11.30 pm - sunday 28 th August - DETENTION

UK Premiere

Director Joseph Kahn. Starring Josh Hutcherson, Shanley Caswell, Parker Bagley, Dane Cook, Spencer Locke, USA 2011, 93 mins.

From in-demand rock video director Joseph Kahn (Lady GaGa, Kylie, Eminem, Britney, U2, Muse etc) comes a fast and furious teen comedy slasher unlike any other. Call it the real SCRE4M, DONNIE DARKO meets HEATHERS, or a double John homage from Hughes to Carpenter, this mad, manic and magic mash-up is an instant cult favourite. High school outcast Riley Jones has a secret crush on cool kid Clapton Davis but can’t stand the angst anymore so decides to commit suicide. Suddenly a serial killer dressed as the horror movie icon ‘Cinderhella’ arrives to help her along… and that’s when aliens start appearing in the night skies, a stuffed grizzly bear becomes a time machine and the head jock turns into human fly. Riffing equally on BACK TO THE FUTURE and PROM NIGHT and ramping up its genre elements, self-awareness and one-liners to a dizzying pace, this DETENTION centre is pure post-modern playfulness.
