InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

chefy68 While I dig the craptastic horror genre for being entertaining, this movie does nothing. It makes no sense, has horrible special effects, terrible acting, crappy wardrobe, and some of the worst editing I have ever seen.The first scene showing the nerd being flamed in an incinerator was just plain bad, and the effects never get better. From the fake lightning to the lighting from nowhere when there is no power in the school screams crap.Editing... quite early on the scene in the basement with the 2 maintenance guys, over the scene, the old guy puts on his gloves like 3 times during the conversation. Things like this occur all the way to the end when the last survivors are outside after a nights total downpour and the ground is totally dry.David Carradine's coat he wears fits him like something a homeless man would wear because it's all he could find in a garbage can, and I won't go into his hair.The story itself makes no sense, and jumps from theory to theory with nothing tying anything to anything.Bottom line, I like bad movies at times. This one was the worst thing I have seen, a complete waste of time. How they had a 2M budget is beyond me. Must have gone towards blow and hookers for the guy who made it... Sad piece of wasted film.

Rodolphe Fleury I watched this really crap film cos I thought I was watching Detention (2011), quickly I realized it was another film and I carry on watching cos I like bad movies and I wanted to know how worse it could get and how it ended). I should have fall asleep or listen to chalk on a blackboard instead.I mean like Z and B movies, I like bad movies (like the prom ball zombie film), I like trashy films, I like John Waters, Twilight, even Batman and Robin, but this is not even good bad, it's just a waste of time, the special effects are terrible, the acting is not bad enough to be funny. It's neither scary or gory, there's some action and screaming that's it.David Carradine does not have any purpose here, the story is confusing only because it does not make any sense (badly constructed plot: there's a ghost but the mum is also killing, there's a psychopath but is he really being manipulated by the ghost of Gabriel?), the characters are badly written (the psychopath, wtf), you can believe a second in the character of Gabriel's mother. This is a completely waste of time, I'd rather watch Undefeatable a trillion time than go through Detention again.

luvmycat What a cheap-looking, stupid film. I thought it was made in the late 70s/early 80s, from the look of it, and I don't mean it as a compliment. I was surprised and disgusted finding out afterwards that this film was made in 2008 for 2 Mio and couldn't come up with anything better. They saved enough money on the actors and effects, so where has all the dough gone? D. Carradine, what hast thou done? I can't believe I thought after watching this "jeeez, Birdemic was more entertaining". That says everything.Detention doesn't come near to be honored with the word "trash", nor is it "so bad it's good". It's not even a homage to the 70s/80s teen slashers.Sorry I can't be bothered to detail the content. I'm too angry. And my fellow reviewers have already done a good job on this.Detention bored me to tears but also annoyed me. Stupidity throughout - script, dialog, everything. I expect characters in these kind of flicks to be acting "stupid" (you know, the usual in these type of films - like saying hello who's there in a dark lonely room, opening a door you know better you shouldn't, etc.) but not so retarded. I actually got up inbetween to wash the dishes while watching so my life time wasn't wasted completely.I'm happy it was a cheap rental. I only made it till the end so I could live to tell. If you want to get rid of a "friend", recommend him/her this film. Go and watch Dance of the Dead, which also covers the cliché teens (okay, they're slashed by Zombies and not a ghost). That film is silly, but funny and dimensions better in so many ways than Detention.

maciejmaciejewski1980 If there was "zero" - i'd give it. Definitely I will remember it as one of the worst I've ever seen. Very simple plot made by mixing others. In one sentence: "Ghost of accidentally killed boy comes back after 30 years and revenges..." - I was excited by such plots when I was 8 or 10 maybe - and really there's nothing else: no sense, no reflections, no aim. In 2010 one can expect better special effects than shaking heads and a lot of darkness to cover imperfections. Scary movie? - not in any possible way, "scooby doo" is more scary. This movie should be an example what to do to avoid making a serious faux pas in directory and scenario.
