Watch the Creepy Trailer for the Film Adaptation of DETENTION
Did you ever play Detention from Red Candle Games? I didn’t because I don’t like horror games. However, the game is highly praised and now Warner Bros. has adapted the game into a film. Here’s a synopsis for the game which is probably quite close to what the movie will be about:
“Greenwood high school, located in a remote mountainous area, two students found themselves trapped and vulnerable. The place they once knew has changed in unsettling ways, haunted by evil creatures. To escape, they must explore the mysterious campus filled with ominous objects and puzzles. How will they survive in this ever threatening environment? Could they return to safety in one piece?
Set in a fictitious world in the 1960s Taiwan under martial law, Detention, the story-driven atmospheric horror incorporated East Asian elements rarely used in games. Taoism, Buddhism, Chinese mythology, the game draws on local Taiwanese cultural references to tell an unique and terrifying story.”
You can check out the trailer for the film below and it is sufficiently creepy. It looks like it will scare most people who see it. Detention will release in Taiwan on September 20 with no word on a western release. My guess is that in a couple months it will become available on a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu. Did you play the game? Will you watch the movie?
