Haze

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.

Good job of capturing the terror of some hazing. For those that say this does not represent modern frats, there have been 41 hazing deaths since 2000, with at least one each year. Imagine how much overall hazing that represents. I didn't mind the ending.

I thought the film was very well written and very good acting. Kirk was wonderful as the lead. The storyline was very real and you felt as if you were there. Looking forward to Part II of the film. It ended leaving you wanting more.

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.

When I rate movies, I do so purely on how entertained I was. I have no investment or knowledge of Greek life, aside from living a block away from a few frat houses back in college. I don't really care how true to life it was, I'm sure it isn't, but as a work of fiction alone, I though it was very watchable and enjoyable.

The production value was actually pretty decent, the acting wasn't as bad as you would expect, it's actually above average compared to low budgets films like these. I was surprised that I cared about some of the characters and their arcs, which is something I don't expect in these kinds of movies. I've seen a couple other frat movies, including "Goat," the Nick Jonas one, and I would recommend this over that.
