Detention
Directed by Joseph Kahn
In Joseph Kahn's inventive teen horror-comedy, the local students of Grizzly Lake must survive their final year of high school. Standing in their way is Cinderhella, a slasher-movie killer who has seemingly come to life and is preying on the school’s student body. As the clock ticks and the bodies pile up, the likely suspects are embroiled in a race against time to stop Cinderhella and ultimately save the world… if only they can get out of detention.
A downtrodden 17-year-old girl is sent to detention where she must survive a slasher film killer and save the world in time for prom.
Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Shanley Caswell, Spencer Locke, Dane Cook

The is a great and bonkers horror/sci-fi/comedy. I was surprised when I rewatched it that the exceptionally confusing timeline mostly (mostly) actually plays fare. The energy is insane, and for a movie that is riffing on teen comedies, slashers, teen comedies that are about slashers, all with a little bit of ironic distance, it treats its characters with a lot of compassion. Which is good, because every horror fan I've known spent high school far closer to being Riley than being the nonchalantly cool Clapton (and even he gets treated fairly). Even the bully gets a sympathetic - but deeply absurd - evil villain origin story.
Overall very enjoyable and funny.I Couldn’t believe the cast they had for this type of movie plus Organic AND Dumbfouded from KOTD were in it!!!I recommend this to anyone who likes horror and comedy.
I was very disappointed 2m
I'm not really sure what I just watched, but it was a hilarious trip from start to end.
What did I just watch? There is not enough weed and acid in the world, but there were a couple of good jokes, and overall the story is coherent.
