The Detained (2017) Reviews

  • Hardly Watchable

    compugor2019-02-20

    Even not watching it straight through (had to take it in doses), its still embarrassing to have seen the entire thing. The very end was kind of campy-cutesie but overall the film takes itself way too seriously for having a cast of grotesque characatures glibly plodding through the cheesy screenplay of the least interesting story ever told.

  • Shot well, suffers from poor writing and direction.

    The camera work and the actual look of everything was well done for a movie with what I assume was a shoestring budget. The premise is fairly simple, bit of 'Breakfast Club' in a prison attempt where the students are all hunted by an unknown assailant. And that's about all there is to the plot. The problem is everything else. It's hard to criticize the acting because the dialogue and actions they say and do are so...juvenile and stupid that I don't think any actor would have been able to make them work. It's obvious the writers have no idea how modern teens talk or behave. They're supposedly arch-type teenagers but they're archetypes lifted from like a 2005 Nickelodeon sitcom. Nothing that happens ever has any real impact, there's no emotional connection to any of these characters because they're all sort of unbearable and annoying. There's no sense of dread or fear. It's just a group of "teens" making stupid quips as they wander around a prison until one of them supposedly dies. I say supposedly because you never actually SEE anything that happens. Literally all the violence, if there is any, happens off screen. You never actually see what happens to a character when they're killed off. You see them being approached, a scared face, and then the scene is over and the story has moved on already. Basically if this is a horror, comedy, and drama genre movie without any actual horror, comedy, or drama in it...then what is it? That's the feeling this movie leaves you with. It's nothing. It's not offensive really, there's just no point to watching it. It's just some fairly well shot unimaginative boring nonsense with a couple funny lines. Can't recommend it.

  • An unoriginal, stereotypical slasher

    gitrektnubsss2019-02-16

    This isn't original by any aspects. This isn't a very bad film at the same time. It's enjoyable if you like bad acting and cheesy dialogue. And i understand that all the kids are purposely stereotypes as part of the killers plan, which is revealed at the end, but they just go overboard with the stereotypes. Add that to the cringy dialogue and acting and you've got yourself a poorly made good-for-a-boring-saturday-evening slasher film

  • Coulda Been, Shoulda Been, Wasn't

    So let's see, five high school teens have been naughty and go to Saturday detention in an abandoned prison (say what?). There's the conceited hottie, the athletic female jock, the manly skateboarder, the male hottie, and the gay black boy. Put them together with the school principal and some are bound to die, right? Maybe, maybe not. I guessed who the so-called killer was about 10 minutes in. So why did I bother watching? I was hoping to see some good old fashioned horror scares, some light-hearted comedic banter, and perhaps a little skin thrown in as a bonus...but no such luck. Is it a worthwhile watch? Nope.

  • Watching this made me feel like I was in detention.

    This movie feels like a punishment for people who like slasher movies. There is no payoff whatsoever! None of the "kills" were shown at all. The characters were bizarre and almost slapstick, yet they were still tied down and restricted to this MTV type of script. There was potential here, and a decent hand to be played with these actors and location, but those in charge of this 'mistake' of a film seemed to only have an interest in trolling slasher fans. Don't fall for it.
