“Pledge” (*1/2 out of four) was a slapdash horror thriller about a group of none-too-bright college freshmen (Zachery Byrd, Phillip Andre Botello, Zack Weiner, and others) who pledge an exclusive fraternity but soon realize they have to endure a series of sadistic tests in order to belong. Evidently, though, none of these guys have watched any prior fraternity comedies or college horror movies because they all make the same continued bad mistakes. Both predictable and confusing and runs out of gas pretty quickly. Pledge to watch something else instead.
