TV Guide Magazine
Unfortunately, Flicker wasn't able to rise above the limitations of his microbudget, and his message is compromised by student-film production values and performances that range from adequate to pretty awful. - 38
New York Daily News
Though Flicker based the story on real events, the execution is so melodramatic that none of it feels remotely true. - 31
Mr. Showbiz
An earnest but fatally amateurish and stereotypical melodrama about fraternity hazing. - 25
New York Post
Atrociously written. - 10
The New York Times
Suffers from clumsy exposition and uneven acting, except in the case of Eddie T. Robinson. - 0
Village Voice
So seamlessly and comprehensively dreadful that its very existence (let alone its appearance in theaters) beggars belief.
