A co-ed group of college pledges are sent to a crumbling mansion for initiation, but the night turns deadly when a deranged professor (Brad Dourif) begins killing them one by one from beyond the grave. Trapped inside, they must uncover his motive—and the possible traitor in their ranks.
Blending slasher tropes with supernatural overtones and satire, The Hazing delivers kinetic early-2000s indie energy with a cast packed full of cult favorites and practical effect set-pieces. What begins as a typical frat-house prank flick quickly mutates into a direct-to-video classic featuring relentless action, humor and carnage driven by inventive and grotesque effects and an over-the-top villainous performance from horror icon Brad Dourif.
From director Rolfe Kanefsky, the prolific cult filmmaker known for mixing comedy and horror sensibilities into fast-paced, offbeat genre gems (There's Nothing Out There, Nightmare Man, The Black Room), The Hazing celebrates its first time ever on Blu-ray and features over 10 hours of new and archival bonus material, including a never-before seen alternate version of the film.
