Trailer, Art and Stills for the “Other” ‘Detention’
Now on DVD from Take 2 Releasing/Allegro is James Hickox’s Detention, starring the late great David Carradine, Billy Aaron Brown, Thomas Calabro, and Zelda Williams.
Not to be confused with Sony’s new pop-culture slasher, “A group of high school students are sent to after-school Detention for unexplained reasons. There, the teenagers find themselves abandoned and locked in the classroom after their detention teacher leaves, then mysteriously disappears. With night slowly approaching, a thunderstorm builds outside. The heavy rain and lightning cause a massive power failure, throwing the school into total darkness. Then strange, haunting images of ghosts begin to appear in the school. The kids manage to break out of the classroom only to find that the old building has taken on a life of its own, keeping them trapped inside. As they struggle to escape, the teenagers learn about the death of a student back in the 1970’s. Slowly they unravel the history of this tragedy and learn that they are somehow connected to the student’s macabre and untimely death. They will also soon find out that they are being held responsible for this horrific event of the past and will pay for it with their lives!”

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
