Initiation (2014) really leans into that claustrophobic, almost oppressive atmosphere of the library setting. The two main characters draw the audience in with their palpable tension, testing the friendship of those around them as they explore themes of belonging and trust. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, which builds a sense of dread that creeps up on you. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, giving a rawness to the horror that feels grounded. Performances are solid, with each character bringing their own flavor to the mix—there’s a real sense of desperation and fear as they confront not just the library's secrets but their own insecurities. It’s definitely not your typical college horror flick, and that’s what makes it stand out.
