The Hazing Secret

Stupid movie . Wasting time , how this director can be a director ?

Smart college student Megan Harris (Shenae Grimes-Beech) and her sorority sisters haze the new pledge by locking her in a coffin. Megan tries to stop it but it's too late. It's been 5 years and she is still haunted by the deadly incident. She wakes up every morning with the same nightmare and the lost of her memories. She makes a recording every night to remind herself for the next day. There is an upcoming Greek reunion.

The twist is obvious right from the start within the first 15 minutes. The mystery has only one possible logical solution ever. There is no other way to complete the circle. The characters are too stupid to figure it out. None of twists and turns matter because the final solution is never in doubt. At its core, this is a bad mystery.

The story of a female having to play videos to herself because of a short term memory issue seems to resonate a lot with a 2004 film (50 first dates), add some subpar acting and a casting that just really missed the nail on the head and you have this telefilm.

The male playing the psychiatrist just didn't look the part, feel the part and delivered lines as if he were reading an instruction manual.

The main role was decent but I wouldn't be adding this to her acting reel if I were her. The continuous whining and pity party gets old really fast.

Overall, 3 starts for a 3 star production.

While the theme of hazing is extremely serious and problematic in the college environment, this movie missed the entire mark. They really had an opportunity to take the subject matter and expose it in a meaningful way. Instead, this movie was unbearable to watch. I've seen high school plays that had better acting than this movie. The plot was jumbled and some of the characters were not well casted. It was worse than a bad B movie! Watching the movie you lose brain cells because it's that much of an insult on the intelligence. Don't waste your time... I turned it off before it could finish! Glad it was on cable and I could just turn the channel.

Shenae Grimes did a superb job in this movie showing her emotions. I especially liked it when she became so frustrated that she shouted out, "Why is this happening to me?"
