This Disgusting and Brutal 2018 Film About College Hazing Turns 'Jackass' Into a Horror Movie

The Jackass franchise is horrifying to those with a weak stomach, but it just about gets away with its crude content due to its comedic tone and emphasis on brotherhood and camaraderie. The thought of Jackass without the constant laughter evokes utter dread, yet Pledge is exactly that and is so much worse than you can imagine. It retains that element of raw masculinity, but there is no equality, as those issuing the tasks are placed on a high pedestal and create an atmosphere of exclusivity, intimidation, and fear.
