The October Horror Movie Challenge - Detention of The Dead

I'm off to a slow start this year I the horror film watching department but here is a review of my first film.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rules:

1) You cannot watch any horror films you have seen before.

2) You lose points if you watch something you have seen before (certain circumstances are acceptable - viewing a film you have been invited to watch as a social occasion).

3) You have to watch the whole film or it doesn't count, get that cushion ready to hide behind if you need to.

4) You have to review each film giving an honest answer about what you thought. You can rate them anyway you want, if your blog/site/social media has its own rating system feel free to use it.

 

Point System:

You get a point for each film you watch that you haven't seen before and lose them if you watch one you have.

1 Film = 1 Point

You receive a different plus points for watching certain horror genres and subgenres of horror. These points were randomised:

Zombie = 5

Monster = 4

Torture = 2

Comedy = 2

Sci-Fi = 5

Gothic =6

Romance = 2

Action = 3

Body = 4

      Psychological = 6

Slasher = 1

Ghosts = 3

Detention of The Dead

A group of oddball high school students find themselves trapped in detention with their classmates having turned into a horde of Zombies. - IMDB 

Detention Of The Dead (2012)


Holy Breakfast Club Batman!

Now this film really does follow most of the rules of horror and has the usual selection of people you get in American High Schooler Movies. There are some funny bits in this movie that I can't deny are still few and far between, of course there was one moment I absolutely loved because of how shonky it was. 


This movie is quite reference heavy and their are nods certain Horror legends, older zombie classics and a few Rocky Horror references. This helps to make the movie more enjoyable for me and I would watch it again.




I give this film 3 1/2 out of 5 Blood Splatters
