I stumbled upon this film while looking for a fun frat movie like animal house or Van Wilder. What I found was far from those two movies but I don't regret the watch. The movie is a very interesting look into topics such as brotherhood, abuse, and how much a person can take. The movie does a good job of demofying fraternities hazing traditions, but also shows the value of brotherhood all be it in kind of a twisted way. One film you can compare this to is GOAT. Both tackle the same subject matter and truly encapsulate you in the film. This movie is a little less dreary than Goat but in my opinion definitely the more twisted. As a person that's experienced fraternity hazing first hand I can tell you that it can be a vicious cycle. Stuff that you will see in this movie does happen at schools all over the country, and it will keep happening. That cycle I talked about has a chain that will never break. It is a sad reality but it is the true. Personally my 4 years in my frat were the best of my life, but I do have to say that not everyone is cut out for it. I don't mean people who aren't big partiers, or legacies, or anything like that. Being in a frat means you have 100 or more brothers for the rest of your life, but some people don't need that. I will wrap up by saying this. I loved my time in the fraternity and wouldn't trade it in for the world, but if you find yourself in a hazing situation and you think you're going to be seriously hurt in some cases even killed just remember that your life is not worth some "playful hazing". A fraternity always wants they're pledges alive when they are initiated.
