Haze

Haze is the most memorable movie that I have seen in years. It is gripping, captivating, and thought-provoking. The film does an amazing job addressing societal issues in a realistic and engrossing manner. The storyline is deep, layered, and captured my interest from the beginning to the end. It is amazing to see the character development throughout the movie. Incredibly, everyone that I saw the film with related to the characters in different ways.

This is the only film that I have come across that delves into the realities of fraternity hazing. While it is clear the movie takes the viewer on a journey into the world of college Greek life, it also engages the viewer in the larger issue of "what it means to belong". The film leaves the audience members grappling with the significance of belonging and the impact of the need to belong in our society.

For me, this film is a clear 10/10. It is one of those rare films that you continue to think about long after viewing it.

I think this film captures the realities of Greek Life and hazing today incredibly well. All you have to do is read about what just happened at Penn State to see the horrific hazing that goes on today. I know first hand that this happens almost exactly as it appears in the movie. Reviewers who don't think that it's accurate have had a very sheltered, narrow experience in my opinion. But I'm happy they were not hazed the way so many people are all over the country are. It's an epidemic, and getting worse. This movie sheds a light on it. Everyone in Greek Life or people thinking of joining a fraternity or sorority should see HAZE. Plus, it's just an awesome movie - very entertaining and intense.

I am a member of the largest social FRAT in the US. I thought this film was Awesome and coming from a man who was on both sides of the Hazing as a pledge and a several year member I would say this is as close to REAL as I have ever seen. In my humble opinion about 70-80% of what was depicted was spot on. We never physical touched (slapped, punched) a pledge, the real hazing is psychological. Greek life is not for everyone with less than 10% of campus populations in Greek and every year becoming less relevant mainly due to pledges deaths which are Always Avoidable!

I've had the opportunity to see HAZE on the big screen twice. It's gritty, captivating, funny, sexy, misogynistic and appalling all at the same time.

This is a great full-length ride through the rituals of "Greek" college life. A sophisticated screen-play tells the story of two brothers at odds with each other over pledging to a fraternity known for egregious hazing practices and the films voyeuristic-like point of view makes you feel like you're watching as a fly on the wall while all the debauchery goes down.

People will be talking about this one!

I'm not going to spoil this but I enjoyed the movie all the way until the end. I literally had to rewind it twice to make sure it was actually the end and my movie wasn't skipping and cutting off the ending. The ending was that bad that I though it was a glitch.
