“Pledges” (*1/2 out of four) was a godly awful horror show about six none-too-bright college students (Arthur Davis, Tim Drier, Natassia Halabi, and others) who take part in a hazing ritual and are tied up and blindfolded in the middle of the woods where they are killed off one-by-one by an evil spirit and force who probably watched one too many showings of “The Blair Witch Project”. Result is so by-the-numbers and routine that you almost expect numbers to be coming out at the screen at you but not such luck. A few gory kills and special effects are all this time-waster has to recommend it.
