*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I gotta say first of all that this horror short was a lot better than expected and better than what the score on here says. It's about a kid in school whose classmates become zombies.
On the bad side, there is no backstory into how they become zombies. One of them becomes a zombie attacks a teacher, teacher becomes a zombies and process continues. The short also is pretty slow for first minutes.
On positive side, despite the director's webpage that explains all the problems he had for the movie the short really came of being very professional. The editing is very good, the special effects are OK for a low budget and acting is passable. The movie has a pretty scary music track to enliven the dark, and fearful scenes to follow. I would have liked to see more gore, but all in all it was a much better short than I expected it to be.
This is the second zombie flick that I've seen from Ireland. If you know your history you'll be familiar with the other zombie flick known as "Dead Meat" around the same.
"Detained" however is a pretty decent horror short. The director has his own website at http://www.detainedthemovie.com/ and you can view his journals and every tidbit that went into the making of the movie. It's actually very interesting reading especially for anyone that wants to do their own shorts.
