Detention

About This Movie

So, 'Detention' is set in a Catholic school back in '78, which already gives it this eerie vibe. The whole thing kicks off with these kids in detention and an unsettling tension in the air. You've got Billy, a character who's not just missing from roll-call, but drops in with a crew ready to unleash chaos. It's got this raw, gritty feel, like you’re right there with them. The blend of drama and horror really works, especially with the tension between the characters. The atmosphere is thick, and the performances, while not always polished, carry a certain weight that feels real. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but once it hits its stride, you feel every moment of that reckoning for Morgan. Not your typical horror flick, that's for sure.
