Detention Review and Other Cheese to match it..



Well, first I have to say is there is a lot going on in this movie.. At first glace you might chalk it up as another "Scream", or teenie horror flick, but that is totally not the case with this movie. Right from the beginning you can see that there is something different about this movie, a kind of "Scott Pilgram vs The World" feel. The basic plot outline provided by IMDB goes like this :
As a killer named Cinderhella stalks the student body at the high school in Grizzly Lake, a group of co-eds band together to survive while they're all serving detention.




This description doesn't even scratch the surface of this strange, quirky comedy-horror. With funny 80s and 90s references and a bizarre story twist, I found myself pleasantly surprised and entertained. Throughout the movie I was saying " Wtf, lol "... and felt satisfied with the level of gore and mayham. I wish I could say more about this movie but as a return reader to my blog, you may notice I am a man of few words, and kind of suck at reviewing haha...I would recommend this movie to fans of such films as the fore mentioned and other strange horror flicks like this incomplete list:

TERRORVISION (1986) 


NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (1986)


FEAST (2006)


TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL (2010)


DEAD ALIVE aka BRAIN DEAD (1992)

Detention

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1701990/


It's another year at Grizzly Lake High School for Riley (Shanley Caswell), a clever but cynical social outcast who is the unrequited love object of Sander (Aaron David Johnson), who is even less popular and more sexually frustrated than she is. Meanwhile, ironically named hipster Clapton (Josh Hutcherson) is head over heels for Ione (Spencer Locke), a beautiful but self-absorbed cheerleader. All four are waiting out their final year of high school, but it's anyone's guess if they'll ever see graduation, as a serial killer known as Cinderhella is on the loose and preying on Grizzly Lake's student body. The principal (Dane Cook) is certain Cinderhella is a disgruntled student and figures he can keep the prom from turning into a bloodbath by putting the likely suspects in all-day detention on the day of the big dance.
