Detention (2011)

One of last years Frightfest' late screenings this fast paced, witty teen horror from Joseph Kahn definately needs the audience to be alert and on point! The humours comes thick and fast and the plot takes you through more strange and random turns than you can think off. In its simplest form it tells the story of a serial killer who starts bumping off tthe kids at Grizzly High... Our group of teens try and work out who the killer is on a Saturday Detention... Trust me though theres alot more to it than that! Great acting and script... Beautifully shot indie slasher. My critisms lie in it being too fast paced at times, not allowing for any real payoffs... The heavy graphics at the begining are slightly overcooked, but dont get me wrong its a great watch... Reminds me alittle of Donnie Darko. Repeat viewings will only help conquor the ellaborate and unconventional plot. Good fun though!
