Review of Detention (2012) by Colt R — 12 Jul 2013
Damn near unclassifiable horror/comedy/meta exercise in...something. A sort of stylistic cousin to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World only more headache-inducing. Something of a juggling act that comes SOOOO close to tying up all the disparate plot threads it tosses out during its running time.
Yet, ultimately it can't wrap it all up, and it sort of remains just a snazzy stream of 90's pop culture references (with the occasional intrusion of a part-insect quarterback, Canadians, alien abductions and time travel escapades.
) It's just as confusing as it sounds and yet it's still entertaining...if you can handle the wild stylistic swings.
