Bad Kids of Crestview Academy

A gleefully bloody and brassy high school horror-action romp (think a knowingly outrageous gory mash-up of The Breakfast Club, Scream and Heathers), this witty sequel to Bad Kids Go To Hell (2012) is once again based on Barry Wernick's comic books. It brings together a mismatched group of teens (enthusiastically gay, lesbian and straight) given detention at posh Crestview Academy. Before long, they get caught up in a series of gloriously Grand Guignol killings. A cult film in the making. (Edinburgh International Film Festival)
