“Initiation” (** out of four) was a hollow horror thriller about a college university which is under siege from a serial killer while the students (Froy Gutierrez, Patrick R. Walker, and others) are all but tripping over the bodies and a hard-nosed detective (Yancy Butler) and the dean of the university (Lochlyn Munro) try to unravel everything. Not the worst of this genre but too routine and formulaic to really have any impact and liberally rips off both “Scream 2” and “Urban Legend.” Munro’s casting is ironic since he played the berserk roommate in “Dead Man On Campus.” Filmed in only 16 days.
