 Horror flick? Um, no! Horrible flick more like it. December 7, 2008
Scott L. Michael (Hermitage, TN)
This movie was filmed well, and had half way decent actors, effects, and so forth. But, I thought it was very boring. If you are a true horror enthusiast like myself, don't waste your money or time. Honestly, even as a movie (outside of the horror realm) it wasn't that great. I'm not sure why all the good ratings. Maybe it's really not all that bad, but it's simply not my thing. I'm not sure, but this might have been a made for TV movie. That's kind of what it looked like. I hardly ever watch one of those and like it. Watch at your own risk!

Not the greatest movie but can't pass up anything with Summer Glau. The movie has a couple of interesting twists towards the end, but never really gets off the ground. The effects are okay but nothing astounding. The movie trys to be "The Craft" and "The Skulls" at the same time but comes off like an after school movie. There is a lot of familiar faces from tv shows but no one gives a great performance. It's a good popcorn movie you could show anyone, but don't expect any scares.
CHARMED meets MEAN GIRLS April 21, 2008

I loved Summer Glau in FIREFLY, SERENITY and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, so when I saw THE INITIATION OF SARAH on Netflix, I decided to give it a try. (You might say I have a girl crush on her, and you mightn't be wrong.)
The story centers around two competing covens of witches, both set up as rival sororities on the same college campus. The "good" coven is comprised of natural-born witches - those who derive their power from Mother Earth - while the "bad" coven must occasionally feed The Eternal Flame with the blood of a very powerful natural-born witch ("The One") in order to maintain their powers. Believing newly arrived freshman pledge Sarah (Mika Boorem) to be The One, both sororities try to lure her and her fraternal twin sister, Lindsey (Summer Glau) to their side in the battle between Good and Evil.
THE INITIATION OF SARAH is an entertaining enough flick; a pleasant piece of fluff for those nights when you'd rather sit down with a bowl of Soy Dream and zone out on the couch. Though it was made for TV - and ABC Family, at that - it's not as cheesy as you'd expect. Think MEAN GIRLS meets CHARMED, but not quite as satisfying as either.
Oh, and Jennifer Tilly rocks as the magi. Love me some Jennifer Tilly, too!
 Must see January 15, 2008

This is a must see movie, mainly because it stars Mika Boorem (Smile), but also because it is well-filmed, has a solid plot, and although it's by ABC family, it's not done in a cheesy Disney-like sort of way. It's a story about the supernatural that is realistic without being over the top.
A very entertaining flick! November 8, 2007

Not only was this flick very entertaining, but it also had a high level of suspense too. it starts out pretty shallow, but as the movie churns along, you start to see that some of these characters arent empty shells. At the very least, this flick is definitely worth a rent.
