Detention of the Dead is a 2012 American zombie comedy film written and directed by Alex Craig Mann,[1][2] based on the Rob Rinow stage play[3] of the same name.

Upon arrival, Eddie sees a few familiar faces: Janet (Christa B. Allen), a cheerleader whom he has a crush on; Brad (Jayson Blair), a jock and high-school football player who bullies Ed and plans to join the ROTC; Jimmy (Max Adler), another football player/jock who also bullies Eddie and is good friends with Brad; Ash (Justin Chon), a happy-go-lucky stoner; and Eddie's best friend Willow (Alexa Nikolas), a goth who shares with him a love for zombie movies.

However, Mark becomes aggressive, biting Mrs. Rumblethorp and forcing the group to evacuate the detention room despite Eddie's suggestion for the teacher to back away from him due to his current condition.

Eddie and Willow argue that they must kill Jimmy before he becomes a zombie, but Brad remains confident that his friend can survive his bite.

While doing so, the group bond, learning more about each other, challenging their original high-school stereotypes, which they list openly: the nerd (Eddie), the social outcast and goth (Willow), the popular, self-involved cheerleader (Janet), the jock (Brad) and the stoner (Ash).

Realizing the barricades will not hold, Brad, Willow and Ash decide to escape through the vents while Eddie and Janet remain in the library.

The barricades of the door begin to weaken, before Brad eventually succumbs to his infection and attacks Janet, who manages to knock him out of a window nearby.
