Take a horror slasher like "Scream", 80's comedy like "The Breakfast Club", add in some Dane Cook, and you get "Detention".
From the mind of music video director Joseph Kahn, comes "Detention". An indie teen horror comedy where senior students of Grizzly High not only have to watch their grades, but watch their backs too! A slasher movie killer has come to life, to take these teens down one by one, and its up to students Josh Hutcherson as "Clapton Davis" and Shanley Caswell as "Riley Jones", to put a stop to him!
Detention pokes fun at our favorite slashers, but also brings in some of our close to heart 80's comedies.
Detention is an official selection for SXWS Film Festival and will be in theaters in later 2011.
Now, usually I'm not into this kind of film (I've already seen "Scary Movie") but this looks like its adding something different to the table. Sort of like a Smart "Scary Movie".
What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
This looks.....interesting
ReplyDeletehaha I think so. Though this kind of film has been done before, I think this could bring in something new and fun.
ReplyDeleteWe'll just have to wait and see!
whats Joseph Kahn done previously?
ReplyDeleteJoseph is is a music video director (which is how lots of great directors get their start), so this is his first feature film.
ReplyDeleteHes done music videos for bands like Blink 182 and singers like Brittany Spears.
