In the latest episode of our BEST HORROR MOVIE YOU NEVER SAW video series, we take a look at the 2011 surreal horror-satire DETENTION, directed by Joseph Kahn (TORQUE), and starring Josh Hutcherson, Shanley Caswell, and Spencer Locke!
It's an extremely entertaining postmodern take on the horror genre, that not only skewers slashers, Cronenbergian body horror, and mid-2000s torture porn films, but also examines how our relationship with the genre - and media in general - helps shape our own lived experiences. It's worth checking out, if any of that sounds appealing to you!
Here's the official synopsis: As a copycat killer named after movie villain Cinderhella stalks the student body at Grizzly Lake High School, a group of co-eds band together to survive while serving detention.
Series Synopsis: The Best Horror Movie You Never Saw is dedicated to highlighting horror films that, for one reason or another, don't get as much love as we think they should. We know plenty of you horror hounds out there will have seen many of the movies we pick, but there will be plenty of you who have not.
