Here’s the theatrical trailer for Joseph Kahn’s spazzed-out horror-comedy DETENTION, which hits theaters in a few short weeks. The trailer gets across some of the movie’s hyper-kinetic tone – a nutty combination of MTV original programming and SCREAM – but it really doesn’t sell just how unhinged the whole affair is. Imagine drinking five Red Bulls and then snorting a pile of cocaine, and you’re still nowhere near the energy level of DETENTION. (My review of the film will hit the week of its release.)
Josh Hutcherson, Dane Cook, Shanley Caswell and Spencer Locke star in DETENTION, a hipster, teen horror-comedy where the local students of Grizzly Lake must survive their final year of high school. Standing in their way is Cinderhella, a slasher-movie killer who has seemingly come to life and is preying on the school’s student body. As the clock ticks and the bodies pile up, the likely suspects are embroiled in a race against time to stop Cinderhella and ultimately save the world… if only they can get out of detention.
DETENTION will hit theaters on April 13th.
