Founded in 2006, Wild Eye Releasing has carved out a name as a driving force in low-budget, underground, and outsider cinema, earning a cult following among filmmakers and fans alike. Wild Eye champions horror, action, sci-fi, exploitation, arthouse, documentaries, and vintage gems from across the globe, delivering them worldwide via home video, digital and theatrical avenues. We also produce our own in-house features and mockbusters like the fan-favorites Cocaine Shark, Amityville in Space and the Ouija Shark and Jurassic Shark series, while proudly distributing VHS era classics such as Splatter Farm, Zombie Bloodbath, Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell and The Necro Files via our sister imprint, Visual Vengeance.

A co-ed group of college pledges are sent to a crumbling mansion for initiation, but the night turns deadly when a deranged professor (Brad Dourif) begins killing them one by one from beyond the grave. Trapped inside, they must uncover his motive—and the possible traitor in their ranks.

Blending slasher tropes with supernatural overtones and satire, The Hazing delivers kinetic early-2000s indie energy with a cast packed full of cult favorites and practical effect set-pieces. What begins as a typical frat-house prank flick quickly mutates into a direct-to-video classic featuring relentless action, humor and carnage driven by inventive and grotesque effects and an over-the-top villainous performance from horror icon Brad Dourif.

From director Rolfe Kanefsky, the prolific cult filmmaker known for mixing comedy and horror sensibilities into fast-paced, offbeat genre gems (There's Nothing Out There, Nightmare Man, The Black Room), The Hazing celebrates its first time ever on Blu-ray and features over 10 hours of new and archival bonus material, including a never-before seen alternate version of the film.

Reviews

Weak Film, Decent Nudity

"A campy, low-budget film trying to follow in the footsteps of The Evil Dead. The characters are thinly written horror stereotypes, and the plot is predictable. Something is up with the stereo track mix as it sounds very hollow. Slip art looks really nice."

Noel H. (2/5)

Fun

"I'd never seen this before, but reviews online were kind. Thankfully the reviews were spot-on, as this is a pretty fun movie. It's not a slasher movie as such, given all the supernatural stuff, but it's very entertaining all the same. The women in this film are absolutely gorgeous, so that always helps. There are plenty of practical effects and it's a decent looking film. Loaded with extras and it comes with a nice slipcover too (if you can find one. . . it's OOP). Recommended!"

Sam N. (4/5)

Yes!

"So happy this one finally made It to blu ray. I’ve always loved this movie. It’s a really fun night of the demons esque knock off. The three leads are great and are a ton of fun to watch. Brad Dourif is awesome as usual."

Nick M. (4/5)

So much fun

"I can find these sorts of movies very “hit or miss”, but this one had such charm. Loved it. Awesome 2000s vibes, and it’s legitimately funny too"

Chris T. (5/5)

Awesome B Horror

"Fun little movie. Great release from VS with nice packaging and lots of special features"

Arthur C. (5/5)

The Hazing

"Rolfe Kanefsky’s such an underrated genre director. His horror films always have good pacing, solid casts, and are just fun to watch. Love the slip; love the film."

Barb M. (3/5)

The Hazing

"I apparently have to own every film with Brad Dourif in it. And honestly this goobery little movie is a ton of fun. If you love stuff like Night of the Demons, you'll love this, too. And this release is absolutely awesome."

Sally F. (5/5)

Fun movie

"Pretty good horror comedy. A lot of extra features too."

Matthew G. (4/5)

Early 00's Goodness

"Absolutely love this early 00's horror flick. This release looks fantastic and the slipcover is great as always. Give us more early/mid 00's horror releases!"

Robin M. (5/5)

Just ok

"I had never seen this one so was a blind buy. It wasn't horrible, kinda a knock off Evil Dead. One thing I noticed is I am fairly certain they used AI upscaling or image enhancement which was jarring at times. Not sure it's worthy of a purchase."

Casey K. (3/5)
