Review: Bad Kids Go to Hell (2012)



Review: Bad Kids Go to Hell (2012)

This time I got a film that is based on a popular independent graphic novel…lucky me…

The Breakfast Club meets The Grudge in this sexy, dark comedy-thriller! Six prep school kids from Crestview Academy, home to the spoiled offspring of society's elite, find themselves stuck in detention on a frightfully dark and stormy Saturday afternoon. During their 8 hour incarceration, each of the six kids falls victim to a horrible "accident" until only one of them remains. As each of these spoiled rich kids bites the dust, the story takes on a series of humorous and frantic twists and turns. Is one of the kids secretly evening the school's social playing field? Or have the ghosts of prestigious Crestview Academy finally come to punish the school's worst (and seemingly untouchable) brats? One thing is for sure...Daddy's money can't save them now.

Five nasty rotten asshole socials in a haunted library, how could I not love this. This film is truly the horror fan’s Breakfast Club, with truly nasty versions of the stereotypes that horror stole from the John Hughes classic. It even has Judd Nelson in it!!!

This film has wonderful set pieces. The murders are wonderful and the twist at the end was worthy of a full on fist bump. This movie made me smile, it was so good. This film is AWESOMETACULAR!!!  And would suggest it is well worth getting the DVD…This film is currently in the On Demand Halloween Hits section on Pluto TV…
