From the director of Torque, the 2004 Fast ‘n Furious clone that blew audience’s virgin minds with its video game cutscene-like special effects and blatant Mountain Dew advertising, comes Detention, one of the most buzzed about flicks at last year’s South By Southwest. The film is a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek parody of horror films that AICN described as a cross between Scott Pilgrim and Scream. Not much was heard about the Joseph Kahn-helmed movie after SXSW, leaving many horror fans to wonder if they were ever going to get the chance to see it.
Fortunately, AICN reports that Samuel Goldwyn Films have granted Detention a April 13th release date. The cast features Josh Hutcherson, Dane Cook, Spencer Locke, and Aaron Perilo. Check out the trailer here.
