TOMATOMETER
Total Count: 28
Rating: 2/5 -- The kills get boring very quickly; I've seen cheese-grater injuries that were more grisly. Full Review
Guardian
May 18, 2021
Rating: 2/5 -- The cinematography is pretty decent but, aligned with a story that looks like it's been written and directed by those who have seen a couple of '80s slashers and thought they could easily pull it off, it doesn't make up for the shortfalls elsewhere. Full Review
Starburst
May 20, 2021
Rating: 2/5 -- Even when the killings reach their crescendo, there is a notable lack of true terror, due mostly to the fact that most characters lack the depth to warrant much audience concern for whether they live or die. Full Review
Austin Chronicle
May 6, 2021
This is better than an average hack-and-slash, thinking about more than just blood and gore -- although there is plenty of blood and gore. Full Review
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
May 12, 2021
Rating: 6/10 -- The first half of Initiation is competent and well-done. Unfortunately, the slasher elements don't gel well with the narrative that was built up, so the end result is quite the mixed bag. Full Review
Cultured Vultures
May 28, 2021
Rating: 10/10 -- While it's not hard to guess all that Initiation has in store, the writers ably ensure that each component complements the rest in a truly invigorating fashion. Full Review
Film Threat
May 25, 2021
Rating: A- -- A unique indie horror-thriller, one with an unprecedented sense of maturity in its filmmaking and thematic aims. Full Review

Product Description:

Whiton University's supposedly fun pledge week takes a sinister turn when a star athlete is found impaled in his dormitory, dead. The carefree partying immediately halts as a chain of social media messages spread throughout the student population, seemingly marking the next targets of a brutal murder. Students and the police must now race against time to discover the dark secrets the school holds, as well as decipher the horrifying meaning of the ominous exclamation point the victims receive. Directed by John Berardo.
