Detention

DATE: October 8-11
TIME: Video On Demand
VENUE: NIGHTSTREAM Virtual Cinema

Not far removed from Guillermo Del Toro’s universe of gruesome fantasy, DETENTION is at once a shocking historical drama, a melancholy coming-of-age drama, and a terrifying horror film. Set during one night in Taiwan in 1962, at a time when martial law was heavily enforced, two classmates go looking into the disappearance of their friends and teachers, all of whom took part in an illegal book club. Wandering the darkened hallways they must confront the ghosts and deformed monsters that have taken over the school in order to find the truth they’re looking for.
