Detention
返校
In the 1960s, two classmates go looking for their missing friends and teachers, all of whom took part in an illegal book club, only to come face to face with ghosts and deformed monsters that have taken over their school.
Why it matters
A tense blend of ’60s period dread and supernatural body horror that digs into censorship paranoia with a monstrous twist.
- Practical effects-driven creatures channel ’80s schoolhouse scares with a modern grotesque edge.
- A slow-burning atmosphere that mirrors Cold War anxieties through spectral hauntings and twisted flesh.
- Perfect for fans of folk-tinged horror and haunted school settings craving something off the beaten path.
- Not flawless—a few pacing lulls—but the inventive creature design and unsettling mood make it worth the trek into this shadowed classroom.
