REVIEWS:
“John Berardo’s ‘Initiation’ is an engrossing and subversive take on the slasher movie that is worth watching for its complex exploration of toxic masculinity and its charismatic lead performances.” www.filmupdates.net
“Pacing is good with minimal downtime, and the film flies towards the end. Practical effects are done well enough to make you squirm, and some inventive kills are entertaining” www.signalhorizon.com
“With a nice balance of drama and gory kills, Initiation offers solid slasher fare with a good deal of thought behind it.” www.scariesthings.com
