Pledge Night

This movie is definitely a case of its so bad its good. Coming into this film I expected it to be your stereotypical movie about frats with hazing etc etc and some humor mixed in. However, I was dead wrong, as this film is full of total cheese. Even the one liners from "Sid" were hilarious, such as "This is for Spiro Agnew" when he kills someone. The concept of a hippie monster has to be one of the most original out there and I commend the filmmakers for it. I noticed to make the film genuine they even filmed it at a frat house in Rutgers. For the budget this film was under I have to give the film company much respect. Overall, definite recommendation if you are a college student, but it might not be for everyone. 6/10

I had the misfortune of watching PLEDGE NIGHT on video. It's such a terrible movie that it makes BLOODSUCKING FREAKS look like MASTERPIECE THEATRE. The entire cast was uniformly homely. They should all have worn paper bags over their anonymous heads. There are good bad movies, like PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE which is entertaining despite its total ineptitude, and then there are the really bad movies, which are just terrible and not entertaining for one second in their absolute awfulness. They are the worst of the worst, and PLEDGE NIGHT easily makes it in my top ten list of the worst of the worst films. Putrid junk.

Six young men pledge Phi Upsilon Nu (Phi U for short). During their hell/pledge week, a demonic form of a pledge from the past (Joey Belladonna -Anthrax) goes on a killing spree. The film was "Roger Corman light." The jokes and gags didn't work outside of a juvenile level. Guide: Don't recall any swearing. Ample nudity (Shannon McMahon, Cecelia Wilde, Suzanne Dean, Karyn Lee, Cassandra Delaney, Ronna Larsen)

As a silly frat boy prank Young Sid is boiled in a tub of acid.Years later he returns to wreak havoc on the new generation of brothers in his old fraternity.Young Sid is played by Joey Belladonna,the vocalist of thrash metal band Anthrax.He later appears as Acid Sid,an undead pledge who died many years ago in the same house."Pledge Night" is a wonderfully silly and vastly enjoyable fraternity slasher with some grotesque death scenes and plenty of nudity.The story doesn't make a lot of sense and there are some absurd moments of blatant stupidity.If you like trashy heavy metal related slasher flicks like "Rocktober Blood" or "Terror On Tour" give "Pledge Night" a chance.7 cherry bombs out of 10.My favourite kill scenes:a boy has a cherry bomb shoved up his ass and a hand comes up out of a toilet to kill another sorry loser.
