Pledge (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 11th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Not enough to feel like Pledge is worth a recommendation but still sufficient to admit I will admit that even with all my reservations there’s at least a couple of positives to be found here. Whether that is enough for a genre fanatic to splurge on a matinee ticket or pay the price of a VOD download I do not know, this bloody initiation into collegiate terror a purposefully exploitive mixed bag to say the least.

by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 11th, 2019 - Movie Reviews
