In a Halloween night, five students participates of a scavenger hunt trying to join the sorority Sigma Si and Delta Pi. They are divided in two groups, and one of them has to steal an ancient book of magic from their weird Professor Kapps. Doug Leary and Marsha Glazer break in the professor's house while he is performing a satanic ritual with a student he has just sacrificed, and Kapps attack the students, but accidentally is impaled by a spear. Marsha and Doug leaves the house and brings his staff and his book of incantation to destroy the evidences and drive to an abandoned house, where the two groups have to stay until the next morning. Meanwhile, two seniors students from the frat house have prepared pranks in the house to scare the sorority pledges. But the evil spirit of Professor Kapps possesses Doug, slashing the group of students that have to fight to survive.
Rating:3/10
The Hazing really didn't do a lot for me. It was supposed to be an homage to the eighties horror movies. So if you mean really bad acting, bad stories, some nudity and a villian having to come up with bad puns and one liners, hey this might be for you. I shouldn't say that because I normally love eighties horror flicks. But I couldn't get into this. Brad Dourif was pretty good as he brought a hard intesnity to his character. The special effects were pretty bloody and were gory. I also got a couple of chuckles out of it, as it was kind of funny. What was really memorable was the costumes of the female leads, rather than their acting ability. The male lead was so annoying, I was hoping he would get hit more. Another problem with the movie is that you are not sure if it is just satire, a straight out horror movie or just a rip off. The ending was something else I didn't care for either. Oh well let's leave the doors open I guess.
