Detention of the Dead

When a zombie apocalypse breaks out during a high school detention session, a group of unlikely students must band together to survive. Trapped in the school with a horde of the undead, they face their worst fears and grudgingly learn to cooperate. Their only hope lies in escaping the building before they all become victims of the outbreak.

Detention of the Dead was largely met with negative reviews from critics, who found its humor and horror elements to be uninspired and derivative of better zombie comedies. Audiences, however, found some entertainment value in its campy nature and straightforward B-movie appeal.

• The film relies too heavily on tired zombie tropes and predictable jump scares.

• The humor often falls flat, failing to land its intended comedic beats.

• Despite its flaws, some viewers may appreciate its low-budget charm and earnest attempt at a zombie flick.
