Pledge Night (1990)

As you probably know, the slasher subgenre was distinctly on the 'outs' when "Pledge Night" came out and for good reason - just watch this one. It's a boring, cheapass pile of redundancy that luckily acquired the rights to some of Anthrax's music, which is it's only notable attribute. And I'm not an Anthrax fan.

A fraternity is putting some pledges through "hell week" but their hazing is eventually interrupted by the deformed spirit of a former hippie college kid who was killed when some 'brothers' accidentally submerged him in an acid bath during an initiation...

For starters, it takes well over half of the movie for anyone to get 'offed' and when the body count portion of the movie kicks in it doesn't get much better. From the looks of it, I saw a cut version, but I'm not entirely sure how accessible an uncut version currently is. Or IF it is. Either way, the movie still sucks. Way too much frat-boy bullshit and very little of anything else, aside from the massive pair of rotating tits of a haggard stripper and a fat, bug-eyed killer mongoloid with a hilarious cackle. In all, a forgettable post-slasher joint.
