Detention (2011)
7/10
See this. Don't think and SEE this.

I feel like this film needs to be understood and seen for what it is.

It is one of the craziest horror comedies out there, crazy to the point that I, more than once, asked myself: What am I even watching?

The only point of focus, at least for me, is that it could have been a GREAT film, if only they had chosen a less crazy way to evolve the story. I really think so and I am concerned, because I hate seeing a film with potential not fully expressing it.

Yes, it could have been great, because he characters are damn good but not very well developed, mostly because of the length of the film, I guess, very short.

Shanley Caswell and Josh Hutcherson do a great job, but still, I was left a bit "empty" at the end, because of the wasted potential of their development.

The horror and gore are not over the top. Most sequences are more gross than gory, but I liked the choices, in this case.

Anyways, go see for yourself wihout being too judgemental: this movie is crazy and completely original, in its own mad way.
