*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by American World Pictures.
Director: James D. R. Hickox.
Writers: James D. R. Hickox, Stephen Johnston, Michael Muscal, and John Stienfield.
So, here is another entry for worst horror film for 2011 with Detention. This film stars the late David Carradine and Thomas Calabro as two faculty staff of a haunted school.
