User Reviews

disappointed in HBO

I have a few comments about this film; First, I myself am in a fraternity and what is depicted by this film is not the norm, at least where I go to school. However, the hazing that the pledges (and at one point the filmmakers) have to go through is pretty chilling. I should have been able to have seen this on HBO, but instead I had to go to a film festival just to see it. I'm very disappointed that just because of potential legal problems HBO shelved this movie, one of the better documentaries that I've seen in recent years.
