CommentsXp Best movie ever!

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

slayrrr666 "The Brotherhood" is a decent enough entry that doesn't have too many flaws.**SPOILERS**During Pledge Week at Drake University, Dan Myerson, (Josh Hammond) meets with his new roommate Chris Chandler, (Sam Page) while a strange murder rocks the whole campus. After a few days on campus, he is recruited by Devon Eisley, (Bradley Stryker) to join his brothers in his fraternities, and when Megan, (Elizabeth Bruderman) offers him the opportunity to meet them during a party, he decides to go along and meet up with him. When they come back from the party, they soon discover that he's been acting strangely, and when he announces his intention of joining the fraternity, they discover that the organization is a group of supernatural beings that is intended on prolonging their longevity by sucking the blood of others, and race to stop him before he becomes a full member of the group.The Good News: There was some good stuff in this one when it counted on it. There's a really great ability of the film to be able to make sure that the guys in this film are presented more in a sexual light than the women are. There's plenty of useless, throwaway scenes of the men in here running around topless or in their underwear, which is usually the type of tactic that is reserved for women in these films, and there's some good stuff to go around for this. The finale with all men in here performing that tactic makes it really stand-out, and the other scenes of them running around the campus like that only reinforce this view even more. There's also the fact that the film's manages to make the mystery about what's happening feel really good and worrisome, which is normally one way or the other. Here, it takes a while to finally catch on, which results in many instances of there being something really weird happening that doesn't have much sense for it. The unusual amount of time that this uses for these methods is really good, making them more important than they really are and has some really nice tactics to do so. There's also the film's really fun climax, which is really great. There's a fun, energetic and gory brawl with the guys, the perfect resolution to the mysteries and a great feeling of excitement when it's all going on. It's one of the best things about the film, along with the film's lone sex scene, which is a little erotic and definitely a little out-there but still fun and enjoyable. That alone sums up the film as a whole.The Bad News: This one did have a few problems with it. The main one is that there's very little action in this one. Most of the film has them running around the campus talking about what's going on with them and why they want him in the club, which makes for a boring beginning that doesn't have a whole lot worthwhile about it. The fact that there's a ton of scenes that also go on a lot longer than they should've makes for this being another factor about that. The rescue from the fraternity rivals, the first date in the coffee house and most importantly the two guys psyching themselves up to go to the party, which lasts for a near-eternity, all help make this one a little more harder to get through. There's also the film's almost complete-dryness that the film exhibits. The couple kills in here are really dry, which is something that needs to be overcome. It needed a little more blood in this to be able to showcase how brutal they were, which is another factor as they needed to be bunched up a little as well. The last flaw to this is the uncomfortableness some might have with the film's frank portrayal of men as sexual objects. Rather than doing this for women, it does the same tactic for men, and because it's so different than the norm, it can be something that is new and a little off-putting for some, even though it's not a complete detriment and doesn't hurt the film at all like the others do.The Final Verdict: A rather entertaining entry that is actually a lot better than expected if only hurt by a few flaws, this one is watchable at the least. Give it a shot if you're into the general style or are in the mood for a more homosexual experience, while those who can't get around that factor are urged to seek caution.Rated R: Violence, Language and a mild sex scene

PeterKurten911 I stepped into the story with a third of the running time passed & seemingly nothing vital to the story had yet occurred. A 30 second flashback near the end wrapped the missing part up nicely. Any brief outline wraps up the entire movie as well, for that matter. The president of a vampiric college fraternity needs to occupy a new body every century or he'll die as will his brethren. His victim manages to sabotage the plan in the final 15 minutes of the movie. The end. I don't want to examine the illogicalities of the present vampire mythology; you can't enjoy a vampire movie without accepting that part of the story. However, there's plenty left to pick out of this corpse. The bright illumination & the sets somehow reminded me of 1990's video erotica, the cast consisted of annoying Baywatch stereotypes with the acting talent of wooden dolls & every opportunity to insert some flesh or gore into the pelicule (classic lifesavers for crummy B-movies) was thoroughly waisted. Overall the feeling occupies the middle ground between gay horror-erotica & the Worst of Buffy. This could've been a film loaded with evil charisma, Freudian subtlety & psychological confusion from the part of the victim ...plus some nudity & blood where fit. I've never seen THE LOST BOYS but no doubt it's a superior treatment of the same theme. As a final remark, the plot served one so-called twist: the female sidekick is a traitor. She happened to be the one out of 3 "heroes" to carry an invitation to the Brotherhood's party where the first contacts are established, wasn't that a hint ?

Steve OK, so i was told to watch this movie cause it has lots of hot guys in their underwear. This is a bit misleading. There are a few hot guys...but rarely are they in their underwear. actually, they are only in their underwear in one scene and this hottest of them all (in my opinion) is already dead. Boo boo boo. They is a slight hint at homoeroticism, but they don't follow through. it's better to just rent some gay porn. There is also a very poor story line, which kinda doesn't make sense. i would be able to look past the crappy story line if there were more hot guys in their underwear. Does anyone know if Brotherhood II or II is any better?

claire_dolman I brought this film on a lazy Sunday morning from the cheapo discount video shop in our city centre. I watched it in slack-jawed amazement that very day and have spent the last 2 years trying to get everyone in the West Midlands to watch it also. Like many other people on this page I can hardly begin to say how God-awful this film is. It is so bad the best thing to do with it is to gather about a dozen of your most brain-dead, childish or drug addeled friends round and have a crap-film-and-chicken-pot-noodle-party. The only person who has anything positive to say about this film is my 17 year old sister, who when asked said 'it wasn't that bad'. She was roundly mocked. she watches channel 5 though and her favorite films include Andre the Seal and Fly Away Home. In English schools, if you forget your sports kit you are made to do P.E in your pants and socks. I was surprised to discover that diabolic vampire rituals are conducted in the same attire. Also how come only the head vampire gets to wear black pants while all his minions have to wear white? Are black pants more evil than undergarments of any other colour? How can a bunch of evil and rock-hard scary vampires wear a frat pin that so much resembles a scent bottle on a necklace as favored by little girls who love Barbie and Polly Pocket? That Megan type is so obviously the niece of the executive producer.(see 'I've been watching you 2- Prom Night' for more shameless nepotism) If anyone out there wants to see a half decent vampire film buy 'Near Dark'
