The Initiation (1984)

In the heart of the cinematic thriller, The Initiation, Daphne Zuniga shines as Kelly Fairchild, a college freshman haunted by relentless nightmares of a man aflame. Her life takes a sinister turn when she becomes a pledge to the Delta Ro Kai sorority, a group notorious for their daring initiation pranks. Kelly's initiation night thrusts her into a living nightmare when she and her pledge sisters are compelled to orchestrate a covert nighttime infiltration into her father's department store. However, the store conceals more than just merchandise as the girls discover, to their horror, that once entered unlawfully, there is no way out. This seemingly innocuous initiation prank morphs into a chilling game of survival as a faceless madman emerges from the shadows, hell-bent on eliminating the terrified sorority pledges one by one. Simultaneously, Kelly seeks the guidance of an enigmatic assistant professor, hoping to unravel the knots of her fiery nightmares. But as the night unfolds, it becomes clear that the line between her dreams and reality is blurring, and the burning man from her nightmares may be far more real and dangerous than she ever imagined. The Initiation expertly intertwines the threads of terror and mystery, leading the audience on a chilling journey that explores the labyrinth of the subconscious and the hidden corners of a seemingly safe space turned deathtrap.
