Five students are taught a lesson they would never forget.
Deadly Detention is a Horror Film by Blair Hayes.
Five high school students from different cliques have all gotten Saturday School detention for their various misdeeds, and they're going to be spending their time in detention in a former prison (because the school is being fumigated) with the principal, Ms. Presley (Gillian Vigman).
Soon after detention begins, however, something happens to Ms. Presley, and the building is taken over by an unseen person who has malicious plans for the students. Now they'll all have to work together to get out, or else they'll all die.
The film was released on December 12th, 2017.
