In the indie film “Detention of the Dead”, comedy and horror unite in this “The Breakfast Club” meets “Shaun of the Dead” tale about a group of oddball high school students who find themselves trapped in detention with their classmates having turned into a horde of Zombies. Can they put their differences aside and work together to survive the night? Fat chance! This is High School after all.
When there’s no room left in Hell, the Dead go to Detention!
In the film , Justin Chon plays Ash, an edgy stoner punk who spent the bulk of this high school years getting high, thinking about getting high, or occasionally passing out after getting high. Zipping around school on his customized motorized longboard, Ash provides much of the student body with pills and weed, including selling school jock Jimmy over the counter drug which he passes off as steroids. Ash keeps remarkably ebullient as he’s pinned down in detention with zombies closing in on his fellow classmates.
