Pledge

About This Movie

Pledge dives into the dark underbelly of fraternity hazing, where the atmosphere is thick with tension and a sense of foreboding. The pacing pulls you in, slowly building dread as the protagonist grapples with the consequences of his choice. It’s not just about the physical initiation rituals; there’s an emotional weight that amplifies the stakes. The practical effects deliver a visceral punch without relying on over-the-top CGI, making the horror feel grounded. Performances are raw and believable, capturing the desperation and fear of these young men caught in a cycle of peer pressure. It all culminates in a chilling commentary on loyalty and the price of belonging.

Pledge has been noted for its limited release, making physical copies somewhat scarce, especially in good condition. The film has a small but growing cult following among collectors interested in indie horror and fraternity themes. DVD copies can be found occasionally, but pristine editions are becoming harder to track down, which adds to its appeal for collectors who appreciate niche horror cinema.
