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.
Why it matters
A teen slacker comedy slams headfirst into the zombie outbreak, mixing high school archetypes with undead chaos in a cult-flavored grindhouse setting.
- Sharp-witted dialogue and quirky performances lean into the high school clique stereotypes with a knowing wink.
- Practical gore effects bring the zombie carnage to life without drowning the story in blood buckets.
- Perfect for fans of genre mashups like *Shaun of the Dead* and *The Faculty* who crave humor with their horror.
- Captures the early 2010s indie horror spirit before streaming homogenized the teen-zombie subgenre.
