This movie sucked - The Initiation (1984) Discussion

One of the best slashers I've seen in a while. I actually liked the ending of this better than the twist in "Happy Birthday to Me".

I just watched this on my laptop, with headphones on, in complete darkness in a hotel room while my husband is asleep a couple of feet away. And I am STILL creeped out as hell. The department store was such an amazing setting for this movie. I loved all of the characters and I really liked their development throughout the film (except for Heidi, who was my favorite and ended up being left grading Peter's papers for eternity. Sadness.). I did NOT see the twist coming and it shocked me. Really great movie, I gave it a 7/10.

I agree with you, it was more believable for me that an evil twin was doing the killing then someone with a mask, no mask that good exists

Me too. In HBTM, the twin storyline was quite random, and you felt the writers just put it in for the sake of a surprise ending.

Here, there were clues pointing towards this, and it made sense in context of the film.

This thread sucked.

Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.

I like it too, but it took me a while to warm up to it. The first 50 minutes are honestly just ok, but it gets really good once when they get into that department store/mall. There's a few solid creepy scenes too.
