1st Inaccuracy: It's Hell WEEK...not just one night.
2nd? Marketing this as a movie.
Pledge Night takes all night to get to the goods, sadly. Mostly, you'll see boring hazing. Not even the good kind: homoerotic hazing, though some borderlines that. The first solid half is just "safe" hazing rituals in a fraternity and then the mostly just hinted at killer starts spewing one-liners, but mostly asking who everyone is before offing them.
It's not ALL bad, but the acting's terrible, the premise underexplored and the killer laughable. I WILL give them credit for both making a well-shot movie (for the budget,) and for the gore effects. They were actually pretty darn good for this mostly boring horror.
Recommended for only diehard slasher fans of Freddy Krueger. I mean, if they want to see a cheap rip-off movie.

Final Thoughts: I keep a list of all new-to-me movies I've seen since about 2009. It's now 2021 and I don't see this listed. I swear I've seen this before, but doubt it was before 2009. If it was a mistake not including this, I won't be making that again.
