Detention of the Dead

This is passable harmless fun, but it's so harmless it's barely worth watching. The characters are the most cardboard cut out of cliches, the story beats the same. The zombie genre is so saturated now that films like this just don't need to be made. See it if you love to watch all zombie movies, the good the bad, and the boring vanilla, but don't expect anything you haven't seen a hundred times before.

I had not heard of Detention of the Dead before, but when a title includes "...of the Dead," it usually falls into one of two categories: either a zombie classic or absolute nonsense trying to piggyback on a name like Day of the Dead. I assumed it would be the latter, but it turned out to be much better than anticipated. It's not one of the best zombie horror-comedy films out there, but it's definitely a decent watch.

The film follows a group of high school students in detention for various reasons, some of which are only revealed later. However, they soon discover that everyone else in and around the school has turned into flesh-eating undead. The group consists of the usual stereotypes: the handsome tough guy with his beautiful and popular girlfriend, the tough guy's sporty and somewhat dim-witted friends, a science nerd who's frequently bullied by the tough guy, and an odd goth girl who's neither particularly liked nor disliked, among others.

The storyline is almost ridiculously predictable-you can easily guess who will die next and who will do what. That said, there's always room for another zombie film, even if we've seen this story play out under numerous different titles and variations before.

A perfect example of how you could ruin a gory start of a zombie flick into a love story. I have no problem to bring in love into horror but here it overruns the death. And that's the major problem with Detention Of The Dead.

It has been compared with Shaun Of The Dead (2004) but on that part I don't agree. I never laughed with the jokes because they were again for an American release very childish. The farts, that has to be in every US comedy, how stupid is that. On the other hand when they start talking like in The Breakfast Club (1985) then again I prefer The Breakfast Club because it do has funny situations but here they are trying to make it funny with the sexy cheerleader known for sucking off every guy on school, the nerd falling in love with her and finally does, that's one you see coming from the first minute but hey, there's the weirdo, the goth chick who falls for the nerd and of course the muscled guy who dates the cheerleader. But all situations are so predictable that it even becomes a bit boring.

The final is a bit better because the zombies are coming in again. Still, the zombies looked rather good and some attacks were really messy and even sometimes gory. An ideal flick to start the evening while necking some brewies with your pals.

This movie mixed of Detention meet Dance of the Dead ,

The movie dose not take to long to get going and there are some very funny moment that made me laugh out loud.

we got normal detention group, Jock guys, hot cheerleader, goth girl, Drug guy and Nerd guy all in Detention.

Also guys come to seem to feel unwell and then hell break lose of cause

There were some silly over the tops here and there and some of the jokes can go on bit long, but it got laughing.

Some part of the movie are little boring for zombie there, Didn't really do much and sit and talk few room, which I could not case less about.

It did start bit gory but as the movie went the zombie deaths seem to less bloody not really really that gory.

I give 4.8 out of 10, It made laugh,, I just round it's off to 4 out of 10

This movie is really not too bad , its funny and acted pretty decent , its supposed to be not taken too 'serious'. All in all I had a great time watching it , it has a mix of high school students all in detention together , a geek , a Gothic chick , the prom queen and king and a couple a stoners , as the zombieness breaks out. The comedy is pretty stupid but that's what makes it so funny . Don't get the rating been so low , only 3.9 ? I have definitely saw worse zombie movies on bigger budgets than this. I give it 6/10 and look forward to seeing it again.

don't go buy the rating !! This really is worth watching !!
