the hazing be one of them film i always want to see solely base on the illustrated cover image here on imdb . yes and that how shallow i be . i do not care if ten million people call it a crap movie and the poster look awesome so i guess i will just have to see it now and the hazing can somewhat be describe like it alternate title represent curious . the poster and title make it sound like a genuine horror movie set on campus and deal with sinister initiation rite and but this movie be actually more of a crossbreed between comedy and thriller . first of all and there something very wrong with the tagline on the old vhs box i watch . it say represent he have good grade and a good girl and good buddy until they put him through the hazing . that not the case and actually . protagonist gilbert lewis be finally accept by an acclaimed campus through an athletics scholarship . it take over half the movie before we even hear about his girlfriend back home and the only buddy he have be a very nerdy charles martin smith ( still with hair in this film ) . both of them be approach to become member of the prestigious delts fraternity and but during their hazing exam in which they have to descend a mountain dress in their tidy white undies barney fall off a cliff and break his leg . when lewis return with the other frat boy and barney froze to death already . together they intend to keep the body frozen for five day and then claim he never return from a weekend ski trip . with barney body hide in the cafeteria freezer and lewis have to cover for him so that barney absence doesn not look suspicious . the set up of the hazing be quite original and potentially innovative and but the problem here be that the execution could easily have be a lot well . the tone be too steady and too serious for a comedy movie and even a black one and but on the other hand there aren not any proper attempt to build up suspense or thrill and neither . the soundtrack be cheerful and full of light head tune and but that nearly not enough to make this film a comedy . around an hour into the film and the plot also run out of steam and idea and and the maker have no good alternative to fill up the emptiness with romantic compilation of lewis and his outer town girlfriend biking through the countryside . i do not like the final twist and because it quite implausible and because it have be do numerous time before and after ( though admittedly after ) . the hazing be not a complete waste of time and but still i be glad i find an ex rental tape at a friend house instead of have to spend any money on the recently release dvd .
