Initiation

Give it a bit of a chance and it has an okay payoff. It is not spectacular, but is a decent Friday evening watch with the wife.

Initiation is a very strange movie. On one hand it seems like it is just another stupid teen, social media slasher. But when you watch it you realize that the movie is taking time to develop it's characters, and to give them real issues in life. All of these things combined to make a film that was very surprising. The performances are pretty good, mainly from the lead actress. The gore is also very good. My issues with the film is that it takes a little to long for something to happen, and I would've loved there to be some more tension, but the movies final 15 minutes delivers some great chase scenes, gore, and tension. Overall this movie has some pacing issues, and some missed opportunities, but it had some good characters, good acting, good tension, and great gore.

This movie couldn't decide if it was a drama about on campus sexual assault or a suspense or horror or what. The horror took too long to actually get started and once it did it wasn't really worth the wait.

I'm not exactly sure what some people were expecting from this movie but it is a great slasher flick. It's very similar to the Scream movies. I found it very enjoyable.

This isn't the typical Screamfest flick. The story offers plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. The killer wears an ultra cool metal reflective mask and murders with multiple weapons, including a drill. There's a lot of social media so I don't recommend watching at a drive in, I couldn't see some of the messages. As fun and bloody as the movie is, the characters act like they're in a drama, which was refreshing.
