Review by AngryPrincess

What happens when a quiet, seemingly well mannered Teacher who used to serve his time as captain in the Army becomes depressed and miserable with his life after a divorce and other odd problems- he snaps like a twig in a thunder storm! Don Kellar has been doing a really shitty job at teaching lately and he can’t keep the kids interested in what he is saying- his class is a flat out joke.

The Principal is fed up so she decides to stick Don on the Saturday night detention duty where he is stuck being a bunch of pecker heads baby sitter. After being there not even a full 20 minutes, he loses it and its game on. You can tell the people who made this movie were big Breakfast Club fans one of the characters named Denise even looks like the basket case Ally Sheedy played.

They have the jock, nerd and princess also that are all stuck in this detention and guess what their assignment is? They have to write an essay- the similarities don’t end there but I don’t want to tell you everything because I hate reading reviews that tell everything about the movie or them having spoilers to ruin it for you. At first I didn’t think I was going to enjoy it but then things got going and it was cool.

The kids are being hunted down like prey in the halls of their school and are locked in for their protection incase someone tried to get in and cause harm. I guess you just never figure a teacher of yours is going to go postal and now the poor kids have no means to escape. The chase scenes reminded me of Prom Night-not as intense but still enough to give you that desperate feeling!
