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 worked as an extra for this film a few years ago. So when I heard it was finally being released and showing at a theater near me, I jumped at the chance. I honestly didn't know what to expect when the lights dimmed and the show started. But I can say now that this film is simply incredible. Based on Greek mythology, the film blends elements of modern life and ancient myth into a captivating story everyone needs to see. The acting, the writing, the filmmaking, the editing, and even the score all work together flawlessly to create something truly amazing. Everyone should see this film. And not just those who pledged for fraternities and sororities in college.

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 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.
