Leave your thoughts about Detention of the Dead.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWhile it features some pleasing tech credits and an engaged cast, the effort swings too wildly from sensitivity to slapstick, resulting in a disagreeably disorienting viewing experience. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonThe easiest and most honest line on Detention of the Dead is that it's better than it has any reasonable right or need to be, given its aims. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.This kind of fodder has been handled better in films like "Dance of the Dead," and "Shaun of the Dead." |
| Dread CentralSteve "Uncle Creepy" BartonIt hits way more than it misses, and there are some truly shining moments strewn throughout the flick to keep even the hungriest of gorehounds satisfied. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleSix-year-olds at recess could come up with a wittier script and more charming performances, since they probably wouldn't be hampered by lame pop culture references, laziness disguised as parody, and gore disguised as slapstick. |
| User ReviewRafael AWorth the watch if you love zombies, like i do. Acting, kinda well. Sucked, Actually acting was okay. Not great, but okay. |
| User Reviewbri hIt's the breakfast club with zombies. |
| User ReviewDaniel NYes, yes it was cheesy and it wasnt as good as shaun of the dead but being a high school student I get most of the jokes that are put in there. It was also gory and violent. All in all it was a good movie. |
| User ReviewJay BYou can certainly feel the lacking budget, but this Michigan filmed horror romp is charming, funny and deliciously campy. Think Shaun of the Dead meets The Breakfast Club. If you know your zombie films... you are in for a load of inside humor and hidden references. |
| User ReviewLuis Buna peli sobre zombies que no defrauda, entretiene y tiene todos los estereotipos yankies. |
