Detention of the Dead

Detention of the Dead is a zom-com set in a high school. It's far more formulaic than it should be, and while it features a couple of subversive moments, it misses far more opportunities for laughs and insights than it hits. You notice its misses while it plays, which is the last thing you should want to be thinking about. The makeup and special effects are good, and the cast is game, but it doesn't do enough to make it worth watching over something like Shaun of the Dead.
