, you do actually get
to know the majority of characters, however deplorable they may be, and the
majority of kills are decent enough to label them somewhat worthy---you
actually get to see them happen as opposed to just seeing the killer’s dirty
work afterwards (meaning, yes, it is violent at times). I personally don’t care for the big reveal in
these films, I actually have to like it beforehand, but the person behind the
mask is no big surprise (you should be able to figure out their motive given
the victims). I didn’t feel completely
satisfied when it was over, even though there were no loose ends (although I
could see a sequel happening) and it was 90 minutes (give or take). Slasher fans may want to check this out, and
there’s no harm in doing so, but don’t expect anything special that you would
want to watch more than once. 7/21/2021
