The Hazing Trailers

The Evil Dead meets Scream as an evil professor, through an ancient staff and a book of incantation, possesses the bodies of a group of fraterity and sorority pledges during a night of "hazing" activities in an abandoned mansion. When the students meet one grisly death after another, the survivors finally realize it's the professor who is possessing their friends and killing them all off. Now none of them trust each other-- is it their friends or puppets of the professor that they're hanging with? Somone better figure it out quick... or none of them will make it through the hellish night of The Hazing!

Like my title says: EVERYTHING a cheesy horror flick SHOULD be! I had GREAT FUN watching this movie. The set-up is believable enough. The actors all feel like actors, not a bunch of film students trying to act. No academy award performances, but no "so over the top you crinch" moments, either. The movie keeps a good sense of humor through-out. Plenty of blood (and to humorous levels at times). Effects are nicely done. Nector Rose as Delia is an absolute JOY - easily stealing the show (and there's a GREAT topless scene with her). Tiffany Shepis as Marsha spends most of the movie in Spandex - looking great for an actor described in her bio as "voluptuous." Best of all, after spending all that time tracing her curves through that skin-tight costume, the viewer is rewarded with a nice shot of her without the costume.This is the kind of movie that keeps me watching cheesy horror flicks!

An unexpected nice little surprise, this one. "Corpses" (2004) was the only movie I previously saw from director Rolfe Kanefsky. Even though it was a real low-budget horror-spoof, not so good on many levels, I still got a nice kick out of it. To my surprise "The Hazing" not only looks a lot better, but it's actually about three times better as a movie on all levels! Just mix together "Evil Dead" and the "Night Of The Demons" trilogy with a bit of sorority shenanigans, and you pretty much get "The Hazing". Less original than those movies perhaps, but still a fresh & spirited companion piece and one can certainly have as much fun with it. Oh, and for those who didn't know already, Tiffany Shepis really packs two extremely hot natural goodies. "The Hazing" is plain fun low budget horror entertainment. A bit of a party flick, really. The right stuff to warm & loosen up your audience on a movie night before proceeding to more serious stuff.

A group of college kids wish to join a sorority/fraternity, but must gather a list of items and hole up in the usual scary house where brutal murders took place. One of the items is this demonic book held in the house of a creepy professor named Kapps(Brad Dourif..an inspired choice if I might say so)who has taken up a hobby of collecting victims he murders. Well, as two of the students, Marsha & Doug(Tiffany Shpis & Philip Andrew)attempt to steal the book, Kapps catches them. In the act of trying to kill the two thieves, Marsha accidentally "horns" Kapps through the chest. As Kapps lies close to death in the hospital, the students converge on the creepy estate not knowing that Kapps' evil spirit would be allowed access to Doug's body when the idiot reads a passage from the book that will allow him to remain roaming on a balanced plain between life and death. Anyway, all this is set-up so that the demonic force can kill a bunch of college kids in various weird ways with the usual one-liners being tossed after each life is taken. One kid, in particular, gets his head chopped off by a detour sign thanks to Doug's possessor Kapps who seems to have an uncanny ability to work magic such as turning one girl into a mannequin(I kid you not). There's a gateway open in the basement and Kapps will need someone in there after his body dies. There is a septor with a skull that can be used as a weapon to defeat Kapps if used properly.A silly premise doesn't take itself at all seriously. The cast is here to poke fun at themselves(most play on their stereotypes such as the delicious Nectar Rose, dressed in a bunny outfit who seems to be bubble-headed, but it's all an act to bed a lust-interest), especially Parry Shen as a supposed nerd who has to correct others that he is not that stereotypical virginal video-game geek. Shepis and Rose both show their impressive cleavage and the film is rife with disgusting gore. Very reminiscent of NIGHT OF THE DEMONS.

I bought this movie on a whim at a local video store. It cost me roughly $3 and was actually worth my time. Although, this movie has no surprises it does still keep you interested all the way through.It is pledge week on campus and a group of pledges have to run around town causing all sorts of mischief dressed in various costumes (Halloween). But when 2 of the pledges steal an ancient book from a crazy professor (Brad Dourif) all hell brakes loose. They accidentally impale the professor and stay the night in a rumored haunted house. This is where the rest of the movie takes place.Brad Dourif is hysterical in this movie. He puts on a ridiculous British accent and actually plays his part quite well. The rest of the actors do a fairly decent job also. This movie obviously gained many ideas from classic horror films and they even have a quick frame picture of Bruce Campbell with his named signed. The gore in the movie was fairly decent, but unfortunately, the cover of the movie never seems to happen. I kept expecting to see the girl in the bunny outfit go crazy with a chainsaw, but it never happened. Oh well... Still, this was a fun, campy little movie and I give it a 7/10.
